Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Smashmouth
Song lyrics aren't supposed to be a fountain of perfect english, but on the other hand some are just so atrocious, they need to get called out. We're not looking for sentance fragments or the word ain't since there are too many instances to count.
Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics, Smashmouth
Check out the index.
All Star: The Smash Hits of Smash Mouth album at Amazon.com
Smashmouth's, "Walking On The Sun"
The Lyrics:
But if the offer is shun, you might as well be walkin' on the sun
Why:
"Shun" is used here as either a noun or an adjective, not a verb. It should be "if the offer were shunned."
