Heard Mentality stumbled upon comedy site Am I Right, which calls out bad grammar in various songs. While the list is skimpy at best, we combed through it and found a few local acts in the mix. As a grammar teacher said, “You could get lost in this….”
Gwen Stefani
“Bubble Pop Electric”
The Lyrics: I'm restless, can't you see I try my bestest…
Why: It should be, “…I try my best”. But whatever, Gwen's amazing and she can do whatever she wants!!
“Rich Girl”
The Lyrics: If I was a rich girl.
Why: That's wrong. It's supposed to be “If I WERE a rich girl.”
