Copacabana Explained

We know you've long wondered about the grammatical structure underlying the genius that is Barry Manilow's Copacabana. Wonder no more.

Thanks to Lynne P. for the link (though we do object at the claim that "Copacabana" is an inexcusable fragment. We excuse it. We embrace it. Indeed, unto our very bosom.)

Finally, He's Playing Our Song

However brilliant he is at parody, Weird Al has always been vaguely embarrassing to watch. Now, though, we are singing along. Thanks to Forrest for the link.

From Jessica Simpson's Twitter feed:

love it when the lyric of a song asks me a question

This is one of those times when additional commentary feels unnecessary.

For Your Listening Enjoyment

UPDATE: Stay tuned, so to speak. We are having some trouble with the technology. Oh, modern times! You vexeth us!

A playlist of songs with grammar errors. Our personal favorite? The disaster that is Neil Diamond.

On the Peculiar Anatomy of Giants

We've heard that giants have big, square teeth. We've heard they have fingers like jointed wine barrels. We'd easily believe reports of terrible breath, scrubby hair and myopic eyes -- placed singly, or in pairs, beneath their humongous, protruding brows.

It's news to us, though, that giants are sharing just one shoulder. Thanks, Oasis, for letting us know with your album "Standing on the Shoulder of Giants."

Thanks to Marcus P. for the notification.

A Band We Like

Name? The Subjects

Members of the band? Two high school graduates and two of their teachers.

Origin of the Name? An argument about grammar. This alone is enough to make our pulse race. Even better, their music rocks.

Go Subjects, Go!
