I despair!

I just heard a song (in the loosest form of the word) on the telly. They had the word 'Corner' rhyming with the phrase 'Warn you'!

No wonder the yoofz cant spell...

[dieselboy]

Was it a Dannii Minogue song?

[Calos]

Don't get me started...

Basicaly I don't mind when an inflection or accent is used to "sell" a lyric but when people just can't speak properly it does wind me up somewhat.

eg "baby PEAs dant gaw" instead of baby please don't go used by James Brown.

Or "Sue Lawley" instead of "So lonely" by Sting, it's just a Geordie inflection.

People should be shot by firing squad for using AXE instead of ask when they are speaking not singing though.

I beg to differ, I'm a Geordie and I certainly wouldn't say 'Sue Lawley' instead of 'So Lonely', nor would any of the people I know. I believe that Sue Lawley thing was perpetrated by a comedian at the time as the the record was released while Nationwide, starring Sue Lawley, was a popular news program.

When I was a DJ in the 80's I can also remember people singing, 'Go and get stuffed' to Billy Oceans, 'When The Going Gets Tough'.

"'scuse me while I kiss this guy"

Always good for a laugh if you can pick up a copy cheap somewhere...

"me dick just dialed ya number"

2 weeks in Bali is another good one.....

[blackpoolsparks]

"Bingo Jed had a light on"
instead of "Big old jet airliner"

None taken mate, perhaps I should have included that in my reply. The 'Geordie' dialect does change dramatically within a 30 mile radius of Newcastle though! Sometimes when I see (and hear) some of my Geordie bretheren talking on national news it makes me cringe.

I think you'll find that if it weren't for the Romans, there would be no Geordies.
