Thread Name: so many consonants in a row esp. in songs
Subject: RE: so many consonants in a row esp. in songs
We have a popular cartoon called 'Dilbert.' There's a lazy guy named Wally in the strip, and recently Wally was the focal point for a day. He was in a meeting, and the boss asked him for a report on work he'd done. Of course Wally hadn't done any work.

Wally jerks upright and thinks to himself "Time to disagree with an argument that hasn't been raised!"

And that's what a number of people are doing here - arguing with a point that hasn't been raised. Namely, nobody has argued that we should (or could) alter the entire English language. This thread is about altering lyrics to suit the people who are going to sing them.

It's also about having fun by submitting catchphrases which are also mouthfuls.
