Thread Name: Worst singing accent.
Subject: RE: Worst singing accent.
Guest, I've always hated the pronunciation white people ascribed to African Americans. About the weirdest example of that is a 78 rpm record I have of a Black college choir singing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" with these college guys singing the dialect. The words are pretty much the same. The accent is what's different. Nobody does song lyrics à la Mainers, or Minnesotans.
