domenico	Irish accent right or wrong? (60* d)	RE: Irish accent right or wrong?	24 Aug 99
GeorgeH, You have no idea how incredibly bad an Angeleno can mangle The Psychadelic Furs' "Love My Way"... :) Side note/observation: I noticed that in Pop music, most Artists tend to "do it straight", so much so, that the barely intelligible Quebecois Celine Dion sings with clarity in a "Standard American English" accent. The same goes for Mr. Manchester himself, Vince Clarke of Erasure. His conversational accent is almost thicker than some of the Glaswegians I've spoken with, yet when singing, his lyrics are crisp and clear. My theory, music tends to trancsend accents, it's just shaped air after all, but the vocabulary shapes the performance. If a Scot says "aroond", and us gringo's say "around", then "aroond" it will be when MacPherson "...played a tune, and dances aroond, below the gallows tree..." .02 here.... Check please! :)
