Allan Conn Is folk a dirty four-letter word? (276* d) RE: Is folk a dirty four-letter word? 29 Dec 21


People do change lyrics of pop songs all the time. From a basically rewriting of the words for example Puff Daddy's "I'll Be Wanting You" which is "Every Breath You Take" - to less comprehensive changes for example Sinatra's take on "Mrs Robinson". More personally I do a Scots language take on "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" which involved a fair bit of word changing too. I also do Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight" with the last verse altered. I don't think it is that uncommon. Another example is Kirsty McCall's version of "New England" which is slightly different and has an extra verse.
