Is it possible for a musical style to pull you into adopting an accent? I think this happens when singing Irish songs.

Blues or country seem to do the same. R's tend to get dropped in words like "door" ("doh") or G's get dropped in "country."

Also affecting how rhymed words occur in a song such as "Rain-again (gayne) and "When-again (gen).
