Spot the English errors:
"I'm sorry I misleaded you, pretty lady..."
"Let's just get back together, we should've never broke up"
"Who would've ever knew, we would ever be more than friends"
What is with the acceptance of INCORRECT ENGLISH in mainstream pop music?!
Can anyone think of any other examples?

Not so much pop as underground metal, but Bullet For My Valentine: "Hearts Burst Into Fire".
And yes, this gives away a lot of my personality when I'm posting on English boards on a Friday night when I'm not even doing English this year.

The Killers - Human:
"Are we human, or are we dancer?"
No 's' on 'dancer'...and that's a fact. Why?!

I always wondered if I was mishearing that one. Why, indeed?!

'Hearts Burst Into Fire' = how many hearts are there?

Just heard a classic one, from 'Commander' by David Guetta and Kelly Rowland:
'You won't find no other who does it like I does it, yeah'
Don't really know where to start with that one.

Good one, Miss Davidson.
Two lines from the same old school classic:
"Does his friends get all your time"? and "I don't want you to cry no more".
If ANY pupil at this school can name this song without the use of google I will eat my metaphorical hat.
Davidson, I said PUPIL.

Could this possibly be "All I Have To Give" by the backstreet boys? ;D

Yes! 'Anonymous' gets the prize. But can't, as they're anonymous.
