Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Index

Song lyrics aren't supposed to be a fountain of perfect english, but on the other hand some are just so atrocious, they need to get called out. We're not looking for sentance fragments or the word ain't since there are too many instances to count.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics, Index

Here's a couple of the most recent entries...

Taylor Swift's, "Karma"
The Lyrics:
Me and karma vibe like that
Why:
It should be "Karma and I vibe like that", since the line should still make sense if "karma" is taken out of it.
Submitted by: Nat
Damien Rice's, "Forgotten Deers"
The Lyrics:
Where the deers go to be forgotten
Why:
The standard plural of "deer" is "deer", which is irregular.
