Rest in Peace (RIP) Meatloaf

 



When I started this blog, I spent hours looking for good songs with proper English lyrics.  I gave up.  It's good for you to listen to these songs anyway.  This video honors an artist that just died, and it demonstrates how we pronounce "can" differently when there's another verb behind it.

Do NOT say "ain't" even though it's a common word. 
  •  Ain't means isn't.  
  • There ain't no way = there isn't any way.// That ain't gettin us nowhere = that isn't getting us anywhere = Our efforts are not working.
  •  cause = because.  gonna = going to (used like will to show future.) 
  •  hoarse = voice sounds weird from sickness, crying or yelling.

Did you ever listen to Meatloaf's music?  Who are your favorite singers?
