Why is grammar sometimes incorrect in song lyrics? We answer your recent questions on this episode.

Correction! Feedback from Ana on episode 298 about Mexico – Desperados is a French beer, not Mexican. Desperados is a tequila-flavoured pale lager beer with 5.9% alcohol by volume originally created and produced by the French brewing company Fischer Brewery, now produced by Heineken.

Comment on the website inglespodcast.com from Isabel Chamorro
Hi Reza and Craig:
As you have said in this podcast there are at least two songs where the third person of present simple is used in the wrong way, I send you the lyrics of ” Captain Sunshine” by Neil Diamond.
He uses “Do” instead of “Does” and “Make” instead of “Makes”.
I think they do that because of the rhyme, don’t they?

Captain Sunshine, make me drink wine,
Make me feel fine when I’m feelin’ wrongly down.
He don’t take much, he don’t make much,
But ah, to be such a man as he,
And walk so pure between the earth and the sea.
Captain Sunshine, he do me fine,
Make the words rhyme when he knows the tune is sad.
He don’t take much, he don’t make much,
But ah, to be such a man as he,
And walk so pure between the earth and the sea.
He don’t take much, he don’t make much,
But ah, to be such a man as he,
And walk so pure between the earth and the sea.
