I'm willing to cut rock songs some slack, grammatically speaking. I have no problem with "I Can't Get No Satisfaction," or even "'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain." (I do have some problems with "There were plants and birds and rocks and things." Failure of imagination.) But the System of a Down Song currently playing on KROQ just sets my teeth on edge.
Although the song's title is the perfectly fine "Lonely Day," the song persists in constantly repeating the astoundingly ungrammatical chorus, "The Most Loneliest Day of My Life," every other verse.
Just how many loneliest days did this guy have?
