Are all your songs about boobs? That's what comes to mind... Mine at least.

His first album is The Grand Tetons by Sneaky Mountains

 

They say he's the breast new artist in town and they're gland he's entered the scene. Raise a cup for this titillating collection of songs, he's milking the competition!

Personally, my least favorite is when "could have" becomes "could of" because of the contraction "could've." Same goes for could's partners in crime: would and should. When people mix up then/than or there/their/they're or your/you're, it still reads correctly in my head even if the error bugs me. But I have to double take when I see "would of" in a sentence. It just doesn't compute.

All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas

Layin' in the sun,

Talkin' bout the things

They woulda-coulda-shoulda done...

But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas

All ran away and hid

From one little did.
