A wonderful artist who makes his living a bit like Weird Al, spoofing on other artists works. He's probably best known for his take on "PopStar" but he just put a new one up on his MySpace making fun of Justin Timberlake's "The Way I Are" (renamed "Bad Grammar").

The link above is to his MySpace, I do believe he has it open to the public but he'd be easy to find on YouTube or Break.com.



I copied down his "Bad Grammar" lyrics, they are pretty funny...in a sort of sad way because it's true.


Lyrics: I aint got no reason
I aint got no motive to articulate
My consonants and vowels
I see no good reason to enunciate
(talk to me girl)
Oh Baby, it's alright you've got no eloquence
As long as it rhymes it don't have to make sense
Just throw out all those grammatical elements
There ain't no need to say it right

Chorus
It's the latest trend, go and tell your friends
We can all begin to use some bad grammar
All the latest songs like to say it wrong
We be singin wit some bad grammar
Take the last letter off a' end a' words
Now you talking with some bad grammar
I ain' pullin tricks wit my linguistics
I'm jus' talkin' talkin', talkin'


Verse 2
I don't use no syntax
I aint got no idea what a singular verb is
I'm worser at superlatives
And I don't ever use no double negatives

Talk to me girl

Bridge 2
Oh, baby, it's alright c'mon now don't be scurred
It's all the latest craze to mispronounce some words
Like instead of that right there, we would say that right thurr
And we won't even spell it right

Chorus
It's the latest trend, go and tell your friends
We can all begin to use some bad grammar
All the latest songs like to say it wrong
We be singin wit some bad grammar
Take the last letter off a' end a' words
Now you talking with some bad grammar
I ain' pullin tricks wit my linguistics
I'm jus' talkin' talkin', talkin'

Baby girl, When I took my English class, you know I barely passed
Listen baby girl, got no proper verbal skills but I be wearin grills
So listen baby girl, I ain gotta talk the talk to make my record pop
So that's why baby girl, when I'm talkin, it seems impaired, seems impaired yeah.

Yo my grammar ain' no prodigy
My strongest suit isn't morphology
It's hard for people to be understandin me
Never changed my verbal habits since when I was three

So, Listen baby girl, before you make another sound, make sure that you're on par
Cause listen baby girl, We talking wit some bad grammar, bad grammar

Chorus
It's the latest trend, go and tell your friends
We can all begin to use some bad grammar
All the latest songs like to say it wrong
We be singin wit some bad grammar
Take the last letter off a' end a' words
Now you talking with some bad grammar
I ain' pullin tricks wit my linguistics
I'm jus' talkin' talkin', talkin'
