Sea shanties and traditional Folk songs...

[Workingman]

... have their own 'accents' regardless who sings them.

Popular music has largely escaped this, until now.

Listen (in your head) to that popular Barnsley crooner, Deen Mar'in as he sings Gen'el on mi Mind.

It's knowin' that thy doer is allus op-en
N' thy path is free t'walk
That meks mi tend t'leave mi sleepin' bag
Rolled up and pushed beyind thy couch

I will go lie down now.

[Kaz]

Yes, I should...............

[TheOstrich]

Been sniffing that fabric glue again, methinks ...

[miasmum]

I was singing that in my head in exactly that accent

[Workingman]

I was singing that in my head in exactly that accent

Oh thank you, thank you.... it is so good to know that I am not the only weirdo on VV.
