Coffee Break: Bad grammar

by Anna Reed

March 10, 2016

"Words are a treasure. Grammar is a prison." -Brian Oake

On Day 1 of Oake and Riley in the morning, we found out that Brian has strong feelings about grammar. Do you agree with him? Or are you a vehement grammar supporter?

Either way, let's listen to songs this morning that are so good that we don't even mind their bad grammar usage.

So for today's Coffee Break, send us your ideas for songs whose lyrics use bad grammar.

Songs played


Ain't No Sunshine - Bill Withers
Say It Ain't So - Weezer
Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend
I Can't Get No Satisfaction - Devo
Don't Come Around Here No More - Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

Do you deserve a Coffee Break? We at The Current's Morning Show think you do, and we want to bring coffee and treats from Peace Coffee and Glam Doll Donuts to your workplace. Let us know why you'd like a Coffee Break - or request your own idea for a future topic.
