CONDITIONALS IN SONGS

Listen to the following famous songs. Each of these songs has in their lyrics different conditional sentences. 

Let’s discover them! Which is the conditional in each song? 

How do you pronounce the word "PSYCHOLOGICAL"?

There are times ..... when we've got problems pronouncing certain words in English. That usually happens with long words where we find ourselves "lost" in trying to pronounce them.

This might help you. Our generation, those who were born in the 60 and 70s, owe music groups such as Supertramp part of our English knowledge.

Therefore I will like to share it with you. This is the link, and it's been followed by the lyrics. After that try to sing it along.......

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,

a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.

But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
the questions run too deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a "vegtable"!


At night, when all the world's asleep,
the questions run so deep
for such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
but please tell me who I am.

KEN LEE........

Do you know what a  MONDEGREEN is? I bet most of you do already know it, but ..... 


A Mondegreen is basically the same as misheard lyrics, that is a word or phrase that results from a mishearing of something said or sung . The online dictionary Merriam Webster uses as an example :“very close veins” is a mondegreen for “varicose veins”.


We can't forget "ken Lee...."





Now it's your turn. Think about yourself: haven't you ever sung an English song believing that what you say is the "correct" version of the song?


 If you have, share it with us.... Write your mondegreen, the one you are really proud of. Write the line in your comments, together with the title of the song and if possible, the link to it. THANKS!
