I have to admit, I find this very, very odd.

Yeah, I heard that on NPR this morning. I couldn't understand the words they were singing, though.

Odd indeed. I don't think I am giving anything away by telling you this about the ending: it doesn't end in a preposition.

I am a grammar nazi and an academic musician.

This sounds like nothing but fun to me. [Big Grin]

I love Strunk & White. But this (at least the samples) sounds AWFUL! *shudder* Some things, I hate to say it, just should not be musicals. [Razz]

I love Strunk & White too, but I think grammar manuals definitely count as one of those things. Also, anything about a circus, generally bad. Carnival. Ugh.

Ni!
