[i]martyoutloud: paradoxi?

I am mildly obsessed with making an opportunity to go dancing, almost entirely because I've purchased Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" single and it makes me bounce with joy around my apartment, and I would like to do this with a clubfull of bodies, preferably delighted and shirtless gay men.

However and also, the grammatical inaccuracy in the song -- "you and me could write a bad romance" -- while utterly overlookable in the song's general fabulosity, brings up a to-me interesting point, which is that the correct phrasing -- "you and I could write a bad romance" -- would actually sound BETTER, in my humble opinion, because of the repeated "I" sound.

And there you have it. Go about your business.
