Ha. I love Chappel Roan so dang much.

Have you seen Rick Astley doing Pink Pony Club?

[conuly]

I have not!

Also: will text later, if only so I remember to put your number in my phone :)

[lizziey]

Its so good! I follow him on TikTok, and that is where he posted it.

And ok! Don't forget! :D I stay up sort of late, but one of my favorite kids at work has a sociology exam tomorrow afternoon, so I'll be at work a little early, but thats still not til noon so I will probably be up a while longer. Send a text so I can send you cute Freyja pictures! And this one side by side I have of Chris/Sethy and Topher/Freyja. Its CRAZY.

Oh god it is good.

I got distracted with fucking laundry, but I'll text now.

[lizziey]

Right?? His song Lights Out is one of my favorites. For all he's become a meme, the man really can sing.

It was good catching up a little! :D

I'll have to text again later. I don't know if it's allergies or what but I'm so tired this week.

I find it hilarious that the poll is evenly split. LOL!

(at it is at the time I'm making this comment)

Half those people are obviously wrong.

[archersangel]

i've never seen an official lyrics videos, just fan (user?) made ones. but i'm pretty sure the few i've seen say lyrics in the title.

[conuly]

That's what I thought too, because it's the obviously correct option, the word "lyrics" is a plurale tantum, and then I took a look.

[cellio]

Lyrics, unless there's only one, like some Alleluias, but then why would you bother?

A "lyric video" makes me think of some particularly artful rendition -- "lyric" being an adjective modifying "video". That is probably not what people mean. :-)

[conuly]

Right!?

Buuuuuuuuuuuut wikipedia suggests that the plurale tantum form came later.

I have Hildegard Von Blingen's lyrics for Pink Pony Club that I perform in Lord of the Rings Online occasionally. :-)

[historicalmuse]

It's lyrics and I love Chappell. <3

[bluapapilio]

I had not seen the lyrics video! That's so perfect. 😂

[agoodwinsmith]

Thank you.

"Lyrics video" is semantically correct, but "lyric video" sounds better--it flows melodically better, so I could see why she'd go for that spelling as a musician. It's more lyrical. It's her. The queen is never wrong.
