You can often see ungrammatical phrases in songs and commercials just to make it sound nicer.

Presumably, the speaker is in the process of enjoyment. The quoted rules about verbs that are not used in the progressive form are incomplete.

We don't say "I am loving you" to mean "I love you". However, we do use "I am loving" to refer to events that we are enjoying at the time.

You guys don't even know what a "chip" is. And Btritish cheese is the stuff that accumulates between your toes. :wink:

We know chips and crisps- you're the ones who've got it right. BTW, they're Belgian fries, not French.;-)
