[General] Phrase in a song

[Who_is_999masa]

Hi guys.
I'm making a party song, and I want to use this phrase in it "I'm the one at a party, doing ~ ", but I'm wondering if it is natural to use this phrase in a party song or is it weird?

What is a "party song"?

 

[jutfrank]

To be honest, yes, it is weird.

What's the point of what you're trying to do?

Hi emsr2d2,

Do you not remember this little ditty from the great Mr Russ Abbot?:

Incidentally, we share the same birthday (for what it's worth) - end of claim to fame boast!

Hi jutfrank,

Perhaps it might be easier if the OP were able and willing to upload the full set of lyrics.

Cheers.

Rover_KE,

I have already stated that I am a 'mature student' of 3 subjects (English being included in the list). Is this not suffice?

Sorry, monsterjazzlicks—you get corrected around here! Even native speakers. No offence.

(suffice is a verb, not an adjective.)

It's OK, I am here to learn! I am dyslexic though and so, admittedly, it often takes me quite a few attempts to fully grasp something new.

It would make my day if you'd graciously add 'Not a teacher' to your signature line, and delight the many other members who've willingly done the same.

"...make my day..."

Cue for a Clint Eastwood film!

Thank you, MJL. I'll sleep better tonight.

Knowing that you will be seeping well will enable me to do so! In fact such confirmation has made my day. :-D

Actually I am a teacher!, albeit of 'music '. :-o
