She has a British accent.What she's really saying is:>"This here's, the happy house"and not>This is, the happy houseRight?
no, she's singing "This is the happy house"it wouldn't change the meaning anyway, but its definitely "is"
>>130546644Yeah it would, she would be saying it like a hick but just intonating like the normal way of saying it on accident.
>>130546680I disagree. "this here" is not particularly associated with rural accents or vocabularies. all you can really say about its connotations is that its generally more common in the south than the north of England and wouldn't be used in formal speech or by the upper class, but that’s about it. as for meaning, the "here" just adds a little more emphasis to "this"
>>130546776In the U.S. it is, and the band name is a reference to a tribe on land in the midwest
>>130546680>on accidentThis is /mu/'s resident grammar genius, is it?
>>130545988too bad they stopped really being a rock band after album one and turned into corny theater pastiche pop
>>130547046Sorry, I meant 'happenstancially'
>>130548157*album fourAnd even then they are still pretty good in their "gay 80's music" era, just not nearly as consistent as before but there's some really good shit in there.
>>130548157The Kinks were the reverse, they re-rocked and un-theater pop-ped themselves in the late 70s.
>>130545988https://youtu.be/7FNaxLqfWqo?is=8f1Gi0E662v9crYeShe very clearly says "is" here. Not that it even matters because the meaning is the same, you could sing it either way and nobody would notice or care.
>>130549403their actual decline began after Tinderbox imo
>>130549586>Tinderboxtf
>>130549586I dunno I felt like Hyæna was mid as fuck aside from one or two song (Dear Prudence cover sucks ass), and Kiss In The Dreamhouse has high highs but also some stinkers. Tinderbox is amazing stuff though, great album.
>>130549638Imagine being a Tinderbox hater
"This here's the Happy House" is something an American would say. British people would say "this is".
