We've all experienced it: a catchy new song that we really like, and we're sure that we know all the lyrics. Only when we look up the lyrics, we see that actually we were totally wrong about some lines! Because the lyrics of songs are usually very flowing, they are often very good examples of how connected speech can cause confusion.
Listen to this song from No Doubt and see what features of connected speech you can identify.
Do you know of any other good examples of songs which feature elision, assimilation and/or linking? If you do, share it with us in a comment below.
