I Think I Wanna Marry You

The delicate use of the English language in the comments section of Youtube.com is absolutely fascinating.

"Marry You," a catchy ditty by master word-smith Peter Jean Hernandez (more commonly referred to as the completely related and appropriate nickname Bruno Mars) has ignited a true firestorm of emotion in its obviously mature and well versed listeners.

The deep and meaningful lyrics of this ballad stirred quite a pantheon of memories for YouTube userpatriotscheerleader1. I quote, "this song reminds me of me and my boyfriend..we went out 4 times..yeah 4 times. he just broke with me again on the 7th. this song reminds me of him so much"

User theblogforyou found a parallel between the tune and classic movie masterpiece, 'The Hangover.' After weeks of studying the two and forming a thesis on the similarities, they came up with the following conclusion: "this song is sooo cathing and has aweomse lyrics! it kinda reminds me of hte movie hangover becasue they got married in a little schappel! thump up if agreed!"

User Jennspearl wishes a cursed pox upon the naysayers of her favorite song while offering marriage and personal-taste tips. She says, "smh on the people that dont get the song is simple people he's hanging out with a girl they drinking having fun he is feeling her so he just want to do something stupid like marrying a girl he doesnt know smh read in between the lines smh,,, NOW IF YOU REALLY WANT A WEDDING SONG FROM BRUNO LISTEN TO "THE REST OF MY LIFE" thats the most beatiful song for a wedding i would use that song for my first dance!=) i love bruno he can sing about anything!!!"

BrEeAnNa262 doesn't understand the true nature of this intense and manically confusing song, however her undying devotion to Hernandez keeps her listening. She says, "im so confused,,, marryin her is sumthin dumb to do?? rude much... but still an amazing song as is all his songs!!! XD""


I am more confident than ever that we don't need Rolling Stone to review our music! We have the voice of the masses right at our fingertips in the comment section of Youtube.com.

The success of the schooling system (specifically in grammar and English) shines in these well-written and well-thought out blurbs. The true beauty of the situation is that these comments are forever engraved on the pages of the Internets, their existence never to cease.
