I have never understood why pop singers from Great Britain, be it from Glasgow, Stepney, Cardiff or Shoreham, often put on quasi-American accents. All becomes clear, however, when you examine what they are singing more closely. To sing such lyrics with an English accent would expose their utter banality.
