The Story
Welcome to Pronouns: The Musical.
Some may ask, “Pronouns?”, but we at A Frank Angle say, “Why not pronouns!”
A subset of nouns, pronouns serve as a substitute for nouns and noun phrases. These bits of linguistics and grammar are versatile and can almost refer to anything.
Although pronouns can be personal, objective, possessive, indefinite, relative, intensive, demonstrative, interrogative, reflexive, and reciprocal, this musical extravaganza focuses on selected pronouns.

Guidelines
Songs must have two or more different pronouns (from this musical) in the title
Cautions
- No duplicates songs regardless of artists
- Foreign language equivalents unacceptable
- Contractions are acceptable at the discretion of The Producer
Production Note
- To prevent browsers crashing from loading too many videos, please
- Include the song title and artist in your text, and
- Paste the URL as part of your last line (not a new line). The latter will provide a link, thus not embed the actual video … but I don’t mind unembedding, so apologies are not necessary.
Announcement
Wow! Encores don’t happen very often, and this may be an aFa first. Before introducing the next act, remember the following points about the theme about the song titles: a) two or more pronouns, b) pronouns must be different, and c) acceptable pronouns must be one of the 12 on the graphic.
Ladies and gentlemen, right here on this stage and for your enjoyment, with I’m Happy Just to Dance With You – it’s The Beatles!
Lovely choice for your encore, Frank….
I shall chose the Avett Brothers with “I And Love and You”…. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0eSpAgqrWo

Well done – an encore! What a lot of fun this musical was.
I’m heading in with a local boy and a song from back when the world was young and girls all had big hair and big shoulders and the guys sported mullets (shudder!) It’s Dave Dobbyn with ‘Love You Like I Should’ https://youtu.be/V29FyZt3XVs

Hi everyone! After a long long time, I’m early here! 😉 So My first one is a 3 pronoun song!!! Byther Smith: ”Tell Me How You Like It” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOO0BK7Hbk [only one too!] and second one, the first that came to mind: Pink Floyd: “Us and Them” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDbeqj-1XOo Hooray to The Beatles!!!!

Marina,
Welcome back. You’ve been missed here. I love classics as Pink Floyd, plus love me some blues. Plus, there is at least two other blues fans that I hope will listen to Mr. Smith. On the other hand, I can also tell you are rusty, so only one song in the opening round of songs so others have a chance. Thanks.

Here’s a scratchy sounding, ‘It’s near the end of the 3rd set and the cats in the band have been hittin’ the sauce pretty good that night,’ recording by Duke Ellington of his “Do Nothing till You Hear from Me.” It originated as a 1940 instrumental designed to highlight the playing of Ellington’s lead trumpeter, Cootie Williams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eJxrNleZiI

Why not? “I’ve” is a contraction of “I have” … and you – two pronouns…. 😉
