"Don' chew remembuh you tole me you loved me bay-beh..."

Welcome to my suburban NYC accent, now mostly gone after 20 years in Texas.

ah,, Scott, Bruce Springsteen is from North Jersey (Northern New Jersey - closer to NYC). Anyway "Da' Bruce", to my ears, has kind of a geographically vague trucker accent going on...hehehhe.

There is a show on a cable station here (VH1) that "busts" people singing in their cars along to the radio; I now fear becoming victim to said show and scaring the world with my automobile-bound renditions of "Wheel in The Sky" by Journey, "Superstar" by The Carpenters, or "Hey Carie Ann" by the Hollies. And there are so many more...more genres, more botched singalongs...;)

Hey, try being South African: the accent is always portrayed as thuggish and ignorant. Anyway, Bruce Springsteen had a charming accent on 'Born in the USA'. Go on, I know you can sing!
I'm sure you have a beautiful voice.
