Sorry if it's been said but can we stop calling "Laydown" Lay it down"?

confused

It shouldn't bother me but it does. Must be the humidity.

At least there is some reasoning behind the mistake. I'm still astonished people come on here and say that "Anna Stasia," is a song by Prince, and others say his name is Prince Roger Nelson.

of course...it is "Anna Stesia" by Prince Rogers Nelson.

So which is it, Laydown or Lay it Down?

Personally I prefer Lay it Down. Sounds better that way to me.

same for people pronouncing "Anna Stesia" as "Anna Stasia" ... I mean, he pronounces it correctly for you right there in the song, and when you say it with a hard "a" sound, it ruins the play on words.

And I prefer "When doves feel melancholy but can be cheered up with a cuddle" but It's not a vote, the song is called Laydown. There is no song called lay it down.

For the record: It's definitely titled "Laydown". Have a look on the back on the 20Ten CD cover. Underneath the tracklist there are a whole lot of faint squiggly lines. Look even closer and you'll see it spells out "Laydown"
