I just happened to speak to a well known Indian author and I asked her if she understood English songs (in general), and her immediate response was no. In a recent workshop of English teachers, the British presenter played this song and gave each participant the copy of the lyrics with a few blanks which he had deliberately created, and which they were supposed to fill as he played the song twice. Upon special request the song was played the third time. The result was—well, you can imagine what the result was. Pathetic!

How you spell it I have no idea, but a number of lyric sites do seem to go for "surry" (not that I really trust lyric sites to get spellings correct). Anyway, back to "stoned soul picnic"... as far as I know (which may be not much) this means nothing more than the sum of its parts: "stoned" = under the influence of recreational drugs "soul" = to do with soul music (and/or various other aspects of black American culture) "picnic" = outdoor event or party So, it basically sounds like some sort of outdoor get-together where there's soul music,...http://www.englishforums.com/English/TeacherCheckGrammarThanks/wpnzr/post.htm#745777Sun, 24 May 2009 18:26:10 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:745777alpheccastarsYou have many mistakes, so let's work on it a little at one time.

Less and less, IMHO. It's not like the 50s and 60s where non-American films were decidedly different. More and more "foreign" films are really made for the international (read: American) audience because (a) they can make a lot more money in the US than at home, and (b) if their makers have a success even a small one, by "art" movie standards they can go work in Hollywood and boost their salaries to the ceiling and have lunch with Julia Roberts.
