fuck 7 crooked i takes all seven spots

whoever the hell Crooked I is, it's only one person

Aimee Mann. No doubt about that.

7: It stands for seven, a number greater than one. Example:
* * * * * * * That's 7 (seven) stars.
1: It stands for one. It's less than seven. * That's 1 (one) star.

Notice the difference? Now, let's re-read the title of the thread: "Top 7 Lyricist of All Time" Notice how it's 7 (seven) and not 1 (one). Understand now?

Ding ding! Genius alert!

Let’s all thank Sam the Egg for compiling a complete list of seven hackneyed run-of-the-mill dipshits (excluding a couple). Congratulations Mr. Eggspert: you can count!

Yes I understand that the thread title asks for seven of them – a Cocker Spaniel with a sucking chest wound could have devised as much. I also understand that the author of the thread failed to use the plural form of the word lyricist when requesting that we indicate seven of them. Furthermore, we are asked to list seven of the “top” lyricists. The problem here is that “top” is not a quantitative word – that is to say, someone or something that occupies the position of top does not do so in varying degrees. By this “list seven of the top” logic it would be reasonable to conclude that anybody who is not the worst could be considered one of the “top” lyricists of all time, and I don’t go for that shit. If someone is the best, they cannot be “one of the best,” they are, quite simply, THE best.

And so it is not the case that anyone has failed to understand the objective of the original question, but that the question itself is, in fact, a flawed one, and so I have chosen to answer it in a reasonable manner.

Next time spare us the pointless attempt at self-important clarification. Nobody cares.

You're still not answering the question. The question asks for seven. If you're not going to answer it right, then don't bother answering it at all. Giving one, or five, when they ask for seven makes you look like an idiot who can't count

In no particular order...
