Does it annoy you when songs are not scientifically accurate?

Question

The Katie Melua song, "Nine Million Bicycles"

We are 12 billion light-years from the edge,
That's a guess — no-one can ever say it's true,
But I know that I will always be with you

should be...


We are 13.7 billion light-years from the edge of the observable universe,
that's a good estimate with well-defined error bars,
Scientists say it's true, but acknowledge that it may be refined,
and with the available information, I predict that I will always be with you .

And Faith Hills, This kiss;

It' s the way you love me
It's a feeling like this
It's centrifugal motion
It's perpetual bliss
It's that pivotal moment
It's (ah) impossible
This kiss, this kiss

when there is no such thing as Centrifugal Motion.

And Rufus wainwright 'The Brightest of the Planets Is Mars'
FOOL!!! it's VENUS!!!

Answer 1

poetic license is the common excuse.
but it's no big deal with me.
what annoys me is when i hear a song with grammatical errors

Answer 2

Leviticus 14:40 9-fifty 3 the cleansing of a house comprises murdering a chicken and sprinkling it somewhat is blood approximately. Leviticus 11:6 the bible tells of the hare chewing cud! which they're bodily incapable of if i'm no longer incorrect.... Noah's ark. 2 persons of each and every species.... be attentive to what inbreeding is? be attentive to what it does to a gene pool? ohh, and consider Adam and Eve that they had 2 sons And from those 4 human beings, 3 adult males and a million woman got here all people. ohh and god became stable adequate to kill Jehoram off slowly and painfully by way of inflicting his bowels to drop out, and took away all his sons yet one yet it somewhat is wonderful, he can do this, in spite of the undeniable fact that Chronicles 21:20 "Thirty and 2 years previous became he while he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem 8 years, and departed without being needed..." Chronicles 22:a million-2 "And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead...." "40 and 2 years previous became Ahaziah while he began to reign...." So, king dies at 40, his youngest son is made style in his place, on the age of 40 two..... So the son became older than the daddy... technological know-how! the bible looks to have some hereditary errors

Answer 3

Well in the second line of the first song it says it's a guess... which is why it doesn't say the more accurate 13.7 billion. In Faith Hill's song centrifugal motion means constant motion in a circle. Haven't you ever heard of a centrifuge? Mars is the brightest planet as it is closet to the sun. Duh!

Answer 4

YOu're basing your examination of a single person's observations upon a scientists actual definitions. One cannot change art to be more like science, just as one cannot change science to be more like art.
