Why did you put in those comments? I was going to add this video to my favorites, but because of those uneeded comments and you were late, now I'm not.

Making grammar fun? We'll have none of that! A rap on the knuckles and some conjugation drills for you!

Punctuation error or not, I love it and will share it with the class I am currently teaching at Wayne. I am posting it to my blog as well. Thanks for making linguistics entertaining.

If you go with the latter sentence division, you then give Mr. Manilow credit for creating one less unforgivable sentence fragment (though it doesn't make up for the host of others), AND this division provides an image of the Copa setting that includes BOTH main characters, not just Tony, which is helpful to the plot development. Though of course, I could be wrong.

I have to say, humbly, that I think there's a punctuation error in this otherwise erudite analysis. I don't think it's "And while she tried to be a star Tony always tended bar across the crowded floor. They worked from 8 til 4." Which is what you've displayed. I think it's "And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar. Across the crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4." (Go to next comment...)

This could indeed be true. Have to ponder it ...

Just looked at several lyrics pages for Copa -- all have the phrases divided so that "Across a crowded floor, they worked from 8 til 4" is on one line. On another note: these lyric sheets state that the background singers are, at one point, singing "talkin' Havana...have a banana..."
HAVE A BANANA?!?!?
