You want The Bouy and Strammy to sing or play chimes?
I'm really confused now.
And, if they played chimes, how does that answer the question?

Maybe it's tough to pronounce the syllables in song.....something like, : Your me baaaybay roight now" has probably never been in song.

Because they avoid singing words like:

Well they will probably answer it more reasonably and with more sense than what you just did .... You do realize Jon and Steve have an accent right? You can hear it when they type

C Mooch? This is where you are wrong. I asked both Jon and Steve where there accent is from. They both said "Where I'm from I do not have an accent". C Mooch? It's where you're from that they have an accent.

Daryk, you have to spell it generalization or Mooch won't understand it. He's Um-Air-I-Can.

The Beatles sounded English when they sang.
There are loads of big name British bands who sound British when they sing...Oasis, The Smiths, Blur etc.
For certain styles of music though, an American accent is obligatory...can't imagine Mick Jagger singing in a cockney accent for example.
Joe Jackson always sang in an American accent. Could never work that one out.

In an interesting aside, when I wuz in Germany, the local bands would sing American music faithfully, even with the mis-pronounciations .

Peter Gabriel sounds English.
If you really want a total lack of Transatlantic twang, try Dick Gaughan;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IbdZNvl_vM
or Christy Moore
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-z7M3FZv4E
I love the singing of Dick Gaughan. Like many folk singers, I don't agree with his politics but really feel his music. I remember reading, some time ago, an article which outlined how the gospel singing style originated in Scotland and was brought to America via Scottish plantation owners. The more I listen to traditional Scottish singers like Gaughan the more I believe this...you can hear how the melodic ornamentation they use has influenced today's popular singing styles via gospel and the blues. Here's an example... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t31d0JeBpbo
