Billy Bragg Singing Like a Brit

Some people argue that the phenomenon is more a matter of technique. Billy Bragg, who's normally pretty cool with singing like a Brit, said he can't sing tracks of my tears by Smokey Robinson and the Miracles in a London accent. The cadences are all wrong. So you're listening out for his American accent now. People say I'm the life of the party just because I tell a joke or two. In an American accent, in a London accents, it would be weird.
