Christine McVie Singles Project

Cool project! Was You Make Loving Fun a single?

Also, I know this is the English teacher in me, and you are just using the title that was used when the CD came out, but is anyone else interested in finally writing Sky's the Limit? Sorry for being so trivial, but it bugs me that no one at the record company caught that before the CD went to print.

And here's to hoping that at some point we will get some more singles from Christine!

I don't think it's a grammatical mistake as much as it was "artistic license." From what I can recall, the phrase "sky's the limit" or "skies the limit" is never actually stated anywhere in the song. The subject and the noun are always clearly enunciated- "The sky is the limit now." As such, I think the song title is supposed to be more descriptive than an actual outtake of the lyric. Perhaps a dash would help to make it clearer, e.g., "Skies - The Limit," in the same vein as "Star Trek - The Next Generation."

could the title have been sort of a "pun"?

Somewhere in the song she does say "The sky is the limit now". I'm pretty sure it's a mistake. But anyway, not a biggie. Just me being anal.
