Singh Song!
  1. language
    1. sound
      1. Nagra uses phonetic spellings in places to represent 'Punglish' - English spoken in a Punjabi accent. This increases the number of 'd' and 'v' sounds in the song, and creates an alliterative, rhythmic effect
        1. Lots of rhyme, expected in song form. It doesn’t follow a regular pattern, in the same way that the structure is irregular. It is usually end rhyme, and the 'ee' sound of "chapatti", "chutney" and "Punjabi" tends to dominate. gives swing to the poem and speeds up the metre. near the end, rhyme disappears, slowing down the metre appropriate to initimatefeeling of the most affectionate section of the poem.

                        1. Both poems use non-standard spelling to suggest an accent for the voice of the narrator.

                                  1. There's a lot of humour in both poems, but in the end Singh Song! is joyful, whereas the Brendon Gallagher has a sad ending.
