How A and R Sounds Combine, and the Hair Poem | #062

The Long A and the R sounds combine, and are pronounced clearer in the American accent than in other languages. Listen on in to get a feel for just how you can stretch out the A vowel before R's, and get a distinct American sound.

Listen for the Long A and R sounds in the following sentences to practice along:
I can barely see if they’re there. 
Losing hair is a very scary affair.
January isn’t as bad as February.
They very rarely do extraordinary things.

Hair Poem (George Carlin)

I'm aware some stare at my hair. 
In fact, to be fair, 
Some really despair of my hair. 
But I don't care, 
Cause they're not aware, 
Nor are they debonair. 
In fact, they're just square. 

They see hair down to there, 
Say, "Beware" and go off on a tear! 
I say, "No fair!" 
A head that's bare is really nowhere. 
So be like a bear, be fair with your hair! 
Show it you care. 
Wear it to there. 
Or to there. 
Or to there, if you dare! 

My wife bought some hair at a fair, to use as a spare. 
Did I care? 
Au contraire! 
Spare hair is fair! 

In fact, hair can be rare. 
Fred Astaire got no hair, 
Nor does a chair, 
Nor a chocolate eclair, 
And where is the hair on a pear? 
Nowhere, mon frere! 

So now that I've shared this affair of the hair, 
I'm going to repair to my lair and use Nair, do you care?
