I wouldn't worry about it. 
If you really want nightmares, try listening to the words of "Live 
and let die", the theme song to the James Bond film. It contains a 
real grammatical car crash. I can't help wincing every time I hear 
it. Truly awful. Horrid. Ugh.
  "... The world in which we live in ..."
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Presumably written by Paul McCartney. Ex-Beatles. Pro songwriter. 
Sold lots of records. Seemed to get away with it without being 
lynched (somehow). 
 
I think there was something similarly bad in one of The Who's hit 
singles, but I seem to have blotted it out of my memory.
