I am afraid saying "just doesn't sound right" is not a good enough reason to present your case. The sentence must conform to the rules of the english grammar. There are times the subject and the verb are flipped to confuse users.

Let me ask you a question:

"There is a young man and an older woman at the bus stop."

Is this grammatically correct or wrong ?

but you have the explanation given above. judging by the rule, it's perfectly ok
