Lyrics and titles inherently do not contain grammatical errors in the first place because they are written for music and passion, not for literary prose.

Again and again, we get it, you look down on English dialects that have negative concord.

Can you find some Spanish titles that should use negative concord but fail to, to mix it up a little?

"who do you love" -- should be "WHOM do you love" :)

You seem to be under the mistaken assumption that "no" means none. In this context "no" means "any." I have no idea what your objection to Kleenex's "Ain't You" is. "Ain't" could mean "is not", which works just fine here and in the Bill Withers title.

Tl;dr. Anything about Anthony Braxton?

Don't forget Tony Orlando's "He Don't Love You".

Conan Mockasin's "I'm the man, that will find you" aught to be on the list:

Good songs. But what about "Ain't No Woman (Like the One I Got)"? Not the best tune by the Four Tops, but still pretty good and a fine example of poetic license when it comes to song writing.

Please wait...
