Song titles/lyrics with really bad double negatives.

[Dave7]

Heard a comment on radio this morning that got me thinking on this.
2 classic examples are................
a) I can't get no satisfaction (Rolling Stones)
b) We don't need no education (Floyd)

Try to suggest some without the aid of Google if possible.

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone - Bill Withers

 

[Joey Shabadoo]

Ain't no mountain high enough

 

[Bodhbh]

Bit obscure, but first one to come into my head: She Ain't No Use To Me - The Ugly Ducklings.

Can see a theme here.

That's certainly my first reaction to poetry - grammar check.

Yeah, bit grumpy, sorry, but these are good songs. Would we still be singing along to "A cannot get any satisfaction"? Or, "I am never satisfied, yeah yeah"?

 

[Dave7]

Ain't no mountain high enough

That's good for several reasons.
It is a double negative but also......... there obviously is a mountain high enough.

. Would we still be singing along to "A cannot get any satisfaction"?

Why did I hear that in a Geordie accent?

Fully agree........they are bril songs, especially the Rolling Stones (my all time favourite group). This is just a light hearted thread on double negatives.

That's the first time I done a convincing Geordie accent.

JJ Cale's I'll Be There is absolutely stuffed with them.......




There ain't no chains strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me
Never have seen a river that's too wide
There ain't no jail tight enough to lock me

Ain't no man big enough to stop me
I'll be there if you ever want me by your side
There ain't no rope stout enough to bind me
Look for me, honey, you will find me

Any old time, get ready with your charm
I'll be there ready and a-waiting
There won't be any hesitating
I'll be there if you ever want me in your arms

Love me, if you're ever going to love me
Never have seen a road too rough to ride
There ain't no chain strong enough to hold me
Ain't no breeze big enough to slow me

I'll be there if you ever want me by your side

I'll raise you all to a tredecuple (yes I had to Google it) negative. Not a title granted but 2 unlimited, no limits

No no no no no no no no no no no no there's no limit.

That's the first time I done a convincing Geordie accent.
