Theme 373 - Ain't no nothin' to it - Song titles with a contradictory double negative eg Ain't No or Ain't Nothing - Brass Neck - VOTING - closed MIDNIGHT Sunday March 26th

[Val]

Brass provides further information on his topic - "The words don't have to be next to each other but the effect has to be the opposite; if there Ain't No Sunshine then there must be some sunshine. Dawn Penn's No No No for instance isn't contradictory, just repetition for emphasis."

Good luck to TheFoe as many of the "ain't no" or "ain't nothing" titles seem to come from the soul genre.

The next five themes are:

Theme 374 - "Apein' About" - Song titles &/or band names featuring either the word Ape, or any of it's Hominoidean species....except Homo Sapiens. - theDukulele
Theme 375 - Apostrophe Catastrophe - song title has to contain an apostrophe .... simples - Brass Neck
Theme 376 - Doin' Dylan - any Bob Dylan cover - Val
Theme 377 - "Horsin' Around" - Songs about horses, be it in the title or lyrics..your choice. - thedoo doo doo Duke
Theme 378 - The The - Songs titles beginning with "The" by bands/artists that officially begin with the word "The" - Helen

I ain't got nothin' either. Not no how! Everything I would have thought of has already been taken. I will say that for the Rufus and Chaka Khan track, I always think of changing the lyrics to:
Ain't no body in my freezer.

Well it's a three-way tie for first place this week. Twelve votes cast for McFadden & Whitehead (Val), Rufus & Chaka Khan (Tim) and Bobby Bland (KJS) but with 2 lots of 5 votes, I think KJS wins the ultimate accolade. I'm not going to split the other two. Honourable mentions to the other two tracks that made it into double figures - Johnny Cash (Sussex) with 11 votes (Foe can't add) and Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell (Jemma) with 10 votes. Well done everyone!
