Playlist for July 17, 2011 from 12:00AM - 3:00AM

Current New Orleans Time: Sat, 6:16am

Playlist Date & Time: 7/17/2011 12:00AM - 3:00AM

Program: Blues in the Night with Jamie Dell'Apa

"Ain't" Ain't A Lyric Because

"Ain't" Ain't in the Dictionary

 


Lyrics are the poetry of music.  You would think every carefully selected word would at least pass the grade school test of "ain't ain't a word."  You would be wrong.  It seems like "ain't" is almost as popular a lyric as "love."  Shocking news!  Song writers weren't paying attention in English class.  

 

Tonight a bucket-full of songs with "ain't' in the lyrics.  In fact, there are so many songs that we ain't playing any "ain't" song that's not done by a New Orleans musician.  Ain't it the Truth, Ain't it a Shame, Ain't No Sunshine, Ain't That Peculiar.  My spell checker's gonna have a work out.

If you don't want me no more 
Why not you tell me so 
Oohh why not you tell me so 
If you don't want me 
Down the road I shall go 
It ain't what you do it's the way that you do it 
Ain't what you eat it's the way that you chew it 
Oohh 
Oohh 
Oohh 
Baby ain't it good 

It's been a long time 
Since I held you in my arms 
Oohh since I held you in my arms
