| Portugal. The Man – Modern Jesus Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
"We don't need no modern Jesus = We need modern Jesus" Technically correct but colloquially flawed. "don't need no" in common usage resolves into "don't need". There's was a popular meme earlier this year of a woman saying "Ain't nobody got time for that!" which is similar. "ain't nobody", if you can get past the use of "ain't", should result in a double negative that means "everyone", but colloquially it doesn't . . . it is intended to mean "Nobody has time for that." Double and triple negatives in common language use can't really be filtered through strict grammar rules, that's rarely the intent. |
