"Young" & "Old" Songs

Here's something new – well, not really. It's another "Opposites" music post. But I've never done these particular opposites before, so there ya go. Sorry, One Direction fans – you won't find the "Live While We're Young" video here. Mainly because the song, despite the fact that it has more than 250 million views on YouTube, is fairly horrible. In this blogger's opinion, at least. Hopefully you'll enjoy the good songs that are collected here, though.  ~  JH

Songs With "Ain't" In The Title

Technically speaking, "ain't" may be improper English, but it just so happens to be a word contained within the titles of some of the greatest popular songs ever written, several of which are represented here. My personal favorites among these are #5 and #8. Which ones do you like best? (This doesn't *have to* be a rhetorical question.)  ~  JH
