DOUBLE NEGATIVES
Double negatives are when two negative words are used in one sentence. 'Two negatives make a positive' used to be the old saying.
Double negatives are poor grammar, but can be found often in song lyrics.

- There is no way that you can do nothing about this.
- This flower is not uncommon.
- I can't get no satisfaction .......... The Rolling Stones.
- Ain't no mountain high enough ... Marvin Gaye.
