The Double Negative Mix

I was catching up on a great Christmas song from Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings -- Ain't No Chimneys (In the Ghetto) -- when I started thinking about how many classic soul and hip-hop songs (oh, and Leonard Cohen) bring the double negative. Here's a few I hope you will not dislike.

Ain't No Chimneys  -- Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
Ain't No Cure for Love -- Leonard Cohen
Ain't No Love Lost -- Curtis Mayfield
Ain't No Mountain High Enough -- Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
Ain't No Sunshine -- Bill Withers
Ain't No Way -- Aretha Franklin
Girls Ain't Nothing But Trouble -- DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince
It Ain't No Use -- The Meters
Ain't No Future In Yo' Frontin' -- MC Breed & DFC
Ain't Got No -- Nina Simone
I Ain't No Joke -- Eric B. & Rakim
Ain't No Fun -- Kurupt, Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg & Warren G
Ain't No Nigga -- Jay-Z
Ain't No Thang -- Outkast
Ain't No Half Steppin -- Big Daddy Kane
It Ain't No Use -- Stevie Wonder
Ain't No Need to Worry -- The Winans with Anita Baker
Ain't No Woman (like The One I've Got) -- The Four Tops
Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing -- Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

Why Parks & Rec is like the late '90s Bulls

Who's the funniest person to work with on the show?

I could never pick a funniest person on our show, because they all make me laugh. The whole team is tight, it's like the late 90's Bulls. 

Mike Schur and Greg Daniels - Phil Jackson. Our executive producers that are in charge of the show and lead us. 

Amy and Rashida - MJ and Pippen. 

Ron Swanson - Rodman. The wild man. You don't know what Swanson has up his sleeve (probably some cured pork products and maybe some deviled eggs.)

Andy Dwyer - Toni Kucoc. The sixth man who would run shit on any other team and we are insanely lucky to have as a sixth man.

April - Steve Kerr. When they put April in, its like Kerr sinking 3's - money every time.

Jerry and Donna - Wennington and Buechler . Ready to come in from the bench and kill it any time.

Me - Luc Longley. Fuck, I didn't think this analogy through. I don't wanna be Luc Longley. Shit, no offense to Luc if he's reading.
