Funny thing about this song is that when you look for the lyric, almost every site, if not all, will say: "Money in my pocket, but I just can'T get no love". A mistake.
Saying you "can'T get NO love" means you cán get it. That is awkward, because the whole point is that the singer can not get love, only money. ;)
@MichiWerbi ....You are correct! The lyric is "money in my pocket but I just CAN'T get no love." That is also the way the way it's printed in the "Home" CD, where the song is from. Saying "can get no love" is grammatically incorrect and would negate the point the singer is making.
This song always reminds me of Donkey Kong Country 3, especially the first part.

it's a Jamaican song. It's slang...double negation can be found in reggae, rock and folk alike.

@wyannick888 isn`t a misstake!! is a normal grammatical form in some regions (for example of US) and it is meant as an affirmation of negation..
