Ain't That A Shame?
Fats Domino Lyrics

Fats Domino's song "Ain't that a shame" is a classic example of the 1950s rhythm and blues. The song is about heartbreak and lost love. The lyrics are about a man who is crying after his partner said goodbye. He is sad, and his tears are like rain. The song's title, "Ain't that a shame," is a sarcastic jab at his former partner, who is the one to blame for his heartbreak. The man acknowledges the pain but still says goodbye since he cannot take it anymore.

The song's tempo and rhythm are upbeat, characterized by a piano, guitar, drums, and a saxophone. The upbeat music contrasts with the sadness of the lyrics, making it a popular dance tune. The song's message and tone make it a great example of the popular 1950s rhythm and blues music, which often dealt with love, heartbreak, and pain.

One interesting fact about the song is that it was originally called "Ain't it a shame." However, the title was changed due to concerns that it might not fit with radio broadcast standards. The song was a massive hit and peaked at number ten on the Billboard charts in 1955. It has since been covered by multiple artists, including Pat Boone, who had a number one hit with his cover.
