Ain't That a Shame Essays

While Pat Boone’s cover of “Ain’t That a Shame” (1955), originally performed by Fats Domino, has many similarities to the original, there are a few differences that alter the song and arguably its meaning.

Another example of Byron being a loving brother is, “‘Leave the little clown alone,’ Byron said. ‘It’s a crying shame, takin’ him around like a circus freak.’” (Curtis 25).
