I agree with Lee and John's responses. But avoid it if the results looked too contrived. It's better if the double negation seems genuine to the voice of the narrator/character in the song rather than those situations where it's used to quote someone else as that can seem like they're being portrayed as somehow 'lower class' and the narrator is superior to them.
I'll bet that some of our more prolific wordsmiths here could get a whole song out of the double negative theme. Might be fun.
It is all about empathy.....The listener must understand and empathise with the singer......realistic dialect and phrases in common use adds empathy.....whereas sometimes grammatically correct lyrics would actually be alien to most people listening to the song as real people would never speak like that.

Some of us do. My last girlfriend told me I talked like a book.
