That Don't Impress Me Much

[FATE91]

Hello. Maybe it's a stupid question, but why SHANIA TWAIN sings "that DON'T impress me much"? Shouldn't it be "doesn't"??

Yes, it is incorrect.

That's just part of the song's charm. Many songs use incorrect grammar.

Rule #1 is that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Rule #2 is that song writers are not confined by the normal rules of grammar. Yes, it should be "doesn't".

thanks for the replies and well, for the correction of the question itself
but you forgot then to remove "s" from "sing"
