"Ain't" can be used with any subject in incorrect English, actually. I
don't know "Ain't Misbehavin'", but the subject of the song "Ain't
Superstitious" is "I", frex. That does mean, though, that if you just say
"ain't" without a subject, it will probably be understood to be "whatever
it is we're talking about right now ain't _____".
