Hi,
speaking of don't and doesn't, I still hear people (americans) say things like he/she don't...Also, i hear a song with a sentence like: it don't mean a thing....Is that because it's easier to sing without an extra sillable? or whatever reason that is I need to know why. thanks.

The absolute correct version is always doesn't.
However colloquial English speakers will sometimes use don't, depending on their background and the area in which they live. It is considered a rather uneducated way of speaking, but is perfectly normal in some communities.
