Unfortunately, popular culture often provides linguistic irregularities that seem to become "normal". I'm thinking of Elvis' song from 1969 "I'm All Shook Up".

Because "shook" is simple past and "shaken" is the past participle.
The perfect tenses (with the helping verb "have") use the past participle.

eg.

go, went, gone

He goes to school.
He went to school today. (Not: He gone to school.)
Has he gone to school tod
