Rich Girl by Hall and Oates is a similar song to Ain't We Got Fun and fits under the category of pop.

Relevant Lyrics:

High and dry, out of the rain
It's so easy to hurt others when you can't feel pain
'Cause there's too much to give, 'cause you'd rather live
For the thrill of it all, oh
You're a rich girl, a rich girl
Oh, you're a rich rich girl yeah

The subject, a rich girl, is careless and this helps give the song a tone of carelessness. This song also mocks the fun that people have. The song mocks being rich rather than the poor. The song though does talk about the rich having fun and money. They don't have much else.

Music within the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is used to help emphasize events throughout the novel. Music also helps to set the mood. The lyrics within the song have a deeper meaning within the book, perhaps expressing details that the reader may not have caught. Not only does the music express details but also feelings of the characters, with one example being the love between Gatsby and Daisy. The context of this example will be explained later under Three o'Clock in the Morning. Music plays a pivotal role inside The Great Gatsby, something that many books do not do. Not only that but The Great Gatsby utilizes music well.

Ain't We Got Fun is by Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney and fits into the type of easy listening.

Lyrics:

In the morning,
In the evening,
Ain't we got fun
One thing's sure and nothing's surer
The rich get richer and the poor get- children
In the meantime,
In between time-

The context on which this song is played is while Daisy and Nick are at Gatsby's house for the first time in chapter 5. Gatsby wants Klipspringer to play the piano and Klipspringer plays the piano as requested despite his unwillingness. The song is played because Gatsby pretty much only has his money. He is alone and has no children or friends. The song talks about the rich get richer and this is quite true in Gatsby's case. Gatsby does throw parties and does have fun. He does not; however, have much else. This song helps to emulate a mood of carelessness. This song disregards the future and says what happens will happen.

Three o'Clock in the Morning is by Paul Whiteman and is categorized as jazz.

Lyrics:

Three o'clock in the morning
We danced the whole night through
And daylight soon will be dawning
Just one more waltz with you
I said, the melody it's so entrancing
It seems to be made for us two
I said, I want to just keep right on dancing forever
Dear, dancing here with you

It's three o'clock in the morning
I said, and we danced the whole night through
And the daylight soon will be dawning, yeah
There's one more dance with you

The song plays as Daisy leaves Nick in chapter 6. She had danced with Gatsby. The time was also pretty late so the song name would be applicable. Gatsby was also entranced by Daisy and would have liked to danced with Daisy forever as he wanted to resurrect their past love. This song was placed within the text to help express how much Gatsby longs for Daisy since while Gatsby does do some things for Daisy and wants to revive their relationship, the narrator being Nick helps to prevent us from seeing their relationship forming steadily. The song helps to fill in the gap and aids in setting a romantic mood. The song helps to give a feeling of progress to the relationship between Daisy and Gatsby.

The Sheik of Araby is by Fats Waller and is in the music category of Jazz.

Lyrics:

"I'm the Sheik of Araby,
Your love belongs to me.
At night when you're asleep
Into your tent I'll creep.
The stars that shine above,
Will light our way to love.
You'll rule this land with me;

The song is heard as Jordan Baker and Nick Carraway drive through Central Park and hear little girls singing at night. This song was placed due to Jordan Baker's power in the world. While Nick and Jordan do not have a romantic relationship, the line, "You'll rule this land with me..." emanates power. The song helps to construct a mood of determination.
