Fitzgerald utilizes music to create playful, romantic  and many other types of moods that create the atmosphere in his book.

Your love belongs to me.
At night when you're asleep
Into your tent I'll creep" 
This song is mentioned when Nick and Jordan are talking about Daisy and Gatsby and Jordan tells Nick that Gatsby bought that house to be close to Daisy. Everything suddenly makes sense to Nick after finding out Gatsby's intentions from the beginning. Fitzgerald uses this song to demonstrate Gatsby's obsession with Daisy and how far he will go to have her love.]]> 2018-04-23 15:46:45 UTC https://padlet.com/britany_46847/739syakdu598/wish/254463498 britany_46847 https://padlet.com/britany_46847/739syakdu598/wish/254464286 "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 chidren.
In the meantime, 
In between time-"
This song is being played on the piano when Daisy comes to Gatsby's house for the first time. Fitzgerald uses this song to create a playful, curious mood in the book.

That melody so entrancing
Seems to be made for us two
I could just keep on dancing forever dear with you"
This song is mentioned on page 108 in the book during one of Gatsby's parties as Daisy was saying goodbye to Nick. Nick then mentions the song when he's wondering about what Daisy thinks of Gatsby's party and what called her attention: "What was it up there in the song that seemed to be calling her back inside?". Fitzgerald uses this song in the background to create an romantic mood demonstrating Gatsby's feelings towards Daisy ]]> 2018-04-28 22:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/britany_46847/739syakdu598/wish/256256992 britany_46847 https://padlet.com/britany_46847/739syakdu598/wish/256276323 "But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door"
This song relates to "The Sheik of Araby" because it demonstrates a man's obsession and how far he would go for the woman he loves. This song would create the same mood with a different type of musical twist. ]]> 2018-04-29 06:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/britany_46847/739syakdu598/wish/256276323 britany_46847 https://padlet.com/britany_46847/739syakdu598/wish/256276527 "Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song"
This song can relate to "Three O'Clock in the morning" by Paul Whiteman because the lyrics are similar and create a romantic atmosphere. The song Fitzgerald originally used talked about how he wanted one more waltz just like Ed Sheeran is talking about dancing all night.]]> 2018-04-29 06:43:54 UTC https://padlet.com/britany_46847/739syakdu598/wish/256276527 britany_46847 https://padlet.com/britany_46847/739syakdu598/wish/256277073 "And I am only being honest with you, I
I get lonely and make mistakes from time to time
So no man call ya, bibia be ye ye
Bibia be ye ye, ye ye ye ye
Bibia be ye ye"
 This song can relate to "Ain't We Got fun" by Schenck because it has the same playful, careless tune and lyrics to it. This song would convey the same mood as the original song that Fitzgerald chose. ]]> 2018-04-29 06:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/britany_46847/739syakdu598/wish/256277073
