This genre of music was started by African Americans but loved by all races. Jazz promoted illegal drinking during the prohibition age. It also created new types of dances such as the Charleston (see video below). As Jazz progressed women also began to modernize. Women that dressed fancy and had modernized morals were called Flappers. These women appear at Gatsby's party's. Jazz supported prohibition and was the key element to Gatsby.

"The Shreik of Araby" by Django Reinhardt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6jwvS0mHwo

"I'm the Sheik of Araby. Your love belongs to me. At night when you're asleep. Into your tent I'll creep-"

This song played during the scene when Jordan and Nick were discussing Gatsby plan with Daisy and how they have known each other for years. The lyrics taken from this song explains Gatsby's plans for his future with Daisy. When the song says "into your tent I'll creep". It explains why Gatsby moved in right across from her and how he is always there. The lyric "Your love belongs to me." shows how possessive Gatsby is.

2)
"The Love Nest" by John Steel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgm6xrdLiqg

"In the morning, In the evening, Ain't we got fun"

This song takes place when Gatsby had finished the tour and get the piano player to play something for Daisy. The meaning of this song is to symbolize daisy's choices of choosing a steady man or a passionate man.

3)
"Ain't We Got Fun"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1AcnI0B2-o

"One thing's sure and nothing's surer The rich get Richer and the Poor get-children. In the meantime, In between time"

These lyrics show the materialistic elements in the film. "The rich get richer" explains that Gatsby is winning over daisy and getting "richer" while Tom is loosing her and they have a kid together. This should could also show Daisy's money seeking desires because she first turned down Gatsby because he had no money, and now that he does she finally considers him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXBNlApwh0c

"Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall"

Most Jazz songs relate closely to Gatsby because it seemed like he was the only one that felt real love. He missed Daisy most of all and this modern song easily relates to Jay Gatsby.

2) "straighten up and fly right" by Dianna Crawl
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvq7dQlBj6g

"The buzzard told the monkey, "You're choking me
Release your hold and I'll set you free"
The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
"Your story's touching, but is sounds like a lie"

These lyrics can represent both Daisy and Gatsby's relationship. Gatsby refuses to let her go and Tom gives no remorse and lies to her all the time. It shows the love triangle as Jazz usually speaks about love and people.

3) "Somewhere over the Rainbow" by Isreal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bFr2SWP1I

"Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
And the dreams that you dream of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly
And the dreams that you dream of, dreams really do come true"

Gatsby relates to this song most. His whole life he was living a dream that him and Daisy would end up together. Rainbows will never really happen and it will always be like that with Daisy. ]]> 2018-04-24 05:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/allygirlmoore/b08b0dgnzr7w/wish/254688264 Fitzgerald allygirlmoore https://padlet.com/allygirlmoore/b08b0dgnzr7w/wish/255508539 Fitzgerald chose songs that represented the Jazz age and Gatsby's relationship with Daisy. The first one that appears shows Gatsby as mysterious and creepy. throughout the story the songs change as the scene changes the song matches. It shows another element of text that nick does not explain but the songs do. ]]> 2018-04-26 04:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/allygirlmoore/b08b0dgnzr7w/wish/255508539
