"Ain't Misbehavin" by Fats Waller- I think this song would suit the book because it's talking about someone waiting for a woman to come so they can fall in love forever. The song could be about Gatsby waiting for Daisy. He would do anything and wait forever just to be with her.
"Blue Skies" by Irving Berlin- This song's meaning is about being happy. At first, the song talks about being gloomy with cloudy skies, then good luck came and the person became very happy. This relates to Gatsby because he got a lot of "good luck" by bootlegging and earned enough money to obtain a rich house to impress Daisy. He also did win Daisy over for a period of time, but it didn't last too long. Gatsby had "blue skies" for some time in the book.
"Ain't We Got Fun?" by Richard A. Whiting- This song is talking about being careless and only having fun. In the story, Gatsby had many parties that went late into the night. He didn't really care about anything else while they were going on, except Daisy of course. All he wanted was to have fun.
Good songs
