I need a song that represents the story 'The Great Gatsby'?

Question

Does anyone have any ideas?

I was thinking about "Money, Money" by ABBA

But there might be a better one out there.

Thanks (:

Answer 1

well if you say one song...the big picture would have this soundtrack:

Duke Ellington - In a sentimental mood

you will find that jazz really works but it's not a cliche( Fitzgerald ="jazz age") it's something in those dazzling banquets, soft full moon nights, delightfull strangers, soothing secret encounters and lustful moments.

Answer 2

Aqua's "Barbie"

Crazy as it sounds thats what I think of because of the material world of the book reminds me of Barbie.

Answer 3

My first thought is an old song, and I don't know who sang it...'Puttin' on the Ritz.'

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puttin_on_t...

It was written by Irving Berlin, sung by Fred Astaire, for one, but the most important thing you can do to see if you like it is to follow the link above, then go to "External Links" at the end of the article about it and hit the first one, (maybe two of those links will allow you to...) sit and listen to the song.

Luck with your work.
