duke ellington'in 1931'de besteledigi, irving mills'in sozlerini yazdigi, coverlanma bakimindan caz dunyasinin yesterday'i gibi olan, kipir kipir bir sarki. sozleri:
what good is melody?
what good is music?
if it ain't possessing something sweet
it ain't the melody, it ain't the music
there's something else that makes the tune complete
it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
it don't mean a thing all you got to do is sing
it makes no difference
if it's sweet or hot
just give that rhythm
everything you've got
it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
