Answer 2

The song "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" is notable because it gave a motto ("The Swing Era") to the 1930s and to jazz music in general

In 1932, Duke Ellington wrote a song, "It Don't Mean a Thing" (Irving Mills wrote the lyrics)

It don't mean a thing...
It don't mean a thing, if you ain't got that swing
Doo wa doo wa.... rab dab dada da
It don't mean a thing, all you gotta do is sing
Doo wa doo wa...

Ella Fitzgerald - It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)
This is lyrics from www.lyrics007.com
What good is melody, what good is music
If it ain't possessin' 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 diff'rence if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
