Dead and buried?[edit]
six feet down being dead and buried? —Preceding unsigned comment added by C&G BM (talk • contribs) 14:33, December 27, 2005
- ^ Obviously. Nobody can snap his fingers, an important possession has been thrown away, an the song has a general air of despair. A. Gravestone, 19XX-20XX 13:23, May 16, 2006
Question[edit]
Anyone have an idea as to the meaning of the titular phrase? The rest of the song obviously deals with death, as noted above, but the statement "swing is a word" has me stumped. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.243.157.247 (talk) 21:14, November 6, 2007
- Well, I tried looking at the history of the word swing like one of those people who make ridiculously indepth interpretations, and all I came up with was that it came from an old English word that meant to beat, so that's something. Definitely not what They was thinking though. --DoubleDenial (talk) 16:38, 29 September 2018 (EDT)
“Jazz isn’t dead, it just smells funny”[edit]
Snap my fingers / cat’s pajamas / Nobody snaps / trends all garbage now / It don’t mean a thing / there ain’t no swing / Call 387-6962 / for more information / On what is / and is not dead / What is / and is definitely not jazz / Some whispers “swing, baby” / Inside the old pine box
