Topic: Why are the lyrics in jazz songs just gibberish?

Meta started this discussion 1 month ago #136,772

It's all just like skibbidydowapadopdopskaddlywoopadoop and its not even real words and also it has no rhythm or harmony.

I don't know why people like it.

I've never understood people who hyper focus on lyrics in music. If you want words, read poetry. The sound is first and foremost in music.

they gotta expend extra energy to fully lift their inbred boot lips to make proper english sounds, and they just dont feel the need to do this when not addressing theys massa

It's seen as an instrument also. Like a jazz saxophone. So a lot of the jibberish is just improvisation. In Louis Armstrong's day it was called scat singing. That was the whole "dee do wop dee do dap dah doodly doodly do" stuff.

That's just one subcategory of jazz called scat.

Other forms of negro music like rap and R&B do often have some intelligible lyrics though.

You can’t actually so stupid that you think art has to represent something? Do you also think wallpaper and carpets are stupid because they can consist of repeating patterns that don’t represent anything?

How stupid are you that you don’t understand artistic expression?

How many black crimes have you been a victim of? Sit here and tell me what a victim you are and cry about it and maybe I’ll feel bad for you.

When you go outside and see black people, are you really scared? Do you really feel afraid? How weak are you? You’re not a man.
