The Great Gatsby

  1) I’m Sitting on Top of the World by Al Jolson
People with “old money” such as Gatsby. Tom was in a sense higher in the world than Gatsby such as Tom were seen as better than people with “new money” 

2) I ain't got nobody - Marion Harris: This song would be fitting at the end of the book when Nick is all alone.

3)"Happy Days Are Here Again" by Johnny Marvin and The Leonard Joy Orchestra

This song reflects how Gatsby must have felt when he thought he had gotten Daisy back again. He believes he can and will repeat the past.

4) The Prisoner's Song- Vernon Dalhart This song reminds me of Myrtle because she feels like a prisoner because she is not married to a wealthy man.
