Doo Uap Doo Uap Doo Uap
Gabin & Stefano Di Battisti Lyrics

The lyrics of "Doo Uap Doo Uap Doo Uap" by Gabin & Stefano Di Battista contain a reference to an iconic line from the Duke Ellington song "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)." The phrase "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing" refers to the attitude and energy that a piece of music needs in order to be successful. When a song has "swing," it has a certain rhythmic buoyancy and momentum that makes it feel good to listen to and dance to. Without that swing, a song is flat, lifeless, and ultimately forgettable.

In the context of "Doo Uap Doo Uap Doo Uap," the lyrics build on this idea of the importance of swing by adding a sense of playfulness and fun. The repeated phrase "doo uap doo uap doo uap" is a nonsensical vocal riff that has no meaning in itself, but its inclusion adds to the playful, lighthearted vibe of the song. The lyrics suggest that even without any concrete meaning or deep message, a song that has a good swing and a sense of fun can still be immensely enjoyable and memorable.
