Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gabin ft Stephano di Battista's song Doo Uap Doo Uap Doo Uap detail the importance of swing in music. The line "It don't mean a thing, If it ain't got that swing" is a reference to Duke Ellington's song "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)" which was a popular jazz standard from the 1930s. The reference to swing in music is a nod to the importance of rhythm and the feeling that it creates. A song may have great lyrics and melody, but if it lacks a certain rhythm or swing, it can fall flat.


The repetition of the line "It don't mean a thing, If it ain't got that swing" reinforces the message of the importance of swing in music. The use of the word "ain't" also adds to the casual, playful nature of the song, which is fitting for a jazz-inspired tune.


Overall, the lyrics of "Doo Uap Doo Uap Doo Uap" are a celebration of music and the importance of rhythm, with swing being the key ingredient to making a song truly memorable.
