The song “I Got Rhythm”, sung by Lena Horne, is a good representation of the Tin-Pan Alley era. It uses many components of jazz style such as brass and wind instruments that come together to create an upbeat melody, which is appropriate in relation to the lyrics. The arrangement of the song is important, starting off in a calm tone and finally building to exude the power that the singer feels and wishes to portray, as she repeatedly states that she has anything she could possibly want. The lyrics are the most interesting part of the song because they expose the listener to a feeling of fulfillment from simply listening to high-quality music and having a fine man by your side. This is peculiar when also taking into account the rough times that the U.S. was experiencing during this period, known as the Great Depression. Obviously, such privileges as going out to a dance club with your husband were a far reach for the majority of the citizens, namely the working-class, due to the shocking financial crisis sweeping the nation. Songs such as these seem to be an escape from the stress of everyday life by imagining not having to mind “old man trouble” and the reality of what they were going through during this time.
