A nonsense song is a type of song written in fun using nonsense syllables at least in the chorus. Such a song generally has a simple melody and a quick (or fairly quick) tempo.〔Citron, Stephen (1998). ''Song Writing''. Limelight: New York.〕 ==History== The roots of this song type can be traced as far back as "Shoo, Fly, Don't Bother Me" and "Jimmy Crack Corn" to the 1890s "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay". This last was a kind of can-can with an obvious accent on the "boom." Mostly it was a way of letting off steam. Every era has had its own nonsense songs. The turn of the 20th century had "Row, Row, Row", with lines like: :''And then he'd row, row, row, :''A little further he would row, :''Oh, oh, oh, oh, :''And then he'd drop both his oars, :''Take a few more encores :''And then he'd row, row, row. The jazz age created many nonsense songs. Perhaps the one that's the most fun to roll off the tongue is "Ja-Da." Say the words aloud as you read the chorus, and you'll hear the rhythm in them. :''Ja-da, ja-da :''Ja-da, ja-da, jig, jig, jig 〔Citron, Stephen (1998). ''Song Writing''.
