Someone I met online mentioned to me that she "talks jive". She told me she was quoting a saying from the 1980 movie Airplane. Given the quotes that I read from that movie from various stereotypical "jive dudes", I'm glad I haven't seen that movie.

But those exchanges (the online messages and the movie script) got me thinking about how that word "jive" has a lot of different meanings. It also got me thinking of how this word is used in other titles or lyrics of song.

Rather than start a new thread, I'm going to add some thoughts about the word "jive" that I hope won't be jive (in the negative sense of that word). And I also will add a couple more titles of songs that include the word "jive".

It would be interesting if other folks would also add to this thread.
