But: for a translation I have to do and in which the song “A jazz chord to say I loved you…“ is alluded to, I would like to know eactly for which film this song was written -- is it Flashdance? the oscar-website does not say, that this song won the award 1984, it were three othes out of Flashdance. Can you help, thank you Best Klaus Hi, John

A pianist is playing in a bar and a drunk comes up to him and says 'Play a Jazz chord'. So he obliges and plays D7+9+5. The drunk goes 'No No play a Jazz chord' so he then decides to play Bbma7+11/A(cool sound btw). The drunk then goes 'No No , play a Jazz chord'. The pianist then gives up and says 'What do you mean?' The drunk then goes 'A jazz chord to say I loved you' in true club stylee. I guess that's the reason why the songs are not really known. (Yep, Monstors Inc was great) Ah well.. it goes like this.

(that said, I loved Monsters Inc, though for the life of me can't remember that song).

The one from 1984 which is the punchline to the joke about 'A jazz chord' was news to me that it was an Oscar winner. Is it me or are all the songs from recent years completely unknown ? I am and I did :-)
