I can't think of much modern popular music in a straight 12/8 but one example is "Do you hear the people sing" from "Les Miserables". No one is going to convince me that it sounds in the slightest like swing! Nor do I know who would accept it as such.

But can you pinpoint what it is that makes it feel lack of swing, or what changes would be necessary in order to give it a swing feel?
