Be honest, have you ever been 'In The Mood?'

[Ptah]

[LuckyCharms]

1. Just once.

In the 80s.

For a couple of minutes.

[Ptah]

3. Did you want to sing?

[NNadir]

10. I was entirely always in the mood in the late 80's

It made dealing with Reagan and Bush I livable, I guess, giving me the opportunity to distract myself.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

2. Always!

[Ptah]

4. Then what happened?

[Floyd R. Turbo]

9. Nothing!

[efhmc]

5. That was so enjoyable. who is the actor "playing the piano"?

[justaprogressive]

6. every time I picked up that instrument!

[True Dough]

7. More mood for your moody day

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Great Tune

Learned it on piano when I was a a kid because my dad loved Glenn Miller.
Did a kind a boogie-woogie bass line to make it swing.
Would take me a month to relearn it now, and I'm way too lazy for that!

[LudwigPastorius]

11. I don't get it.

Somebody goes to the trouble to colorize and post a clip of the Glen Miller band playing this tune, but the underlying soundtrack is a cover version by somebody called "The Serious Dance Band".

Here is the original version of the song:

You can tell that THIS is the Glenn Miller Orch. because 1) It's a mono recording, 2) the vibrato is specifically correct for that era, and 3) the soloists are improvising and not playing a written out transcription (with wrong notes) like the colorized "Glen Miller" version.
