So, lets have some fun. 'I'm in the mood for love.'
I originally became exposed to this song, when I was a little kid watching The Little Rascals.There was one episode called 'Pinch Singer'. In it Alfala sang a tune (off-key).
It was 'I'm in the mood for love', (originally written by Jimmy McHugh & saxophonist James Moody).
Of course since then, I've heard a number of people sing the song,
including Sara Vaughn, Nat King Cole, Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Barbara Streisand, Rod Stewart, Peaches & Herb, and many others.
It's also been used as a jazz standard to innovate with, most notably by the great alto saxophonist Charlie Parker;
and piano great Art Tatum;
But, you know the lyrics, or at least the beginning.
"I'm in the mood for love, simply because you're near me."
Wonderful. But, this is 2021 and perhaps it's time for an update more in tune (pun intended)
with the current century.
So, starting with the opening, "I'm in the mood for love, simply because"........
lets have fun adding our own suggestions to update the tune.
To get us started I'll suggest;
I'm in the mood for love simply because....... of Viagra.
or ....simply because.... quarantine ended.
or .....simply because .... of your D cups.
or.............. add your own suggestions, if you like.
