I'M IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE - LYRICS
----------------------------------------------
Music by Jimmy McHugh, lyrics by Dorothy Fields
Pulished 1935


I'm in the mood for love
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.

Heaven is in your eyes
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm in the mood for love?

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love

ABOUT THIS TRACK
-------------------------
"I'm in the Mood for Love" is a popular song published in 1935. The music was written by Jimmy McHugh, with the lyrics by Dorothy Fields. The song was introduced by Frances Langford in the movie Every Night at Eight released that year.

It became Langford's signature song. Bob Hope, who frequently worked with Langford entertaining troops in World War II, later wrote that her performance of the song was often a show-stopper.

Other popular recordings in 1935 were by Little Jack Little, Louis Armstrong and Leo Reisman and his Orchestra with vocals by Frank Luther.

The song was in the 1936 Our Gang (Little Rascals) short film The Pinch Singer where it was performed by Darla Hood and Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer (on separate occasions). Switzer also performed the song in the 1936 film Palm Springs.

In a 1954 episode of The Spike Jones Show, Billy Barty sang it while impersonating Liberace, complete with toy piano.

In the 1963 Jerry Lewis film The Nutty Professor, it is one of the songs Buddy Love sings to try to win the affections of Stella (Stella Stevens).
