Talk:In the Mood

Untitled
An infobox for the Ernie Fields Jr. version of "In the Mood" was requested at WikiProject_Missing_encyclopedic_articles/List_of_notable_songs/7.

Red Garland or Joe Garland?
A previous version of the was changed (not by me) to Joe Garland and then reverted back to Red Garland.

According to the German translation of the book "Glenn Miller and His Orchestra" by George T. Simon, chapter 16, the composer of "In the Mood" is Joe Garland who gave it first to Artie Shaw. German title: "Glenn Miller: Sein Leben - Seine Musik", ISBN 3-85445-031-1

A CD credits Garland-Razaf.

 * Another book: Hans-Jürgen Schaal, "Jazz-Standards: Das Lexikon", ISBN 3-7618-1414-3, says "Musik: Joseph C. Garland; Text: Andy Razaf" and "Joe Garland" later in the text. So I am going to change the name to "Joe" again (134.95.140.43 on 20:31, 8 Mar 2004 had changed it to Joe without giving source information, maybe that's why it was changed later).

Hal Leonard, the publisher currently controlling the sheet music rights to "In The Mood", credits Red Garland, even though most discographies and histories (and some label credits) say Joe. Shoshani (talk) 16:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Signature Tune
The theme of the Glenn Miller band was "Moonlight Serenade"--no ifs, ands, or buts about it. The opening assertion is wrong and ought to be changed if not documentable.--Buckboard 23:54, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup?
Does this article still need cleanup? I'm not sure what's wrong with it that it needs this tag. -- DrGaellon (talk | contribs) 13:55, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Wingy Manone
Someone needs to fact-check the assertion that Miller and "Miller's record company" paid Wingy Manone not to contest the copyright. Miller and Manone both recorded for the same company (Bluebird, the RCA low-price affiliate to their prestigious Victor label). Shoshani (talk) 16:24, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Sometimes we can't see the wood for........
Anyone heard of The Glenn Miller Story movie? It doesn't get a mention, yet the movie helped to make the song famous. Of course I could, but so can you. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 08:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The movie helped make the tune famous? If you have a source on that, add it. I had thought it was one of the most famous hit toppers of the era before the film came out. -- 12:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)


 * The song was famous long before the movie came out... Why do you think Glenn Miller was famous enough to have a movie made about him? Where would that fame have come from otherwise? Stevenmitchell (talk) 00:51, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

All You Need is Love
I think we should put some mention that part of the song was used during the outro to The Beatles' song.Daeth (talk) 01:20, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Lyrics
Does anyone know when the lyrics were written and by whom? Had Miller's version been out for a while before someone decided to put words to it? 67.246.169.69 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:40, 10 December 2010 (UTC).

Glenn Miller website
Why is the Glenn Miller website used as a reference source? It is a professional copy band that had absolutely nothing to do with the original band, other than play their music 70 years later... It is not an official website at all... Stevenmitchell (talk) 00:55, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

first digital recording
There should be something in here to the effect that this song, along with Baa Baa Black sheep, was the first songs to be recorded and played back by a computer in 1951 71.62.201.39 (talk) 15:27, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

When Was It Released?
when was In the Mood Released? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.105.134.56 (talk) 06:47, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

The Beatles
Shouldn't it be added that the opening of ITM was prominently mixed into the ending of the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love"? 83.254.145.171 (talk) 11:20, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

raw copyright info 1938-40
Here are the ocr copyright filings I retrieved. Note first two from 1938 are unpublished. Then Lewis Music Publishing filed published copyright a month before Shapiro, Bernstein. I am sure there is a story behind that!
