From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Mood:
|
"In the Mood" is a song popularized by the American bandleader Glenn Miller in 1939, and one of the best-known arrangements of the big band era. Miller's rendition topped the charts one year later and was featured in the 1941 movie Sun Valley Serenade... The song was composed by Joe Garland and Andy Razaf, and arranged by Glenn Miller.[1] The main theme previously appeared under the title of "Tar Paper Stomp", credited to jazz trumpeter/bandleader Wingy Manone, who recorded it several times in 1929 and 1930. A story says that after "In the Mood" became a hit, Manone was paid by Miller and his record company not to contest the copyright. |

FINALLY:
From http://www.ajokeaday.com - 03/07/15:
| A mean lookin' cowboy was sitting
by himself in a saloon. He was a pretty intimidating sight, so no one
bothered him as he downed a few whiskey and beers. After chugging his
last drink he slammed some coins on the tabletop and got up to leave.
Right after he left though he came
storming back in and said, "Listen up, you mangy mongrels," and
everyone, terrified, immediately fell silent. He was getting on it when one of
the bar patrons ran up to him and sheepishly asked, "Sir, I don't mean
to bother you but I just have to know, what did you do in Texas?" |
