"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.[1]

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.[2]

History

Other popular recordings in 1935 were by Little Jack Little, Louis Armstrong[3] and Leo Reisman and his Orchestra with vocals by Frank Luther.[4]

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.[5]

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).
