"In The Mood", by Ray Stevens. If you were going to put out a record in the nature of this one, with its fake chickens singing the melody line of "In The Mood" (yes, that one), don't you think you would do it under an assumed name, in order to keep your reputation intact? (If, that is, you had any reputation left after scoring a worldwide hit with "The Streak".) Or do you subscribe to the theory that any publicity is good publicity?
And anyway, which one is the real Ray Stevens: the instant novelty artist? Or the somewhat soppy balladeer?
People who produce "comic" film clips soundtracked by this song and put them on YouTube are Only Making It Worse.
