"In the Mood" is a song by progressive rock band Rush off of their debut album, Rush. It was at least two years old when recorded for the album. It is 3 minutes and 34 seconds long and in 4/4 time.

Curiously, the song was always performed in concert — often in a medley, and usually near the end of the final encore — until the Roll The Bones tour when it was dropped. In live performances, the line "hey, baby, it's a quarter to eight" was often altered to include a woman's name in place of the word "baby."

The St. Louis Classic Rock radio station KSHE plays the song every Friday night at 7:45 ("a quarter to eight").
