"Swing the Mood" "That's What I Like"

"Swing the Mood" is a popular single by Jive Bunny & the Mastermixers.

Produced by the father and son DJ team of Andy and John Pickles, Swing the Mood was a cut and paste record which fused a number of early rock and roll records with liberal use of Glenn Miller's In The Mood.

Derided by critics it nevertheless became a massive hit in the UK spending 5 weeks at the top in July and August 1989, partly aided by the Jive Bunny animated character. The record became a worldwide phenomenon, reaching #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA.
