[oOaabbbiiiOo]

I love this song.. but I have to say that in this performance when he says 'I'm in the mood for ska' he sounds like Peter Griffin from family guy...

Woow!!!

What cover? That guy made that song, and it's named at the first album as "I'm in the mood for ska" even he is singin "... for love" :D

I wouldnt call it a "cover" as Lord Tanamo practically reinveted it in the 60s - but it''s a old song from the 30's called "Im in the mood for love"

James Moody did an improvised jazz- sax version in the 40s which became known as "Moodys mood for love" and later had words written for it.

The sax player on the Lord Tanamo 60s hit record (with the old words) quoted from the Moody version in his solo

@thearchbishopofcant reinventioning and covering walk really close together :D But yes, there was lots of things I didn't know about, so sort of thank you for telling :)
