a hand-to-hand position, resembling a high-five, done as a warm-up exercise, in general, before some kind of physical activity, or sport. So called, because it reminds one of the famous Glenn
Miller instrumental, of the title. A locker room dance, prior to a football
game, or even prior to
football practice, using hand-to-hand combat techniques, may be called "In The Mood."
Jamie, his friend Matt, and Matt's little brother, Robert, all did In The Mood, on Sunday, December 28,1986, before going
box-sliding down the snowy hill.
When they were in high school, and played
football, David, Greg, and Mel, who were all close pals, would do In The Mood,in the locker room,as a locker-room dance, prior to football practice or prior to a game.
