The Mooche

The Mooche is an American jazz song, composed in 1928 by Duke Ellington and Irving Mills. The song is in the so-called "jungle style" and includes the clarinet and muted trumpet typical of Ellington's work. James "Bubber" Miley was among the musicians that recorded the original version of the song. The song is played in C minor and the only lyrics they're singing is meow.
Bear's Adventures' instrumental rendition is played on the You Make Me Feel Like Dancing video and album. It features cat meows and Miss U and Mister Z tap dancing sound effect throughout the song.
