From: In a Sentimental Mood ; Year: 1989; Genre: Swing/Big Band Jazz Had this song on my mind since yesterday; quite a catchy and upbeat track to say the least. This one is a standard from during the height of The War, originally written by Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer. From wot I understand the title and main idea of the song was borrowed from a sermon by a popular preacher at the time, Father Divine , which translated very well into an upbeat song. Many have recorded versions of this popular standard over the years, I almost went for a few others, but I knew Dr. John's really well, and I am a fan of his work, so I chose his rendition. Hear Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive on YouTube.

Someone on Songfight said this earlier today:
ReplyDelete"And it looks a bit like a Pink Floyd album - which in a just world, would all be rounded up and burnt."
Whatever. I guess Floyd isn't for everybody.
What a narrow mind. Oh well, their loss. Que sera sera.
