| - Mood Indigo was the stage-name of an adult film performer in Los Angeles in the early 1990s. She wore a tattoo of a cartoon character above her left ankle. After she inexplicably disappeared from the business in March of 1991, she was considered as one of the potential victims of the Dollmaker copycat killer, along with Candi Cummings, Dee Anne Dozit, TeXXXas Rose, Holly Lere, Heather Cumhither, and Magna Cum Loudly.
- The tune was composed for a radio broadcast in October 1930 and was originally titled "Dreamy Blues." It was "the first tune I ever wrote specially for microphone transmission," Ellington recalled. "The next day wads of mail came in raving about the new tune, so Irving Mills put a lyric to it." Renamed "Mood Indigo," it became a jazz standard. While Irving Mills—Jack Mills's brother and publishing partner—took credit for the lyrics, in a 1987 interview, lyricist Mitchell Parish claimed that he had written the lyrics.
