Data	1928

The Mooche è un brano musicale jazz, composto da Duke Ellington e Irving Mills nel 1928.^[1] Il pezzo è nel filone del cosiddetto "jungle style"^[2] ed include il clarinetto e la tromba "muta" tipici dello stile di Ellington.^[3] James "Bubber" Miley fu tra i musicisti che incisero la versione originale della canzone.^[4]

Nel 1933 Ellington spiegò che il titolo della composizione era un riferimento ad "una certa andatura pigra tipica di alcuni degli abitanti di Harlem".^[5]
