This song is another which has deservedly become a standard.
I'm in the mood for ska was a noble guess, but if folks paid attention to what was being asked, they would find that the artists and video listed at the end of this brief synopsys is more likely what you are asking about.
It was one of seven songs written by Fields and McHugh for the 1935 film "Every Night at Eight". The film starred George Raft, and (more significantly from the point of view of the songs) three singing actresses - Patsy Kelly, Alice Faye and Frances Langford - as three singing sisters on the radio.
Frances Langford introduced and recorded I'm in the Mood for Love, but the performer who had a big hit with it was Little Jack Little and his orchestra. Since then dozens of performers have recorded it (more than 120 versions are listed on record store websites).
"I'm In The Mood For Love," was made timelessly made famous by Little Rascal, Alfalfa Switzer,
Bryan Ferry's version takes us through a tropical French vista of passion.
It was likely Jamiroquai & Jools Holland who did the version you are thinking of. See it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFK0piilHtU

The tune you're looking for is "I'm In The Mood For Ska" by Lord Tanamo and the Skatalites and often features on reggae boxsets. If you've got Rhapsody installed, you can listen to the tune at the following link:

Lot's of people sang it, but i think you might be talking about the Frank Sinatra version.
I'm in the mood for love simply because you're near me
Funny but when you're near me, I'm in the mood for love.
Heaven was in your eyes, bright as the stars we're under,
Or is it any wonder, I'm in the mood for love.
Why stop to think of whether this little dream might fade,
We'll put our hearts together - now we are one, I'm not afraid.
If there's a cloud above, if it should rain, we'll let it.
But for tonight forget it, I'm in the mood for love
