Q: What's the melody/music playing when Tom Hanks and the girl are dancing in a ballroom and she asks him what he was like when he was growing up?  (from stretch  in decatur indiana united states )
A: I think you mean "Moonlight Serenade." I'm not sure who originally played/sung it (there are vocal versions out there as well), but there is a version by Benny Goodman and a version by The Glenn Miller Band. Very lovely music. (thanks to Anne , Bangkok, Thailand add more info
A: As noted before, it was "Moonlight Serenade," music by Glenn Miller, first recorded 1938. Placed on the back side of "Sunrise Serenade" it became a huge hit and was adopted by Miller as his theme song. Lyrics were subsequently written by Mitchell Parrish. Sinatra did a great cover on his album "Moonlight Sinatra." More recently, Carly Simon did a lovely alto version on her album "Moonlight Serenade" released in 2005 - highly recommended.
