What's this song?

What's this song? It was on US Top 40 radio in the late 80s. It's a mashup sorta thingie of musical styles, starting out with a big band playing "In the Mood" and moving forward through different popular music styles to the modern day. IIRC at the very end there is a brief return to a little bit of In the Mood.

It's a bit early for your timeframe, but could it have been one of the "Hooked On" series?

Response by poster: twiki wins at askmefi. Funny, I thought it went further-er forward in time than the 50s but this is it for sure.

Also, wtf youtube video-making people?

Thanks!!
