Does "to get in moods" exist or make sense?

If so, when do you use it?

Would you please give me some examples?

Thank you
 
Where have you seen/read this phrase? Please put it into a complete sentence for us.
 
From YouTube. It's one of the comments to a song called "lovesong" by The Cure:

I love this band!
I get in moods and I play this song over and over and over! Robert Smith is a Legend! I will always Love The Cure!
 
BTW, is it correct to say, ".....comments TO a song....." or should I have written ".....comments ON/ABOUT a song....."?

Thank you

In that context, it's understandable. The usual phrase (BrE) is "to get in a mood", meaning "to become grumpy or sad". We don't use it about positive feelings.

BTW, By the way, is it correct to say, "... comments TO a song ..." or should I have written "... comments ON/ABOUT a song ..."?

Thank you.

Note my corrections above. Please don't use non-standard English here. Whilst most native speakers know what "btw" means, many learners don't. An ellipsis consists of just three dots with a space at each end before/after a word. No space is needed if the ellipsis is next to a punctuation mark.
I'd use "on" when talking about people commenting on a song/video on YouTube.
 
But should I say, "comments to a song" or "comments on/about a song"?

Thank you.
