Creedence Clearwater Revival have a sense of impending doom on their 1969 hit “Bad Moon Rising.” The song was the lead single from Creedence Clearwater Revival’s third studio album, Green River. The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in September 1969. Martin Sheen from Lima, OhA fun song. A commonly misheard lyric is "There's A Bathroom on the Right"/ Clarke from Pittsburgh, PaThe cheeriest "end of the world" song I've ever heard (with the possible exception of R.E.M.) I love the part where John Fogerty sings "Hope you are quite prepared to die" - he sounds almost as happy as Johnny Olsen shouting "Come on down!" on the Price is Right! Ed from Lebanon, PaIt's about Nixon, though it's not necessarily about Watergate, since it would be a couple years before the nation found out about that. Spring of '69 and who had just become president in January?Jennifur Sun from RamonaThere are probably those out there who think I'm nuts but this song reminds me of all the weird weather that has happened over the last 3 or 4 years and the book of Revelation. Alayna from Gainesville, FlI can't believe that the lyrics were thought with the bathroom on the right thing. I've been listening to this song for years and never heard it that way. After reading that, I even had to find my CD and listen to it, just to see where you were coming from. Brian from Paoli, InThe song also appeared in the movie Blade(Wesley Snipes). Great song, happy sounding, but dark lyrics...Well dark for CCR. I also objected to Bad Moon Rising being strewn around on TV commercials and any old movie,” he adds, “but we had no power in our contracts to veto where our music went. It was everywhere. And for every good movie that you’ve heard it in – for example An American Werewolf In London, which was a pretty cool movie – there were at least 10 more that were awful.”

I think J.Fogerty might chose to live in lodi. considering it is a great ccr song. And as for the meaning of Bad Moon Rising, I think it's obvious: The End of the World. nothing more nothing less. John from San Diego, CaI am really curious as to what these lyrics actually mean. I have a couple differnt friends who all give me different meanings for this song. And all I want is the truth. I've grown up on this song and I really don't like listening to music if I don't even understand the lyrics. But the beat is so great and its been a staple in my family for so long. So if anybody truly knows what the lyrics mean, please, let me know... Nady from Adelaide, AustraliaI grew up thinking tat the words were "There's a baboon on the right" so thats what me and my dad sing, usually its when we are driving that it comes on, so I get to point at him and sing "Thres a babbon on the right" ahahahahahaEsskayess from Dallas, TxThis song has been parodied several times, but this one by Bob Rivers is the funniest: Voodoocat from Zimbabwe, United StatesA great song that rivals The Beatles in length (the famous two and half minute long songs...). Dave from Greer, ScI really hope no one ACTUALLY thought that the words were "there's a bathroom on the right"
