Bad Moon Rising" uses weather imagery to make the point that something bad is lurking "out there." [6] Vincent from Toulouse, FranceBad Moon Rising is the second studio of Sonic Youth, released on the New York independent record label Homestead Records in 1985. Robert from Denver, CoThere is a DJ here in Denver "The Boogie man" on Kool 105 that swears this song is about Watergate and Richard Nixon. He mentions it almost every time he plays it. Sure it's "dark"...but so is that Classic Paratrooper's Song "Blood Upon The Risers" with it's cheeky "He Ain't Gonna Jump No More" refrain. Creedence Clearwater Revival Chart History (Digital Song Sales)". Billboard . Retrieved July 16, 2022.
John from Kalamazoo, KyI saw a John Fogerty concert live and he said "There's a bathroom on the right." I don't get why, but maybe there's nothing to get. Maybe it was just a commedy act he came up with in the middle of the song maybe not though. Great song anyway. Even the team members were heard singing this taunt, but in the end Argentina did not take home the trophy, as they lost in the final to Germany, the team that beat Brazil. Esskayess from Dallas, TxThis song has been parodied several times, but this one by Bob Rivers is the funniest: Daniel from Cincinnatti, Oroh. and i bet he said bathroom on the right because that is the line the lyrics "bad moon on the rise' are mistaken for. The first 9 times i heard this song i thought thats what he said. Our ideas were more solid than our ability to play them! We had to raise our game”: The lessons Rush learned from HemispheresThat level of success was like nothing we had ever experienced before. It was such a huge record for us”: how Rush’s prog classic Moving Pictures marked their great reinvention Bob from Schenectady, Ny"Bad Moon Rising" was the name of one of the player maps for the user-made Vietnam War modification to Battlefield 1942 called "Eve of Destruction". The map was a night themed scenario taking place in a swampy jungle, with only the full moon illuminating the play field. Riitta from Drumnadrochit, ScotlandI wonder if this song was written as a result of the 1966 floods in New Orleans... and is that why everybody on BBC radio 2 seems to be playing it the last couple of weeks? Voodoocat from Zimbabwe, United StatesA great song that rivals The Beatles in length (the famous two and half minute long songs...).
Tina from Tampa , FlBad Moon Rising was also play every night as the Spookies were taking off on missions in Vietnam war. Why? i don't know. Guess someone liked the song and it fit the occassion.
On The Go
Terrence from Indianapolis, InI keep seeing the Devil and Daniel Webster references, but I believe it was a hailstorm, not a hurricane that came throuh New Hampshire. Camille from Toronto, OhHm...I take issue with so many people claiming they misheard the lyrics to: "bad moon on the rise". Just to get a cheap laugh, they'll say they always thought the words were 'bathroom on the right' and frankly, it's a long, tired, worn-out joke that they heard years ago that wasn't that funny then and is even less so now. I was eleven years old when this song came out, listened to it on my parents' crappy old AM radio in the car and I ALWAYS knew Fogerty was singing "bad moon on the rise." The phrasing is rather poetic, and imo, Fogerty ought to keep the integrity of the song, his song, by singing the correct lyric at concerts. All that said, this is a classic tune with just the right amount of twang to compliment Fogerty's outstanding, wonderful-to-listen-to vocals. Soulblight vampires are blessed (or cursed?) by Nagash with immortality – so why is Nyssa Volari dying? Gary Kloster explores the impossible in The Last Volari. Bernard from LavalThere are several songs that have a bouncy melody but a sad lyric, Broken-Hearted Melody is 1 that comes to mind. It makes the song catchier. The times seemed to be in turmoil. Martin Luther King and [US senator] Robert F Kennedy had been assassinated. I knew it was a tumultuous time.”
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!Fogerty would often have fun with this trope, sometimes pointing to a nearby bathroom from the stage when he got to the famous misheard line. He grabbed me and said, I like you. You've got a lot of nerve": ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons on the night his teenage band supported Jimi Hendrix, and closed their set with Foxy Lady and Purple Haze 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?
