Bad Moon Rising
The staying power of classic rock is truly amazing. As I was mowing a few days ago, Finance Director Lori drove in. She was rocking out to some tune. She rolled down the window so I could share what she was enjoying: “Bad Moon Rising”.
I looked up Creedence Clearwater Revival’s discography. Their “Green River” album came out in 1969, the year my brother was born. Lori would have been born around the same time. Even though CCR had been relegated to Golden Oldie status by the time she would have been appreciating music, CCR is still appealing.
I first remember CCR in late-night commercials. At first I thought the last line of the chorus
Don’t go around tonight,was “There’s a bathroom on the right.”
Well, it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
Whenever we hear that song, Hubby and I laugh and loudly sing the misheard lyrics.

Misheard words are a common phenomena (especially in children songs). In Israel we have a website for the most common distortions in Israeli children songs.
What a fun-sounding web site. Glad to hear from you again. Hope your trip was wonderful.
