Welcome to Monday’s Mewsic Moves Me! It’s not frequent that we’re outdoors late enough for me to capture celestial entities in the sky, so when I’m able to attempt it then I’m eager to give for the moment. This week’s theme is “songs about the moon“.
My various artist ‘Fly me to the moon’ playlist includes these song tracks:
- FLY ME TO THE MOON ~American Idol hopeful, Casey Abrams. If you’re like me Sinatra comes to mind when you think of this song but did you know it was first released under the title, In Other Words, by Kaye Ballard in 1954? Also, its been covered an impressive 599 times to date.
- EVERYONE’S GONE TO THE MOON ~ The Lettermen (1970) is a new discovery from nearly two dozen covers. I loved their sweet sound of this version but it was written and recorded by Jonathan King in 1965.
- DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT ~Boofalongo is the original 1970 recording artist made popular by King Harvest in 1972
- BAD MOON RISING ~Janiva Magness (2019) covered Creedence Clearwater Revival is only one of handful of women to cover this late 60s hit and happens to be last week’s BoTB’s featured song, vote now if you haven’t!
- NEW MOON ON MONDAY ~Duran Duran (1983) hit the US Billboard Hot 100 charts January 1984. A song I forgot about until now.

Before I leave let me mention my mid-month BoTB, I used one of the songs on my playlist and I’d love it if you’d cast your vote for your favorite artist. Go ahead do that now, I’ll wait….Done? Good! Okay, that’s a wrap for this time, I’ll be back on Wednesday with the results from my showdown and I hope you’ll pop back in to see if your pick is named the winner. Have a boogietastic week!
