Dancing in the Moonlight

Saturday 9: Dancing in the Moonlight (1972)

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) The lyrics tell us the moon is big and bright. Do you often take the time to watch the sun set or look at the moon?

Yes.

I am sure most of you have seen my sunset photographs.

2) The lead singer of King Harvest, Dave "Doc" Robinson, tells us that everyone feels "warm and right." How would you describe your mood as you answer these 9 questions?

Tired.

3) He sings that his friends don't bark or bite. What about you? Is your bark worse than your bite?

I don’t bark or bite, it takes too much energy to get mad.

4) He believes you be unhappy when you dance. Do you agree?

Since I don’t dance I have to say no, dancing takes to much energy.

5) King Harvest was not the only name the band used. They once performed as E. Rodney Jones and the Prairie Dogs. If you ever played in a band, tell us what it was called. If you haven't, make up a band name.

The “String Breakers” I would probably be breaking guitar string all the car.

6) Even though this was a major hit, King Harvest's record label, Perception, went bankrupt in 1974. This decade has been hard on many businesses -- especially restaurants -- and many closed their doors due to COVID. Tell us about a shop or restaurant that closed recently, and that you miss.

Actually all the restaurants in town made it through the plague, but I heard that one restaurant just changed its name from the Russian Lady to the Ukraine Lady .

7) This very upbeat song came from pain. While vacationing in St. Croix, songwriter Sherman Kelly was the victim of vicious gang attack and was left for dead. He wrote this song during his long recuperation and it helped him envision joy. Is there a song that reliably lifts your mood? (Yes, you can say this song. Mr. Kelly is right, it IS joyful!)

Bubbly

8) In 1972, when this song topped the charts, Wrangler jeans were America's best-selling blue jeans. Do you often wear denim?

Just about every day.

9) Random question: Which of these is completely, 100% UNTRUE of you: Greedy, lazy, or jealous?

Greedy and jealousy. Just not in may nature.
