The down side being when you first learned what the little holes in the top of the tape were for and recorded over your dad's Creedence, you also learned that using some judgment in what to record over was something you very badly wanted to do in the future.
We did grow up through about 4 decades of some of the best music made... Imagine why the poor sods these days are so depressed, useless, and bad-tempered. The crap music the last 40 years would drive anyone insane.
In Vietnam, fighting, our boys knew not to go out in a full moon... the enemy was waiting to kill you, and they knew their terrain and landmarks, and they could SEE you in the full moon to kill you. A full moon was a bad moon. Lots of the songs that came out during that war were against war and losing so many of our boys. Lots of symbolism in these songs. The earthquakes and lightning were from the bombs dropping around them.
Don't doubt this for a skinny minute - but the phrase didn't originate there. It dates back to the early days of colonisation - the bad moon in question was the quarter moon not the full moon. This was when the really dangerous indian raids happened. Because the quarter moon gave enough light for the indians to travel on horseback at speed across rough country and shoot at the settlers, but not enough light to allow the settlers to shoot back. Similar meaning that I think the Vietnam soldiers understood all too well. Add in the apocalyptic doom strand in the American psyche, and well, this song taps into both. Still eerily apposite today too.
John Fogarty wrote this song after watching the 1941 movie "The Devil and Daniel Webster". It had nothing to do with Viet Nam or any other war. It was about a farmer whose crops were the only ones spared in a horrific storm and the reason was because he made a deal with the devil to gain fortune.
@@Littlebigbot isn’t it amazing how a song lyric is born from one songwriter’s experience, yet it can apply to so many other interpretations and experiences of the listeners.
This was the perfect song to play before the transformation scene in “An American Werewolf in London. I’m 70 years old and Creedence played at my high school.
I was a child of the 60's and you have to understand the Social/political climate of the time. I always understood the lyrics' of the songs were a way of relaying the emotions that were felt.
Fogerty claims the song is about "the apocalypse that was going to be visited upon us". He also said that when the band was learning the song he recognized the contrast between the apocalyptic words and the happy melody.
@@patriciamayhew6321 The snow storms that hit parts of the East coast that didn't usually get them like that...OH boy! The Vietnam Vet (REALLY young guy recently home, maybe 22 or so...) Built us little kids a snow fort with his Army shovel. Like a dozen of us could fit in there.
Certain media might have been hyping ice age, but the SCIENTISTS weren't. Even in the 70s, most were predicting global warming. It is in oil companies interest to push an ice age idea and hide that their product is causing more natural disasters.
Creedence Clearwater Revival, are known as swamp rock, bluegrass and country rock, I've always called them, "The kings of swamp rock." You can't go wrong with this band, you really should listen to "Green River" next, or maybe "Up Around The Bend", or "Run Through The Jungle".
You've discovered what makes the song next-level, one of the most streamed songs of all time, etc. -- the juxtaposition of a cheerful melody with doom-and-gloom lyrics
Fogerty says the song is a metaphor for the tumultuous times he was living in, with the assassination of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy. He also says he wasn't trying to say the world was ending, but rather that something bad was lurking.
So true, people tend to look for literal meaning rather than metaphors. A good example is Blown Wide Open by Big Wreck. I've seen comments saying how awful gun violence is, and while that's true, I'm going whaaat? It's about not dealing with your crap and having that trash your relationships.
Their song, "Stuck in Lodi" is about being stuck in the little town of Lodi California which is about 35 miles south of Sacramento in the central valley where I grew up and spent most of my life.
War music was amazing hope for very dark times. Many of the emotions expressed in those times could have been written today. I loved the music back then and still listening at 65. Those were the days.✌
When grandchildren begin fighting over album and 45 collections you know we were blessed with our musical surroundings... That said, for every good song there were at least 100 disco ducks lol.
Bless you for worrying…I learned after working with cancer patients, not to worry…their outlook on life changed my way of living….TRUST IN JESUS is how I live now.
I remember this track playing in An American Werewolf In London was a full of dark humour but also the special effects were amazing at the time the film came out in 1981 and was towards the end of the film where he changes in the adult movie theatre from a man to a werewolf. This song always stuck with me after hearing it in the movie soundtrack and always takes me straight back to that scene in the movie. Cheers for the good memory's BlackP remember watching this on VHS videotapes at my mom and dads or at one of my friends houses used to be one of our favourite films effects are a bit dated now though.
What was Bad Moon Rising written about? Fogerty claims the song is about "the apocalypse that was going to be visited upon us". He also said that when the band was learning the song he recognized the contrast between the apocalyptic words and the happy melody.
Speaking of legal battles. CCR lost all of their rights to their music/songs. John Fogerty went into a 50 year legal battle to regain their rights back. In February 2023 he was successful and did receive back the rights. What a story! Thank you for sharing this one. =)
This song was prominently featured in the 1981 film An American Werewolf in London. I don’t think you’ve checked out their song “Down on the Corner”, so if you can, please do so. #blackpegasus #creedence
What is stunning to me is that between the years 1969 to 1970 they OWNED the charts. SO many hits it's crazy, no other band in R&R history, and I'm talking Beatles topping, had more #1's in such a short period of time. And before you knew it, poof, they were gone.
@@ChrisSmith-bz1gl True. But they had five singles reach No.2, one No.3 and one No.4, in 1969/70. Plus they had two albums reach No.1 on the Billboard in the same period.
There’s a “bathroom on the right”! When you listen it sounds like that’s what he says and he even jokes about that sometimes in concert and has the audience sing “ There’s A Bathroom on the Right”!
CCR, where every track is a banger. Timeless music with one of the best voices out there. CCR will always be in my Player, iPod, Playlist or whatever medium the future brings. Started with tapes...
John Foggerty wrote this song after watching the 1941 movie "The Devil and Daniel Webster", which may have also the inspiration for Charlie Daniels "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". The movie is based on an old folk tale. In the movie, there is an apocalyptic sized hurricane. AS for the music, if you know the end is unavoidable, why not go out dancing and having fun?
Another Vietnam song!! Alot of interpretations... CCR was on another planet along with alot of great musicians! Its just sad, music is not the same today😢 But i love watching younger generations find this treasure of music and play it but also listen to the words.. love ❤ your channel!!
Back then we would dance in a happy way while being gritty and honest about the truth! This is the Vietnam era and a lot of their songs were about that! It was also cool to be dark, because the whole world had been so forced into happiness and sweetness all the time. So we were bringing the truth out from under the surface at last, being REAL. For a change! Also you couldn't make it in music and entertainment business unless you were in New York city, or Southern California West Coast LA area. Or possibly Nashville if it was country. So yes they did take on Southern music in a way but there's more history to them individually and collectively than that. And they were pushed hard by their producers to the point that they just about died from exhaustion. One of them became a Christian artist after getting saved (band called Higher Ground, I believe). And he told the truth about all of that. I grew up on their music. I'm 62 now born in 1962
From an early 80’s movie called an American Werewolf in London. Traditionally in horror movies, the cursed turn into the Werewolf when the moon rises.aSt the ending, the lead changes into the Werewolf. The special effects involved won an Oscar. If you can find the movie, then the lyrics will make sense. Well worth a watch!
Fogerty co-wrote Proud Mary (yes, THAT Proud Mary) in the late 60s that charted near the top of Billboard. Then Tina Turner recorded it later in 1970 or 71ish.
I got to see John in concert with his son a few years ago. It was one of the best concerts I have been to. Everyone was singing and dancing. It was a great time.
My dad mostly played 2 cassettes when we went somewhere. It was CCR or Pink Floyd. I had this song memorized by the time I was 7. Timeless music. My great uncle was also in Vietnam. So glad you’re enjoying it!
There's actually a whole category of music that is like this, where its happy music with sad or angry lyrics, one of the best ones is Pumped Up Kicksby Foster the People
The lyric when he talks about "There's an eye for an eye", reminded me of how we are hurting each other just because we think different. I heard this song thousand of time, first time looking at the lyrics, thanks Black P! 40!
They’re from Cali, but John Fogerty grew up listening to country artists like Hank Williams Sr. In fact, in the 70s, John did a solo album that (I think) was all Hank Sr. covers.
When I was in 7th grade (in the 90s) we had an assignment where we had to pick a song and recite and analyze the lyrics in an oral presentation. I did this song as a suggestion from my mom. It kinda freaked the class out and impressed the teacher. I got an A
Us baby boomers grew up with horror movies and books that portended that the (BAD) moon rising meant bad events would occur. So his lyrics informed the BAD moon rising title. And the song perfectly fit the later movie An American Werewolf in London. The song also was used in the original Twilight Zone movie when Dan Acroyd turns into a monster while driving the ambulance.
CCR are in everybody of my age top 10 groups. Choose any of these but start with Have You Ever Seen the Rain:- Fortunate Son Up Around the Bend Down on the Corner Green River Proud Mary Lodi Travelin' Band I Heard It Through the Grapevine Have You Ever Seen the Rain
This was heavily played on the radio. It was also featured in the movie American Werewolf in London. CCR music is in just about every movie about the Vietnam War
I love this song so much. They used this track in the movie "American Werewolf In London". So in the movie the bad moon was the big ol puppy dog who was eating up London England! LOL LOL Sorry I couldn't resist.
Great song, brings back memories, but to be honest I never knew what this song is about either. The other people and their remarks just educated me on this song.I just love your reactions. ❤️✌🏻🎶
I would have been much more impressed if you said you had kept a copy of the album, or if you had tirelessly searched down a copy in a little hidden second hand shop in Mali to get it lol... (P.S. The albums, even scratchy and dusty sound a lot better!)
@vampfashions I bought the CD when it first came out. Used to have it on 8 track. What else?? I'm from the 40s, I started with big bands and then Elvis. I have a lot of old stuff.
@@tazs1212 I am certifiably jealous that you got to grow up when all this was happening, plus, got to hear all the "old records from Broadway, and Big Bands an the 50s too. Yeah, we're spoiled compared to the poor souls today. I'm from 63 so got the 60s as atmosphere, but the 70s into the 80s "live", then the death of music in the mid 80s LOL.
@@tazs1212 One of my all time fave songs is from '24, 1924! "Anything Goes" from the Broadway show, but the remake from 2012 by Sutton Foster. 100 years old and lyrics that are almost as provocative as a rap song lol. I think I need to go listen to In The Mood..
CCR & John Fogerty in general are a real Bop. 🕺🏻 Excellent voice. I always cracked up at the misheard lyrics “There’s a bathroom on the right.” My mom told me about that one back in the day. 😆
John likes flannel shirts. A lot. For a change of pace, check out "Long as I can see the Light" from trhe Cosmo's Factory album. Great vocal and John plays the Saxophone too.
While I'm not thrilled about getting old, I am SO very grateful to have been able to grow up with this music.
The down side being when you first learned what the little holes in the top of the tape were for and recorded over your dad's Creedence, you also learned that using some judgment in what to record over was something you very badly wanted to do in the future.
Love 1969 very good year for very good music

Lots of the songs that came out during that war were against war and losing so many of our boys. Lots of symbolism in these songs. The earthquakes and lightning were from the bombs dropping around them.
Don't doubt this for a skinny minute - but the phrase didn't originate there. It dates back to the early days of colonisation - the bad moon in question was the quarter moon not the full moon. This was when the really dangerous indian raids happened. Because the quarter moon gave enough light for the indians to travel on horseback at speed across rough country and shoot at the settlers, but not enough light to allow the settlers to shoot back. Similar meaning that I think the Vietnam soldiers understood all too well. Add in the apocalyptic doom strand in the American psyche, and well, this song taps into both. Still eerily apposite today too.
@@beabarber4300 I definitely agree with your analogy. Storytellers have, for centuries, used the 'full moon' to enhance their tales.
Thank you for saying it dear brother. Someone understands.

Best example of a mondegreen there is!!
I scrolled and scrolled to find "this comment" I knew it would be here, or I would have had to leave it! 😂
Anyone remember when they were telling us the ice age was upon us?
Yes, in the 1970’s.

If you listen closely they tell you. What is coming time to wake up America and stand together ❤
Much like the song in the year 2525 by Zager and Evans...
A legendary song from a legendary band. Thanks for reacting to this gem.
Creedence Clearwater Revival, are known as swamp rock, bluegrass and country rock, I've always called them, "The kings of swamp rock." You can't go wrong with this band, you really should listen to "Green River" next, or maybe "Up Around The Bend", or "Run Through The Jungle".
CCR!!!! Defined an era👍🏼👍🏼❤️❤️They’re from California originally but found their niche in southern rock.
Fogarty thought someone really bad was about to happen in the world. He was right....we are here.
There is always something very American in their music! ❤
Pure music. No autotune, no synths. Just pure guitar and its amp.
Nothing but raw talent 💯
Probably the most famous Mondegreen of all time. "THEEERE'S A BATHROOM ON THE RIGHT!!!"
I was gonna say that...🤣🤣
No it's " douche," but this one is great too.
@@JamesBrendon-h4r You mean 'revved up like a douche'?
that hilarious first time im hearing of this had to sing it with the song.
SUZIE Q is my favorite CCR song. All of their songs are great but SUZIE Q is on a completely different level
You've discovered what makes the song next-level, one of the most streamed songs of all time, etc. -- the juxtaposition of a cheerful melody with doom-and-gloom lyrics
Pop's was a Nam Vet and LOVED CCR! Thanks for all the reactions fam! Taking me back to some good times.
My fav is Green River✨✨
Just remember that the Vietnam War was full on then and John was a Army vet.
Love CCR! Brings back high school memories
Who knew Fogerty could predict the future 50 years ahead,!
Misheard lyric in this song: "There's a bad moon on the rise" has been heard by many, including myself at first, as "There's a bathroom on the right."
I still hear it that way to this day! 😆
Lol I always sing it that way😂.
On John Fogerty's live album Premonition (and probably often live) he actually does slip that line in
You beat me to it. I was going to say that. That's how my very young daughter sang it way back when.
One live streamer I used to watch before he retired said he always used to mistake that line as There's a Baboon on the right. 😂
Fogerty says the song is a metaphor for the tumultuous times he was living in, with the assassination of Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy. He also says he wasn't trying to say the world was ending, but rather that something bad was lurking.

Every CCR is fantastic!!
