Which artist and singer is behind the bad moon rising lyrics?
“Bad Moon Rising” is a 1969 song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, written by John Fogerty. It was the lead single from their album Green River reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and #1 on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks in September 1969. The song has been recorded by at least 20 different artists, in styles that range from acoustic folk to reggae to psychedelic rock to zydeco. Sonic Youth named an entire album after it. [edit]Common mondegreen A common mondegreen of the last line is “There’s a bathroom on the right”. (The correct line is “There’s a bad moon on the rise”.) Fogerty himself has been known to occasionally substitute the “bathroom” version of the lyric as a joke during his live shows, including on his 1998 live album Premonition.
