Dancing in the Moonlight




Last month, liwaliw Sounds featured songs from the Year-end Billboard Hot 100 of my birth year, and I only got as far as the 31st in rank (i.e. "Shambala" by Three Dog Night). Still a long way to the 100th in rank, so I decided to continue the selection this month.

So, the 36th from the list is "Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Harvest, released as a single in 1972 (ranked in the Hot 100 that year and the next).
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
I heard the revival cover first, by Toploader, released first in 2000. I had it downloaded on Limewire. (remember that?) I had a housemate then who got so obsessed with this version that he played my Limewire download back as much as he could.
