Best song about the moon

[Mysterion]

A lot of great entries already!

 

[Steveaux]

 

[RickHarto]

Lua Soberana-- Sergio Mendes

 

[Walk The Dogs]

All great songs but the first four that popped into my head weren't on the pick list.

Virginia Moon by Dave Grohl and Nora Jones:


Moonlight in Vermont by Basie w/Sara Vaughn


Old Devil Moon by Tony Bennett


How High The Moon by Les Paul & Mary Ford.

 

[Rob Edmunds]

"Bright Moon, shed your light moon, on the one I love tonight moon" - Has "moon" three times in the first line! As a Hokie have to give a shout out to this one. (VPI is now Va Tech, of course)
As a member of the Techmen Glee Club we sang this at every ring dance. (I was a bass, so it's relevant, right?)
Fred Waring never saw the campus.

I was surprised to find this gem from an earlier version of the choir

 

[Lenny Nichols]

I cannot name the "best" song about the moon. Same Old Moon is my favorite:

 

[Spooky88]

I’m a bit bias but I’ll present this song for consideration. I recorded it with a Tascam DR40 and a pair of stereo telefunken TF47 microphones live at a local bar. This is one guy singing and playing, no looper no sequencer.

 

[EVerderame]

Shy moon - Caetano Veloso

 

[Ken sokolowski]

 

[AboutBass]

Moon Song by Bob Schneider is a great song about the moon

 

[aomu]

Max Webster's:
Coming Off the Moon,
In Context of the Moon,
Beyond the Moon,
and Moon Voices.

 

[Jabba the bass]

Meet you at the moon… Imelda May….

 

[Greywoulf]

Les Paul's guitar work on this is absolutely stunning!!

 

[aiaosu]

Moonshine by Free..I've always liked Andy Fraser's sound and playing

 

[BhamGeo]

Doors Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) Not greatest but a favorite when a teenager coming of age.

 

[Victor ODell]

FULL MOON RISING by Creek Life

Use headphones or speakers to hear bass.

 

[Victor ODell]

Not specifically MOON-related but SPACE: Journey To The Edge Of Forever by Creek Life

Use headphones or speakers to hear bass.

 

[OldPlucker]

Some more contenders:

Of those I lean towards Man On The Moon

 

[SamBassPlayer]

Rathergood - We Like The Moon

For personal reasons, this is my favorite moon song.

Please don't post it if you're not going to let us see it.
