So what is the best song about the moon? Take a listen and decide…



Pros: 1st movement sounds like it’s about to kick off, innit?
Cons: No bass, pesky 2nd movement you have to wait until the 3rd movement which is a real banger.



Pros: sounds like the waves are washing over you
Cons: this is talkbass, not talkpiano



Pros: finally some bass, but it is an upright. Plus, the song really rocks, and it’s Elvis.
Cons: Not the original, but this one slaps a lot harder. Get it? Because of the rockabilly style upright? Ha!



Pros: check out the bass intro. Yeah, not bass guitar or upright, but he’s still family. Like a distant cousin or something.
Cons: once you realize Clapton lifted the melody for the guitar solo in White Room, you can never un-hear it.



Pros: it’s not Brown Eyed Girl, and it has a nice bass groove
Cons: not jazz, but “jazzy”



Pros: this song represents the best of the 70s. I know you’re about to say something about Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath, but you’re wrong. Seriously smooth, with a great groove, and enough complexity to elevate it above other AM radio hits.
Cons: was covered by some horrible band named Toploader. I mean serious, it sucks worse than if Smashmouth covered Ave Maria. Also, the story of the event that inspired the writing of this song is absolutely horrible - not even going to hint at it, except to say that it’s amazing that such a beautiful song can come as a result of something so horrible.

none of the above....Walking on the Moon by the Police

Did it bite your sister once?

She was carving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush.

It might be a guilty pleasure, but I am not ashamed to say I do love this song:

I wouldn't begin to say this one is the "best" moon song, but it's one I've always enjoyed. George Harrison responding to his own "Here Comes The Sun".
