There is a live version recorded by the lead singer John Fogerty, on the last verse he sings "there's the bathroom on the right".

[@candicescott7176]

That's what my friend's mother thought was the lyrics...apparently 10's of thousands thought so too.

[@ronbeck201]

"Gotta go real bad - Hope there's toilet paper - There's a bathroom on the right"

I always thought that's what the lyrics were until I got older lol

[@timomastosalo]

Often important info on a live concert.

[@Simon-jj2pu]

The Howard Stern concert, the drummer is incredible at that show

[@pcard10]

The tragedy was that their manager stole a lot of their money and had them sign away their writing credits. They decided to just stop writing and playing until the late 80=s when John Fogerty released some solo recordings.

[@robinstigator]

the song sounds poppy and fun, but he is singing about his fears, during wartime, civil rights fight, etc....nuclear war.....

[@Julianlesk]

I always thought it was about the Detroit riots, like the American written version of Black Day in July. Don't go around *tonight* makes it seem more time sensitive than the war.

CCR had an amazing run from 1968-1971...probably greatest singles band ever.... but it all dried up after Pendulum LP was released

Nah, they didn't dry up.They just decided that we didn't deserve any more classics.

[@oregonchick76]

You and I have the same favorite CCR songs! This may be my favorite, just because I love the juxtaposition of the dire lyrics with the happy, uptempo music. Green River, Lodi, Midnight Special, and Long as I Can See the Light round out my "Top 5" songs for this band -- great variety, lots of interesting lyrics, all of them perfect for blasting in the car on a road trip.

[@garykelly7422]

@@oregonchick76 I don't think they ever recorded a bad song,so many great classics. I saw John Fogerty last year with ZZ Top he still sounds great. 🎸He still has the guitar he played at Woodstock and brought it out for a few CCR classics. Hope you have a great day.

[@glennfarris305]

I put a spell on you was first done by Screamin Jay Hawkins.

The dichotomy between the funky groove of the melody and the lyrics creates this sort of surrealistic feeling, it fits perfectly in, for example, movie scenes when something dark is happening, but you want a certain lightheartedness at the same time.

[@Wolfdragon92584]

Songs like this prove that a band doesn't need distorted guitars or screaming to be heavy. It's the density of the music. This song hits me right in the chest whenever I blast it. Look at Miles Davis, look at Johnny Cash. They also exemplify my notion.

The line that refers to the song title at the end of each chorus is one of the most famous "mis-quoted lyrics" moments in rock and roll. "There's a bad moon on the rise" has been mis-quoted by SO many listeners as "There's a bathroom on the right". The singer John Fogerty continues the myth, jokingly. He pretty much sings the bathroom line at least once during the song when he plays it live!

[@brianwalley2131]

I love CCR. My favorite song of theirs is I Put a Spell on You

[@mb-ti3wn]

Whenever I hear this song, I think of a time, back in the 80's, and I was at the Tampa Fair. We came across a booth that had a TV screen showing VCR videos of people lip-singing. Turned out, you could pay to pick a song and go inside to record you and anyone with you, lip singing. They had some props, like a small drum set, guitars with no strings, etc. Well, we got to talking to a man and his family about, wouldn't it be fun to do that. So me, my boyfriend, Steve and the father's 3 boys, aged 11 to 16, picked this song. Steve bought, from a nearby booth, some cheap sunglasses for each of us to wear and in we went. When we came out, 2 copies of the taped video in hand, our performance was playing on the TV. It drew quite a crowd, with a great round of applause. Memorable moment, lol. Of course now, everyone takes videos of themselves singing and post them for the world to see.

[@jeffcobb2734]

This song was written in response to all the assassinations, Vietnam war protests, civil rights protests, etc. of the late 60s. Very tumultuous times. Easy to understand the lyrics from that perspective.
