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".

Yes they were very popular, extremely popular, global world wide popular, in countless movies popular, still on the radio 10 times a day popular, this band is soooo good!

[@ronaldstokes4841]

Did you mention how good they were?

[@Weird_Old_Uncle_Kenny]

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!

[@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.

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.

[@alyzauch7117]

Jamel I have watched a few more reaction people,but I now only watch you,you listen to the words you pick up the meaning to the songs and you not sitting on a chairs your up there and moving, you are loving the good music of out time and you really care,keep up the great work you are awesome,I’m watching from Adelaide South Australia loving your work

[@buckleymordecai9605]

The beauty and effectiveness of this song is the variance between the melody/beat and the words. The melody/beat is upbeat! The words are apocalyptical.

[@jayedwards1205]

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

[@SpaceCattttt]

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

[@dianagerding8541]

[@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.

I was born in 1955 so grew up with amazing music. The 60s and 70s were my thing but there have been a few surprises after that. Two of my favourites are Dr Feelgood - Roxette and Big River - Jimmy Nail (with Mark Knopfler playng guitar) I hope you can find time to listen to these.

[@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.

[@55judylw]

Talkin bout my generation! I was in 8th grade when I heard this song for the first time. My brother was in the army getting ready to ship out to Vietnam. I get tears in my eyes just thinking about it.

[@TheCabIe]

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.

[@donivanpotter2762]

My favorite song. Always plays on the radio when I want to hear it. Dumb luck. I died last August, doctors brought me back after 6 minutes. It's weird knowing I was dead and gone from this world for a little while. I didn't even know I died. I remember telling a nurse that I thought I was going to pass out. She said she handed me paperwork to transfer me to another hospital and I looked at her and said I don't think I'll be needing that. She said I passed out and died. Alone in the hospital on life support for two months. Remember a nurse mixing my medicine and using the purple container on the wall. When I was finally able to communicate I asked about the purple container why the nurses only used the pink solution to mix my medicine but one nurse used the purple one. He asked did a nurse mix my medicine with the purple container contents. I said yeah. He said that was poison. Remember a nurse saying I was going to go to hell. I was unconscious but I was fading in and out I just couldn't get anyone's attention. I had my arms tied down to prevent me from moving. I was on life support and I had open heart surgery and my chest was cut open and moving would make it heal wrong. And I couldn't speak either. Even after I woke up to where doctors noticed I couldn't talk for another three weeks. For two weeks I was unable to move. I'm glad I survived just so I can hear good music , talk with friends and see pretty scenery. I no longer feel like me, after coming back this world seems different. Nothing tastes good anymore. I have a sense that nothing in the world matters. I know life is precious, it should be enjoyed as much as possible. Money, power, religion none of that stuff matters. When you go you just take yourself and nothing else. I still love bad Moon rising I'm just thankful I got to hear it again.
