Bad Moon Rising (Creedence Clearwater Revivial CCR) - Acapella cover

Bad Moon Rising, the Creedence Clearwater Revival CCR hit song, arranged and sung with a barbershop flavor for this Halloween special!
► SUPPORT MY ART: / trudbol
► MY WEBSITE: julienneel.com
The tune was released in the 1969 swamp / country rock album Green River, and has been featured in many films, including An American Werewolf in London. Fun fact: Bad Moon Rising has become notably popular in Argentina as a soccer chant.
I hope you enjoy this Halloween a cappella cover!
--- LYRICS
I see the bad moon arising
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightning
I see bad times today
Don't go around tonight
Cause it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
I hear hurricanes (a)blowing
I know the end is coming soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear my voice is out of tune (changed lyrics here for fun!)
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye

i laughed out load when I saw an Imperial Death Star, a bad moon, at the end. Great voice and sense of humor.

[@JulienNeel]

Thanks Arthur! I had a bad feeling about this... ;)

[@CWMdeschepper]

@@JulienNeel Will the complete Imperial March be next? I'd buy that in a second.

[@isaactimmins8959]

That ain't no moon........it's a space station

[@mrhacks607]

your voice is beautiful just like the songs you choose

[@JulienNeel]

Thank you! :)

[@TherealDanielleNelson]

As a CCR fan I loved it! It was amazing.

[@JulienNeel]

Right on! Thanks :)

[@horvathgaborne301]

Oh! It was a favorite of soldiers fighting in Vietnam. I loved it too. I'm waiting for your version. It makes me happy to hear your voice! I hope the moon will predict happier times !! You touched my heart .

[@JulienNeel]

Thank you, Violet! I hope you'll enjoy this new release. Hope you are well.

[@thrillscience]

You mean it's not "there's a bathroom on the right?"

[@JulienNeel]

I read that Fogerty would sometimes actually sing those lyrics in concerts, for kicks ;)

[@kamelhaj6850]

Il y'est des toilettes sur la droit?

What is there even to say. Amazing as usual. If only barbershop was more popular, this guy would have tons and tons of views

[@JulienNeel]

Aww thank you for your kind comment, I appreciate it. You are welcome to drop $1 in my tip jar if you'd like. :)

This is my entire 2020 mood. Thanks for uploading!

[@JulienNeel]

Same here. Feels like it's March 132nd over here... Stay safe and keep on singing!

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

It's my 2022 mood, despite the year being over in 8 hours

[@Iloveyusomuch]

Awesome cover as always. Honestly i would kill to see you sing "I'm a member of the Midnight Crew"

[@JulienNeel]

Thanks! I'll look into it.

[@woutmoerman711]

Great arrangement and voice!! I played this song in my band 35 years ago and still love it!

[@sonyahannah]

Eeeeek! You've frightened us properly for Halloween. What a unique arrangement, Julien, clever and euphonious, and your voice just keeps getting better -- not at all "out of tune." Thank you for this treat at "trick or treat" time.

[@rae.azrael]

What a twist at the end there!

[@JulienNeel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@rae.azrael]

@@JulienNeel Always!

[@ItalianMancraft]

I was not expecting this song but am so glad you covered it. Always a pleasure to watch and listen to your singing!

One of my all time favourite renditions of this song! Amazing musical arrangement and skill of the vocal performance, such clean harmonies.

[@dwwolfe1]

Great arrangement and singing!

Thank you!

[@alexcadwish]

Très cool ce soir!

[@OldMysticFantasist]

Interesting arrangement. The modulation was a pleasant surprise & nicely done.

[@sebastianhartung4407]

this is exceptional in and of itself! that bass though... like warm milk and honey

[@JulienNeel]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

can you do the American dad theme plz?

[@JulienNeel]

Sure, I'll look into it. Hope you enjoy this release.

[@christinecharpentier2999]

Coucou, Julien! Je reviens vers toi, to tell you that I like so much ta version de blackbird que je la préfère à celle des Kingsingers!!! Quel bonheur de pouvoir listen to you just on the very day of this bloody useless and harmful confinement ! Fond regards! Christine

[@JulienNeel]

Merci Christine. On a tous besoin de se détendre, chanter et rire un peu en ces temps difficiles. Je suis heureux de pouvoir apporter ma pierre à l'édifice avec ces chansons. A tout-à-l'heure, en musique !

[@manxkin]

Ce n'est pas une lune! Happy Halloween Julien. Thanks for another tune.

[@bryanrendleman2001]

Missed opportunity to make you look like the barbershop quartet statues from Haunted Mansion. Other than that, excellent job! 😊 And the end was the best twist! 😂

[@JulienNeel]

I just came over from the whole new worlds song by acapella science and I am quite glad to have followed the link and found your channel. I love the acapella version!

[@lateherald924]

Excellent voice Mister. I can't believe you keep uploading videos and still have that great voice. Your "Come Go With Me (Del-Vikings)" video is my favorite. It is a jewel. Greetings to you :'')

[@JulienNeel]

Thanks! I plan on continuing making these a cappella videos as long as I can. :) And wow, Come Go With Me goes back, what? 10 years!?

[@lateherald924]

I haven’t heard this song in ages. I like this song. Good job!!!

[@auntiesash]

That was great, however you are the least spooky person ever. As you sang about dark moons & hurricanes, I was thinking "ok - that sounds fun!" {The postlude was pretty cool & spooky. Comme Magritte a dit, "Ceci n'est pas une lune." }

[@MethosUSMC]

Fantastic

[@giuseppeleone9729]

Which software are you used to use to make video like this? I need to create a four-voice music-video and so there'd be four screens with four registrations. I need to put four registrations screen in one screen, not more, and put together the audio parts with a good mix. Could you advise me about? If the software were free it'd be the best thing

[@jackmandu]

I really enjoyed that one, including the lighting. Although, I have to say that I hoping at least one time you would have just held a flashlight under your chin for the spooky/comedic effect. 😁

[@JulienNeel]

Thanks! I did do the flashlight below the chin lighting (at 0:19 in the middle, for instance), perhaps it didn't turn out right?

[@jackmandu]

@@JulienNeel - It turned out great, but I hoping to actually see the flashlight in the shot, if only for for the comedic effect itself. No worries, though, it was another in a line of great songs.
