Lyrics:
We get it almost every night
When that moon is big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose they keep it tight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight

If you want a sad story, look up what the original song was written about. It's awful.

[@xXErnestoZedillo1994Xx]

@@martyflipman4737 what was written about?

[@martyflipman4737]

@xXErnestoZedillo1994Xx " Sherman Kelly and some friends were running a nightclub in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, in 1969. One day, they decided to rent a 65-foot yacht and travel to St. Croix for the day. Unbeknownst to him at the time, Kelly was prone to seasickness, and he and his girlfriend got really seasick on the crossing. When the group arrived in St. Croix, those onboard took a dingy to shore to look for some dinner. But Kelly and his girlfriend were both still sick and weren’t interested in eating at that point. The group got its food and decided to head back to the boat to spend the night. Kelly and his girlfriend looked out into the harbor and saw the boat’s mast swaying back and forth, and instead opted to stay in town overnight rather than risk more seasickness on the boat. There was only one problem: Due to his extreme seasickness and disorientation, Kelly had left his wallet on the boat and had no money or credit cards for a hotel. The two went to a small inn, explained the situation to the innkeeper and offered to settle up in the morning when Kelly could return to the boat to retrieve his wallet. “And he said, ‘Sure, you can stay here if your girlfriend will sleep with me,’” said Kelly in a telephone interview from his home in the Finger Lakes region of New York. After being turned down at a second inn, Kelly’s girlfriend said, “It’s a beautiful night. Why don’t we just stretch out on the beach?” “So we did,” said Kelly. “And that’s all I remember very clearly.” What happened after that was pieced together through bits of Kelly’s own memory and the recollections of other people. According to those accounts, while sleeping on the beach, Kelly and his girlfriend were the victims of a vicious St. Croix street gang. Kelly was severely beaten by five gang members wielding baseball bats. His girlfriend was raped by the gang leader and the rest were in line. But Kelly’s girlfriend later reported, that Kelly regained consciousness during the attack and fought back, making enough noise to scare off the attackers. With Kelly drifting in and out of consciousness, the two managed to follow the lights along the shore, eventually making their way to the only St. Croix hospital. Kelly and his girlfriend were thought to be among the first victims of the notorious Fountain Valley Gang, who in 1972 murdered eight tourists and wounded eight more thereby devastating St. Croix tourism for many years. “I woke up to the sound of my hospital roommate screaming in pain. Finally the screaming stopped and I heard two doctors talking about him. ‘That’s it, he’s gone,’ said one doctor about the other patient. ‘What about him, you think he’s gonna make it?’ And the other doctor said, ‘No, I doubt it.” I realized they were talking about me,” said Kelly. Kelly did make it, though. He spent several days in the St. Croix hospital, eventually returning to St. Thomas, where he stayed at a friend’s house while he recovered. Eventually he was healthy enough to get back to New York, where doctors at New York Hospital were able to re-break and re-set the bones in his face and address his other injuries. Returning to his home in Ithaca, New York, still in pain and with constant headaches, Kelly was in no shape to be in a band. But that didn’t prevent him from writing songs. And it was during this period of convalescence that he began to write some verses for a song, verses that would later become the lyrics for “Dancing in the Moonlight.” “I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyous celebration of life. It was just me imagining a better world than the one I had just experienced in St. Croix,” said Kelly. An unspeakably traumatic experience that almost cost him his life had turned into a beautiful song. “It was amazing. People liked the song right from the start. I liked it, but I wouldn’t have predicted that it would become a big hit,” said Kelly. "

[@xXErnestoZedillo1994Xx]

@@martyflipman4737 alr, but you just could simply said that he based the song on his memories while in the hospital because of the attacks at st. Croix.

[@reas2147]

This is my favorite song because it's connected with a very precious memory from my childhood. My parents got divorced when I was 2 years old. I stayed with my mom and I saw my dad from time to time. Until I was 5 years old I saw him every 2 weeks and when I was 4 or 5 years old he listened to this song all the time on repeat. We listened to it while we were in his art studio and he was working on his projects and I was playing next to him and it was such a peaceful atmosphere. The older I got the more complicated my relationship to him got because he got depression and wasn't able to care for his children anymore. Later he died and at that time he became already something like a stranger for me even if I always loved him very much. So this song puts me always back to those moments where everything was peaceful and good.

I'm playing this as apart of a setlist in my band. Must say, the bass is very simple when you master your transitioning skills, same pattern goes through the whole song, yet there are so many improvised parts including fills, octaves, etc that make this song so much more interesting and unique, like you can play the same fill over and over as opposed to doing all the different ones the bass in this song does, and no one would even tell because it all sounds good.

This is exactly why it was written in the first place, in fact it's quite a sad story. Writer of the original, Sherman Kelly says; "On a trip to St. Croix in 1969, I was the first victim of a vicious gang who eventually murdered 8 American tourists. At that time, I suffered multiple facial fractures and wounds and was left for dead. While I was recovering, I wrote "Dancin In The Moonlight" in which I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life."

@Christopher Quintanilla, it never will be. In response to a fan on Twitter, Gunn revealed that there's one song that will never feature in a Guardians of the Galaxy film - "Dancing in the Moonlight," the 1972 hit by King Harvest

This was out when my son was 11 .And had a malignant brain tumour. We used to listen 👂 to it on he's portable cd player. In St James in leeds we are from hull. This was our happy song. And still is he's 33 now xx

[@skyrocketautomotive670]

Playing Driver on my PS1, late at night, this song on (very quietly) in the background, I had a silver venetian blind next to my cabin bed which let just enough light in from the streetlights to feel like I was in a hideout in a movie, I had a halogen desk lamp, and I'd snuck a can of coke upstairs as part of a midnight snack. Life was good. That opening riff takes me back to that exact, magical moment in 2001 every single time I hear it. Cheers Toploader for this absolute banger, it may not be the first version, but to me, it's irreplaceable
