John Fogerty said in an interview with Rolling Stone that he got the imagery from an old movie he watched called The Devil and Daniel Webster (1941). He wanted the apocryphal feel of impending doom, but it wasn't until the band was actually learning the song that he realized he'd set it to a finger-snapping happy-sounding tune. He said that dichotomy didn't bother him at the time so he left it.

[@HenryInHawaii]

I was a Navy nurse so didn't get home very often. I was home visiting my mom in Scranton, PA, and took her for a ride in the country. It was a gorgeous Fall day and I had a little red Honda del Sol. We drove down country roads with the top off and I put on my Creedence cassette. She went nuts and just loved it. We were driving around singing this at the top of our lungs. Never thought she'd love Creedence so much. She was into Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves! Great memory! Appreciate you:-)

[@ManicSalamander]

The song sounds like it is about the apocalypse. It was Vietnam time, and young people, including CCR, had a very negative outlook on how things were going. This went hand and hand with the Hippies, who were so hopeless about how things were going that they all got high, joined communes, ran them poorly, and did their best to make a new kind of good life for themselves. This was also within a year after the Robert Kennedy (1968), Martin Luther King (1968), and four years after the Malcolm X (1965) assassination. The Kent State Massacre happened in 1970, the year after this song. A lot of good people being killed here too, not just in Vietnam.

[@thorsluter7835]

I always thought this song was more about nuclear arms proliferation, but that actually ties in with what your'e saying, it makes sense that it would be about the general discontent of the era.

[@stevim2595]

It’s about the Vietnam war and how full moons were called bad moons. Full moons light up the night like it’s day time making it hard to hide from the enemy.

[@LesterMoore]

My last night in Vietnam, USMC (I'd been promoted to radio chief of my company and as such was in a sandbagged compound surrounded by concertina wire, minefield, tanglefoot and fougasse. I was listening to Radio Danang and Bad Moon Rising by Creedence was being played. On the third chorus of "theres a bad moon on the rise" a pair of B-40 RPG's hit and the ground attack by VC and NVA began. We had a 4 deuce battery manned by troopers of the 101st. It quickly became a time of immense concern. With the assistance of gunships and Marine/Army Airborne coordination we beat them off just as they had half overrun our position. I shall never forget this song as it will always remind me of that night, early morning.

[@jeffhelgesen5623]

Try Proud Mary. You covered Tina doing it, but it’s a CCR song. They also do a good version of Midnight Special.

[@domeschool4391]

I think this song was a metaphor for the times which felt apocalyptic- which included the assassinations of President Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, but mostly the Vietnam War which divided the country and there was a feeling of doom- especially for those who served in Vietnam, knowing they could die at any time. By the way, I love your reactions, they are fresh and genuine. Your true emotions bring back the feelings of hearing these songs years ago. Much love.

CCR was around the time of the Vietnam war and Watergate.

[@jonm1114]

You are right about them coming from California. CCR came out of the San Francisco music scene, but there is no question that they embraced a southern sound and southern scenes in their music. If you were born on the bayou, you are in the south! Check out "Proud Mary", "Suzie Q", and their cover of "Heard It Through the Grapevine" -- all excellent CCR standards. Also, when you do any CCR song, you may find there is a shorter single version and a longer album version. Make sure you do the longer album versions as the real highlight of many CCR songs are the long instrumental jams they do, and the shorter versions that were edited for the little 45rpm single records are just not the same without those instrumentals.

[@vickiemather1223]

Born 1960 I was too young to see Creedence unfortnately but have seen solo John Fogerty on every trip to the fair city of Adelaide, South Australia (2 times, maybe 3?). He had to squeeze so many hit songs into one show (so no one was disappointed) that he played a bunch of them in a big medley. A fantastic and prolific songwriter.

[@topgazza]

California boys but heavy, natural southern leanings in their music. This song is about bad mysterious things that happen. Spooked swamp stuff to me. To continue the theme, Run Through The Jungle by them is brilliant and atmospheric. John has since said many times that it’s about the proliferation of guns in the States. Not Vietnam as was often thought

[@Spiritbro77]

It's about Nam. Often times what artists tell you is half true. Run through the jungle in the 60's meant Nam. That it ALSO meant here is probably accurate. It's saying trouble is on the way, things are about to get crazy and they did. I was a kid but I remember all of that. Especially Kent State because I live about 35 miles from there give or take. Seeing flag draped coffins on the TV every night coming back from Nam. Crazy days indeed.

[@topgazza]

@@Spiritbro77 Sorry Spirit it’s not about Nam John has consistently stated including in his autobiography that the song is about there being too many guns. It often gets linked with Vietnam pictures when played on KZbin and that fine but it’s an incorrect association from John’s perspective. Jungle being US streets in this case.

[@michaelmacdermott6340]

CCR's musical style encompassed roots rock, swamp rock, blues rock, Southern Rock, country rock, and blue-eyed soul. Belying their origins in the East Bay subregion of the San Francisco Bay Area, the band often played in a Southern rock style, with lyrics about bayous, catfish, the Mississippi River, and other elements of Southern United States iconography. The band's songs rarely dealt with romantic love, concentrating instead on political and socially conscious lyrics about topics such as the Vietnam War. John Fogerty explained that the lyrics of "Bad Moon Arising" were inspired by a movie called The Devil And Daniel Webster, in which a hurricane wipes out most of a town. This is where he got the idea for the words "I feel the hurricane blowin', I hope you're quite prepared to die." Overall, he said the song is about the "apocalypse that was going to be visited upon us."

[@TheJoshuaPimentel]

And it’s wild that they pretty much despised each other and managed to make legendary music.

[@smspirate]

My ex-hubby's best friend at that time was Mr. Fogarty's attorney. They were all East Bay boys, and served together in Vietnam. There was a major issue with copyrights and a few other things that destroyed the band. The attorney committed suicide over the bad stuff that went down... Hubby still has the beautiful calligraphy drawing he gave to him, that quotes Shakespeare (Henry VI) "First thing, let's kill all the lawyers."

All bands do not have to sound exactly the same for it to be the same genre, just look at how varied rock within it's genre can be or pop. Southern Rock also isn't directions to where a person lives. That's just silly. There is no swamp rock genre, although the term swamp rock does describe the sound of several of their songs like born on the bayou. John fogerty even stated that he was considered his music rock, and went on to say that several of his songs (he mentioned three) were swamp rock.

Even their covers of songs like "I Put A Spell On You" which their version on their "Chronicles" album is my favorite version of anyone's so far, well Annie Lennox's version is right there by it IMO, & I've heard so many covers and versions of that song but theirs just shines brighter for me! Also they're covers of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" is terrific. If we're talking CCR songs, some of the greatest are: (in no specific order or ranking):.... "Long As I Can See The Light" (Put A Candle In The Window) "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" "Lodi" "Who'll Stop The Rain" "Green River" "Proud Mary" (their Version) "Someday Never Comes" "Run Through The Jungle" "Looking Out My Backdoor" (that one would be cute for the kids, since it was written bc of his son and from the viewpoint of a child's imagination, altho I thought forever it was written from just a trippie hippie experience (😉wink, wink😏)

[@pauldondero2888]

I would say you you took the words right out of my mouth,but for the fact that I'm not as articulate as you....Im in agreement with your song list and the rest of your comment tanx

[@dustyhead3126]

"Centerfield" is a main stay on playlist. Any time I need a smile, I can put it on and just puts you in better mood

[@christianmattison6096]

Yes, Center Field - you definitely need to check it out!

[@scuppernog1]

Speaking of iconic voices that you will never forget and recognize immediately, Molly Hatchet will give you some in your face southern rock with Danny Joe Brown belting the vocals like you've never heard. Unless you have of course, hah. "Flirtin With Disaster" is probably their biggest hit and still my favorite of theirs. Thanks

[@brettwoodward]

Sweet hitchhiker by CCR is one of my faves!

[@mattshaw6180]

"Long As I Can See the Light" is the CCR song you should hit next. Other reactors have missed it, it's bluesy as can be, and....saxophone!

[@RandomPau]

Always like a sax solo and this song has a great one.

[@cjpew]

agree, has always been one of my CCR favorites

[@TheJoshuaPimentel]

100% and Wrote A Song For Everyone.

[@ginog1398]

Great song

[@rickkane7913]

If I'm not mistaken, it's the one and only JC Fogerty on sax and electric piano!

[@stevenschmidt3464]

Got to listen to "Proud Mary", "Have you ever seen the rain", "Out my back door", "Run through the jungle". All great CCR songs and yes they are from a more in land area of California

[@karlsmith2570]

I'm also following Jamel AKA Jamal and I seem to remember he had also reacted to this song as well There's one line in this song "There's A Bad Moon On The Rise" which is very often misinterpreted as "There's A Bathroom On The Right" (Largely contributed to John Fogerty's singing style)

[@elliotthedissident6077]

Song is becoming more prophetic and ominous every time I hear it these days!

[@baseballjustin5]

"There's a bathroom on the right" There's a Bad Moon on the rise" That's the main line you'll hear people mix up lol

[@kevinmauch5622]

I knew someone would point out this gem. You must play in band.

[@jackielouise7538]

Ever since I heard someone say that they thought that line was "There's a bathroom on the right", that's all I can hear now every time 😁

[@genataylor460]

For years I thought that was what they were saying, and could not figure why.

[@jackedwards7420]

Oh, Oh, Oh; I just realized you haven't done a reaction to CCR's "Looking Out My Backdoor" !!! That is a must see LIVE song!

[@rmw9669]

So many good tunes from this band. Travelin band is great too.

[@ambrabridges2161]

He sounds like a fire and brimstone preacher at a revival, talking about the end times. Revivals generally are upbeat despite the message of "The End Is Near!" CCR was one of my late dad's favorite groups; he even made me a mix tape of their songs when I was in college. I always think of him when I hear their music.

[@randydebower8240]

The juxtaposition of the doom and gloom lyrics against the bouncy happy feel of the music has always made this tune grab your attention! Musical Magic!!

[@Shari225]

CCR is indeed from Northern California - the San Francisco Bay Area - El Cerrito, to be specific. That's about a half-hour from the town I live in. The lead singer is John Fogerty. For years, I thought he was singing "There's a bathroom on the right"! 😄

[@carollflanery9723]

Me too!!!!

[@ponchohernandez2703]

I love ccr and John fogerty who's having a great solo career

[@johnmccarthy-behindtheveil]

CCR released 3 full albums in an incredible 18 month period. John Fogarty is a great song writer. He was sued by his brother and band mates. and was prevented from singing his own songs. But he won the suit. You should see him live.

[@jasonsabbath6996]

He was also sued for plagiarizing himself by the head of CCRs old record company! John Fogerty was done wrong by all sorts of people, but he keeps going and plays with his kids on his KZbin videos.

[@757optim]

Jamel is a cool dude. You're absolutely right. John "JC" Fogerty has a unique vocal sound and is a great musical artist.

[@rexholcomb2488]

Put a candle in the window- green river- someday never comes- all amazing songs

[@brendaotoole4012]

Long as I Can See the Light by them is just beautiful!!!!

[@johndunkelberger8431]

Loved the song when it was released. Fun to dance to. Loved it again in the movie 'An American Werewolf in Londen' as the full moon came out and he changed into the wolf.

[@debrahirshfield6997]

John Fogerty is the lead singer. They are from Berkeley, California. Bay Area. My dad knew them!

[@John_Chu]

Born in Berkeley but grew up in El Cerrito, about 6 miles north. And close to Richmond where I grew up!

[@debrahirshfield6997]

@@John_Chu right. I figured more people might have heard of Berkeley. My dad owned a gas station at Solono and Colusa in Berkeley. CCR recorded not far from his station and they would come to his station. I was born in Richmond, too!

[@chasingbirds3073]

John Fogerty is the singer. I was fortunate to see him in concert about 15 years ago in Denver when he opened for John Mellencamp. Both were amazing. If you haven't yet, you should react to John Mellencamp. "Jack and Diane" or "Little Pink Houses" are both great songs.

[@ddiamondr1]

Wow that would’ve been a great concert!

[@velvetplatz1024]

I saw that same concert....but in Kamloops, BC, Canada.

[@cathyhinz2321]

We saw Fogarty and Mellencamp in Houston. I personally think that Fogarty blew Mellencamp away! But, yes, Jack and Diane is one of my favorites.

[@frankmastroianni2501]

still need to hear I Put a Spell on You -- I Heard It Through the Grapevine Also a Huge #1 hit by Marvin Gaye

[@wolf1066]

Years ago, I belonged to a club where we could take turns performing covers of songs on stage in front of other members, friends, family, anyone interested in turning up to just listen and enjoy the music. Bad Moon Rising was one of the songs I enjoyed performing. One day the club secretary came up and said, "you're up next, right? Are you doing a fast song?" I said "of course" and she replied, "thank god! The audience is starting to fall asleep!" - the current performer was performing a soft, slow song, as had a number of the previous performers, and even the backing band was looking a bit bored. So I went out on stage when the singer had finished and I swear our lead guitarist had an evil gleam in his eye as I stepped up to the microphone... when the opening chords of Bad Moon Rising ripped out through the speakers, half of the audience jumped in shock. Certainly woke them up. Really love this song.

[@revaflowers3115]

John has had a great solo career after he separated from CCR.Long As I Can See The Light is also one of my favorites by them.I was born in California and it always tickles me when CCR and John get mistaken for a southern group.

[@KebabMusicLtd]

The entire Cosmos Factory album which includes 'Long As I Can See The Light,' 'Up Around The Bend,' 'Who'll Stop The Rain'... excuse me whilst I go and put it on the turn-table.

[@donjenkins3861]

Credence is from El Cerritos California, just outside of San Francisco. They actually formed in 1959 as The Blue Velvets, of course later changing their name. They actually played at Woodstock in 1969. They only lasted until 1972 because of internal fighting of the group. 🤔😎

[@bryanwood1004]

CCR- I put a spell on you. John Fogerty really wails in this one, it could be your new favorite Credence tune. You'll just have to check it out and see.😉

[@mariannemabie9274]

Especially since we know it is a fam fav of theirs (Angelina Jordan reaction)

[@pakawanmalayavech101]

Amazing beautiful fabulous fantastic and great performance.🎈💐👍🌷🌺🌹🎼🎸🕺🎤💃🎺🎻🎷

[@SebGeddy]

John Fogerty is one of the best singer-songwriters in rock history, period. Will always love him

[@dustinsdesertheirloomgarde5999]

Great song. Their song Suzie Q is also super awesome (my favorite)

[@alexakl6445]

Two different things I think about hearing this song. 1) I think of the movie, "American Werewolf in London" (early 80s) and they played this at some point and it was perfect. 2) That this song goes well with what's goin on THESE days even more so than when it came out. Love CCR!

[@alexakl6445]

@@75Isobel I thought so too and then I looked it up. They played "Bad Moon Rising" that same evening before he turned into a werewolf for the first time. He was in the apartment alone, pacing back and forth because he was nervous about the full-moon when they were playing the song. When he turned into the werewolf, they played "Blue Moon". Great movie!

[@edh7071]

FYI: Back in the day we just called them by their first name, "Creedence." (Or, if we were being a little formal, "Creedence Clearwater." NEVER NEVER NEVER "CCR." --- Piece of trivia... this song is one of the earliest instances of "Misheard Lyrics." I can't tell you how many times (especially after a few drinks) we'd be singing "There's the bathroom on the right!"

[@michaelkaiser1263]

Fogerty knew about that and included it for fun into live shows by really singing "there's a bathroom on the right"

[@Looneyintheboonies]

Man, that's funny! 🤣

[@pvthitch]

Especially when heard on a cheap AM radio like I first heard it.

[@rebeccalitchfield6698]

I called him CCR

[@55EileenDaniel]

When I first heard the song many moons ago, I was belting out that misheard lyric at the top of my lungs!!

[@jeffdickens9556]

I love that guy too

[@runninamok2003]

"there's a bathroom on the right!" lol. Still one of my favorite CCR songs.

[@topgazza]

Just a classic pop /rock song that’s become iconic

[@kolchak357]

Try John Fogerty’s Old Man Down The Road. He’s the lead singer from CCR. Is a cool song off one of his solo albums.

[@donjenkins3861]

John Fogerty the lead singer and founder of CCR, has his own KZbin channel and still Rocks with his Kids as his back up group! He's in his late 70s but still Rocks! 🤔🤔🤗😎

[@timotc50]

Another group that played the soundtrack of my childhood.😎👍

[@kenkirchner8274]

Love it ! Im 60 years old. Steppenwolf , Three Dog Night , Jethro Tull late 60's to mid 70's are the best hippie years

[@tiramisu2506]

Lead singer is John Fogerty. He has released some good solo albums too, under his name. Centerfield is the one that come to mind now, with the song The Old Man Down the Road, and others…

[@yelnek4548]

Old Man Down The Road is a great song

[@leonabarad6972]

I love CCR! This song is about werewolves. LOL. Just kidding. It was used in the movie "An American Werewolf in London" and I always think of that scene. Anyway, yes, they are a California band. John Fogerty is the lead singer and songwriter. I think he wrote this song based on an apocalyptic movie.

[@flirtydirty24]

Yup, agree, think of American Werewolf in London every single time I here this song, great movie for its time, chilling as a kid watching.

[@papamaniac2410]

I remember it in Twilight Zone the Movie.

[@Glittersword]

@@flirtydirty24 Same here, it was the perfect song for a werewolf movie. That movie also had one of the best transformation scenes.

[@LarryHatch]

They always play this before a hurricane strike in the Carolinas. Gets you in the mood!

Just what you need. Cannot imagine how I could keep sane with, it seems to me, never ending storms and hurricanes. So stressful.
