Which song is bad: Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest (1972) or That's What Friends Are For by Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder and Elton John?

To me both songs are awful bc Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest brainwashed people with their smut and That's What Friends Are For by Warwick and friends is very depressing.

What do you think?

I love " Dancing in the moonlight" so I voted for " That's what friends are for" !

Thats what friends are 4!!

Part of me wishes that King Harvest would be banished from SiriusXM forever.

I prefer Rod Stewart's original over Dionne & Friends so I voted for it. I don't hate "Dancing in the Moonlight", but I like it more than "That's What Friends are for".

Dancing in the Moonlight sucks in general. I wish it never existed to begin with.

I like both songs

Look nysfboy, it's fine you don't like Dancing in the Moonlight, but saying "it never existed to begin with" comes too far. You're not forced to listen to it anyways. Just find something else.

I love the Dionne Warwick duet. My most favorite part is Stevie Wonder's first lines: "Well, you came and opened me and now there's so much more I see and so by the way, I thank you!" :) :) :)

God bless you and each singer of the song always!!!

I have no problem with either of them. "Dancing In The Moonlight" is a cute, peppy little tune that happens to be one of the first songs I ever remember loving. I was barely six years old when it came out, and it's still one of my all-time favorites. As for "Friends...", I consider that one a very heartfelt, touching ballad with some great performances from all artists involved, and it was done for a worthy cause.

Dancing In The Moonlight


This song envisions a place of joy and harmony, where everyone gets along dancing under the moonlit sky. It was written by the keyboard player/songwriter Sherman Kelly in 1969 after a trip to the Caribbean island of Saint Croix, where he was attacked by natives and left for dead.

Dancing In The Moonlight is the best song ever written about the subject of dancing in the moonlight.

Does nysfboy328@aim.c have an alibi?

And here I thought this thread was going to be about Disco Duck by Rick Dees.

That’s the best song ever that’s about a duck who’s into disco.

What do you think about the song "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck?

Its good.........

What do you think about the song "Moonlight Feels Right" by Starbuck?

Dancing In The Moonlight is a top notch hit tune from the 1970's.

Moonlight Feels Right from 1976 is a good one also. Starbuck followed it up in 1977 with another good tune, Everybody Be Dancin. This one wasn't quite as popular on the charts but it's still a worthy tune and has some similarities to Dancing In The Moonlight.

Neither of them are worse

Huh?I don't get it.What are you talking about?:confused:Someone enlighten me please?:confused:

Both the Moonlight songs are good ones. I've always liked the King Harvest one from the early 70s.

Evidently the original Perception records stereo version has become rare. Here it is (sorry, ny--just don't listen!):

It was sad when they left the music business to start selling coffee.

I like both also, but this is by far my favorite Moonlight song.

I have the vinyl 45 on the Perception label but it's a mono recording.

There is also a re-issue 45 of Dancing In The Moonlight on the Janus records label that has Ian Thomas' Painted Ladies on the reverse side, but I believe that one is mono also.

For those who want to listen, below is a link to Starbuck's Everybody Be Dancin. I like this tune nearly as much as Moonlight Feels Right.

I guess it was stereo only on the LP. That was a time period when some 45s were still mono only.

Painted Ladies is an underrated song.

Moonlight Shadow is great--had not heard it. Speaking of "Shadow"--

The marimba solo on Starbuck's "Moonlight Feels Right" is so good & memorable; like other non-musicians like me, I'd believed it was a xylophone, but there's a difference. There have been interviews out there, it took quite some time for the song to begin getting airplay.

I guess it was stereo only on the LP. That was a time period when some 45s were still mono only.

Painted Ladies is an underrated song.

I think by the mid 1970's, the majority of 45 RPM records were stereo pressings. In the early 1970's, mono pressings were still fairly common.

Painted Ladies is a good tune, it sounds like a song the band America could have recorded, it has A Horse With No Name/Ventura Highway vibe to it. Ian Thomas is the brother of Dave Thomas from SCTV.

It was sad when they left the music business to start selling coffee. :lol:

The coffee company was founded in 1971, the Starbuck band was formed in 1974.

They're closer then I thought. I always think the coffee one started sometime in the '80s.

I didn't start becoming aware of Starbucks Coffee until sometime in the 1990's. I think it was in the late 1980's, around 1987, when they started branching out from the Seattle area.

Nothing better then sipping on some Starbucks while listening to some Starbuck.

Actually I've never acquired a taste for coffee but I enjoy tea. Hot tea in the winter time and cold/iced tea in the summer time.
