Worst 70s song vs. worst 80s song: which is worse? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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" !

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.

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.
