I grew up on the great music of the 60's-70's. CCR has always been one of my favorites. They don't have a bad song! John Fogerty has one of the most unique & recognizable voices around. All their songs are great - "Proud Mary", "Born On The Bayou", "Bad Moon Rising", "Lodi", "Green River", "Commotion", "Night Time Is The Right Time", "Down On The Corner", "Fortunate Son", "Cotton Fields", "Midnight Special", "Travelin' Band", "Who'll Stop The Rain", "Up Around the Bend", "Run Through The Jungle", "Lookin' Out My Back Door", "Long As I Can See the Light", "Suzie Q", "I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "I Put A Spell On You", "Sweet Hitch-Hiker" etc.
You missed Molina, Hey, Tonight, Hideaway, It's Just a Thought, all from Pendulum, a very underrated and often overlooked CCR album (before Mardi Gras).
Please note, his voice was so much a part of CCR, that after the band broke up, when he tried to perform, the record company sued him for impersonating himself, and they won.
@@giuliogrifi7739 I've thought that too. It seems to be a song ahead of its time. When it came out, of course, these things were going on, but the flooding, the fires, the tornados, etc. are much more powerful nowadays.
@@alexakl6445 Yeah...other songs with the same topic: EVE OF DESTRUCTION 1965, IN THE YEAR 2525 1969, LONDON CALLING 1979, KOYAANISQUATSY (not just a song) 1982.....the end has never been hidden from us !
If Russia invades the Ukraine, China may take advantage of invading Taiwan. Taiwan has a protection treaty with the USA. This administration is corrupt, inept, and weak. It Taiwan falls, the world will be reliant on China for over 80% of its electronics. This includes computer chips for cars, hard drives, etc.
its a classic Vietnam song peaked in 69. It's about the thrill of living and the fear of dying in the jungles of Vietnam ... "is this the day?" Is this the day, I'm going to get it? One can only imagine what those soldiers must of felt during those heated skirmishes, and the post effects.
The moon has a lot to do with many things in nature, including animal movement and mating habits etc. Also the moon had a lot to do with farming and harvesting your crops in the old days.
My mother said the emergency room is always busy on a full moon. He really conveys a very ominous feeling. The gravitational pull of the moon is what causes the ocean tides.
@@xmathmanx did you ever work in the medical field?Not saying we were busier, we had more patients acting abnormal. Not just ER but patients on the floors acting out or odd. You ask anyone in the medical field and they will tell you that full moon nights are worse than other nights. I DGAS what the surveys or hard number statistics say, I was medical personnel for over 25 years and we know full moon nights can be the worst!
John Fogerty has been my musical hero ever since my mother introduced me to CCR in the early 70's when I was about 12. Through all the years my highest wish was to see him live one day and finally in 1998 my wish came true! It was a night I will never forget, he was on fire and played all my favourite songs! Love you John, always have and always will!
Review Summary: Green River is the first Creedence Clearwater Revival album to follow the band's brilliant formula that made them roots rock hitmakers and American icons. Creedence Clearwater Revival is the sound of hot, humid summer nights in the south sitting (or should I say “sittin’”) on the front porch and basking in the moonlight. The music seems to reflect life in the deep country backwoods with chugging rhythms, rock-steady beats and the vocal howl of John Fogerty as wild and free as the great outdoors. CCR turned out a string of roots rock hits that steered clear of many of the psychedelic music influences prevalent in the late ‘60s, and 1969’s Green River is widely considered to be the band’s first classic album. Clocking in at a mere 29 minutes, Green River shows the band moving away from the extended jam sessions of previous albums and focusing on the short, direct, radio-friendly hit without losing any of their roots rock steam. Opener “Green River” sets the scene for rural americana perfectly: “Walkin’ along the river road at night / Barefoot girls dancin’ in the moonlight.” Its infectious beats, rock-and-roll-meets-country-twang guitar riff and the celebration of country life over ruination in the big city are all prevalent throughout Green River. Namely, “Commotion” begins with a loud guitar riff and warm harmonica that make it one of the album’s best and a honky-tonk classic. Not surprisingly, one of the best songs on the album is the radio-staple “Bad Moon Rising.” A short, upbeat, and energetic burst of country charm, Fogerty lets his voice echo with commanding power. But for perhaps the best technical work on the album, “Lodi,” the story of hitting rock bottom in a dead end town, features the most imaginative and memorable guitar riff on the album that brings pleasant melodicism to ease the impact of Fogerty’s melancholy. “Cross-Tie Walker” is another testament to the band’s technical skill, with a great prominent bass line courtesy of Stu Cook and the always steady drumming and rhythm guitar of Doug Clifford and Tom Fogerty, respectively. The album closes on what are unfortunately two subpar (to CCR’s considerably high standards, that is) songs, the clichéd bad boy tune “Sinister Purpose” and “The Night Time is the Right time,” a cover of a 1954 blues song by Nappy Brown. While the former passes through with little fanfare and Fogerty’s least convincing vocal performance, the latter’s fragmented, sexual theme doesn’t really fit alongside Fogerty’s original, narrative portrayals of country life. As the lead singer and creative force of the band, John Fogerty wrote songs whose often dark subject matters, including looming death, sin, and hopelessness were in part obscured by the steady rock rhythms that infused poppy guitar riffs and boogie grooves. In doing this, Fogerty and the rest of CCR became a smart, radio-ready hitmaker, and Green River is CCR’s first album to showcase this. For all the commercial and critical achievements of the album, in its most basic terms, it is an undeniably good time.
Although the albums put out by CCR were gold, this song with be forever part of the one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time...."An American Werewolf In London".....not a bad moon song on the whole soundtrack!
"Bad Moon Rising" features in the 1981 horror comedy film An American Werewolf in London, a fun movie which heavily influenced Michael Jackson's Thriller video. Creedence Clearwater Revival sounds at times like Southern Rock, Country Rock, Louisiana Swamp Rock, but they were from Northern California. They performed at Woodstock, but were left out of the movie for no fault of their own. "Born On The Bayou", "Suzie Q", and "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" will rock your socks off. "Proud Mary", "Green River", "Down on the Corner", and "Midnight Special" might get you groovin' too. Also lend your ears to "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Lodi", "Don't Look Now", and "Lookin' Out My Backdoor" among many other great songs from them.
Had a huge family reunion and the DJ played this song and all my 24 aunts and uncles got up and danced. It was so incredible to see. They were young again. ❤
@@MrMCCONNELL74 LOL. CCR is Southern Rock. No one calls them southern Rock (notice the capital). Southern Rock is a style of rock, if you didn't know, not directions to where they live.

@@w.n.y_n.j.2584 Yeap, from California. One of the better Southern Rock bands ever, in my opinion. Wait, you mention it because you think since where they live determines they can't play a style of music? Southern Rock is a genre of music, my friend, not directions to where a person lives. To say otherwise is like saying if you live in a city, say Nashville, you can't play Country.
There are a few songs that CCR recorded that were hard hitting Blues, Rock, Crazy Lead Guitar. I hope you both react to "Susie Q", "Keep On Chooglin", "Born On The Bayou", and their cover of "Heard It Through the Grapevine" which is 11 minutes long. CCR is widely viewed as a Southern Rock Band but the truth is they are from California and just love Country & Western Music mixed with Rhythm & Blues.
Great video as usual!! CCR was my favorite band when I was growing up, so any song of theirs that you react to will be great!! One of their biggest hits which John Fogerty wrote was “Proud Mary” which was also covered by Ike and Tina Turner. Both versions are terrific. If you haven’t already done so, check out the 2 versions. You will enjoy them both as I always have. I guess I might be a little more partial toward the Fogerty version , because to cover a song and turn it into a hit is great. To write that song plus sing it, and turn it into a hit is even greater.looking forward to your next video!!!😎👍👍👍
Try some of their deeper cuts, like "The Working Man", "Bootleg (Alternate Take)", "Gloomy", "Walk on the Water", "Penthouse Pauper", "Pagan Baby", "Ramble Tamble". For longer jams, check out the 11-minute "I Heard it Through the Grapevine", or one of the 10+ minute live versions of "Suzie Q", or the 1970 Oakland concert version of "Keep on Chooglin'".
@@MisterWondrous you're killing me over here.🤣🤣 I experienced a lot of similar dilemmas, especially when I was under the influence of whatever was available in the era of this music. 🙃
I used to think stuck in old Lodi again from CCR's Lodi was "sucking on an old tire rim." It still sounds a little like that when I don't ready myself for the line.
Bad Moon Rising is my FAVOURITE CCR song! Thanks for covering it! Two minutes was about the limit that AM radio allowed in the late 1960s when this song came out. The entire band is from the San Francisco area of California, but they liked the sound of Louisiana and Mississippi river music so that is what they tried to emulate. "Swamp Rock" not Southern Rock, which was established by the Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Almost a difference without a distinction--or the other way around. Sometimes John Fogerty would sing "there's a bathroom on the right" instead of "there's a bad moon on the rise" just to mess with everybody's head. Ha, ha! He did that on a birthday performance he did for Howard Stern here on UA-cam. Fogerty wrote this song during the Vietnam war because he felt like the world was going to come to an end due to all the turmoil, thus the apocalyptical Biblical references like "one eye is taken for an eye." The music actually doesn't fit the message. The guitar playing and beat is too uptempo for a song about the end of the world but we loved it back in the late 1960s and we still do today! 🎸🎸🎸👌
The most cheerful song I've heard about the coming apocalypse 🙂. I guess if everything is about to fall apart, we may as well sing and bop to it? I think there is actually deep irony in the song, and agree with others it was written in reference to the Vietnam War and the general approach of "eye for an eye" foreign policy.
Their underrated , under recognized masterpiece is Ramble Tamble. It is Creedence’s Stairway to Heaven , their Bohemian Rhapsody . Every Reactor has done it has been blown away by it as I was in my youth when I first heard it . Anyway great reaction to Bad Moon Rising guys .
A good friend of mine (RIP) used to play in a texas bar band 40 years ago or so, and his band played this song, but folks would yell from the audience to "Play Bathroom on the Right"...miss my friend and always loved that story :) Good journey...Peace!
Asia, you are 100% right!!! I was a Registered Nurse [ 30 years - retired] working after hours anaesthetics. I can tell you that we ALWAYS had all the big gun equipment ready on full moon nights. That is when all the testosterone induced injuries [drunk men fighting] happened. On top of that you always had the clumsies who ran over a foot with a lawn mower, fell off a ladder or didn't use the safety protector on the angle grinder or electric saw. It was ALWAYS madness. To every week-end warrior out there DON'T do dangerous odd jobs on a full moon !!
Back in the day, the music industry was hesitant to put out longer songs as singles. Every once and a while a longer song would make it big, but generally the songs were pretty short.
Ayyy this song is lit I love me some CCR! Great reaction Asia and BJ . Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's from a soldier's perspective heading to Vietnam to fight in that war. Because obviously they had anti-war records like Fortunate Son . Also, The Verse " Hope you are prepared to die". You really have to listen to those words and dig deep in the background of it I heard this song of a video game and a lot of CCR songs off of a video game I play .
you are correct this was anti war and a bad moon is a full moon or if you prefer a snipers moon in Vietnam full moons were a very bad thing it was better when it was raining cats and dogs you were less likely to get dead. USAF 1972/1992
I should have known but I have always had a problem with hearing the lyrics and had to get the album and read them. They did do Fortunate Son which was clear enough and it was the days of protests against the war. I also remember how badly the returning vets were treated. I never could understand it.
@@ronfuqua2117 Wow 1972. I turned 18 and that meant I missed the draft by one year. I did try to join the Air force for the tech training and didn't expect to see action, but that is a story for another day. I never understood why the returning vets were badly treated.
@@oldmanghost219 they referred to returning vets as baby burners and child killers and things of that sort not caring that most were drafted and just doing what they were ordered to do, people don't think they just say and do things which ar often hurtful, it was a sad time
One of their best guitar vibe tunes. Souces -This song was about a prospective night march against the Viet Cong in Vietnam . Play "Cotton Fields" for some good old southern sound.
I think I heard the song is about vietnam...where the enemy preffered to come out and attack on full moon nights..lot of Vietnam Era meaning to there songs
The lead singer, John Fogerty, left CAR and went out on his own. Very successful. He has a more bluesy sound. If u want to check him out, start with his song 110 Degrees in the Shade. Great song!
It's interesting to see the lyrics of a lot of these songs. I've heard them a million times but never heard all the lyrics properly when they played on the radio.
Love all CCR,but this one is the first one i ran out and got . A 45 single for .78 cents🤣🤣 then went on ltr to buy everything they ever put out. Yes.. CCR. Still great after over 50 yrs. i got it for my 13 th birthday gift for myself in ‘69! Memories.. dan lovs ur chann. Glad ya found some good stuff i grew up with. 1/18/22
Oh, man. When I was a kid, there used to be these TV commercials, for huuuuge mail-order music collections, featuring thousands of songs by dozens of artists, which you could buy as a sort of monthly subscription (pay only $49.95/month for x number of months). The bulk of the commercial would have the announcer talking up the merits of the thing, while names of musicians and groups scrolled up the screen, and five-second clips of songs played in the background one after another. The details changed from month to month, but in one incarnation or another this same basic commercial must have run several times an hour for at least a decade, maybe longer. Other songs and other bands came and went from the commercial over the years, but this song, and specifically the title line of this song, was always always always one of the five-second clips that played, and the band name, Credence Clearwater Revival, was always one of the band names that scrolled by while the announcer was talking about how much music you'd get and how little you'd have to pay. After a few years I started thinking of it as the Bad Moon Arising commercial, because that was the only song that was always part of it. I've never heard the song before, but I must've heard that five-second clip a hundred thousand times.
I remember reading once that this song is one of those famous for having misheard lyrics. The line "There's a bad moon on the rise" was misheard by many as "There's a bathroom on the right" Which puts a whole different spin on the song! 😆
It is soooo good to see young folks listening to music from my generation. I still have my 3 day pass from Woodstock and a tie dyed bedspread with the moon and stars I bought on Blitzy Row. Drove all the way from Fairbanks to Bethel NY to celebrate my 18 birthday in 1969. You need to react to their live video taped at Woodstock about 1 AM that's why the video is a bit dark.. I Put A Spell On You...!!!
@@ToddSauve Not to date myself but yes, lol. I was younger than 10, but my older brother & sister are 10 & 12 yrs older so they exposed me to a lot of 60’s & 70’s music. Funny thing, I remember this song especially b-cus I’m from Tampa Fl, or across the bay from Clearwater 😅 so it wasn’t until I was older that I realized they weren’t from my area. Take care my dear friend 💕
@@Tica..77 This song and CCR in general were _the_ hottest band on the Canadian prairies when I was growing up back in Regina, Saskatchewan! Can you pronounce Saskatchewan properly? Give yourself 10 points if you can!
Songs were short to be played on the radio back then. I was there, to me the 60s were the best for music. Songs that haven't been reacted to are Traveling Band, Komotion, Lodi, Jambalaya. I suggest reacting to I put a Spell on You if you haven't. Long version, maybe my favorite. Been a fan of theirs since Susie Q in 68.
Their version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine is a must listen.
that is a good song, but i prefer cross road walker
Whenever I hear this song all I think about is American Werewolf in London. Classic song, classic horror film.

Review Summary: Green River is the first Creedence Clearwater Revival album to follow the band's brilliant formula that made them roots rock hitmakers and American icons.
Creedence Clearwater Revival is the sound of hot, humid summer nights in the south sitting (or should I say “sittin’”) on the front porch and basking in the moonlight. The music seems to reflect life in the deep country backwoods with chugging rhythms, rock-steady beats and the vocal howl of John Fogerty as wild and free as the great outdoors. CCR turned out a string of roots rock hits that steered clear of many of the psychedelic music influences prevalent in the late ‘60s, and 1969’s Green River is widely considered to be the band’s first classic album.
Clocking in at a mere 29 minutes, Green River shows the band moving away from the extended jam sessions of previous albums and focusing on the short, direct, radio-friendly hit without losing any of their roots rock steam. Opener “Green River” sets the scene for rural americana perfectly: “Walkin’ along the river road at night / Barefoot girls dancin’ in the moonlight.” Its infectious beats, rock-and-roll-meets-country-twang guitar riff and the celebration of country life over ruination in the big city are all prevalent throughout Green River. Namely, “Commotion” begins with a loud guitar riff and warm harmonica that make it one of the album’s best and a honky-tonk classic.
Not surprisingly, one of the best songs on the album is the radio-staple “Bad Moon Rising.” A short, upbeat, and energetic burst of country charm, Fogerty lets his voice echo with commanding power. But for perhaps the best technical work on the album, “Lodi,” the story of hitting rock bottom in a dead end town, features the most imaginative and memorable guitar riff on the album that brings pleasant melodicism to ease the impact of Fogerty’s melancholy. “Cross-Tie Walker” is another testament to the band’s technical skill, with a great prominent bass line courtesy of Stu Cook and the always steady drumming and rhythm guitar of Doug Clifford and Tom Fogerty, respectively.
The album closes on what are unfortunately two subpar (to CCR’s considerably high standards, that is) songs, the clichéd bad boy tune “Sinister Purpose” and “The Night Time is the Right time,” a cover of a 1954 blues song by Nappy Brown. While the former passes through with little fanfare and Fogerty’s least convincing vocal performance, the latter’s fragmented, sexual theme doesn’t really fit alongside Fogerty’s original, narrative portrayals of country life.

Sometimes John Fogerty would sing "there's a bathroom on the right" instead of "there's a bad moon on the rise" just to mess with everybody's head. Ha, ha! He did that on a birthday performance he did for Howard Stern here on UA-cam. Fogerty wrote this song during the Vietnam war because he felt like the world was going to come to an end due to all the turmoil, thus the apocalyptical Biblical references like "one eye is taken for an eye." The music actually doesn't fit the message. The guitar playing and beat is too uptempo for a song about the end of the world but we loved it back in the late 1960s and we still do today! 🎸🎸🎸👌
The most cheerful song I've heard about the coming apocalypse 🙂. I guess if everything is about to fall apart, we may as well sing and bop to it? I think there is actually deep irony in the song, and agree with others it was written in reference to the Vietnam War and the general approach of "eye for an eye" foreign policy.
CCR has a huge music library 🎸👌. They used this song in the great classic movie " American Wearwolf In London ". And I'm sure in others as well.
Greatest American Band of all time with exception to maybe the Eagles.
So many hits! Adventure in Great music! They were at Woodstock.🌹
Their underrated , under recognized masterpiece is Ramble Tamble. It is Creedence’s Stairway to Heaven , their Bohemian Rhapsody . Every Reactor has done it has been blown away by it as I was in my youth when I first heard it . Anyway great reaction to Bad Moon Rising guys .
A good friend of mine (RIP) used to play in a texas bar band 40 years ago or so, and his band played this song, but folks would yell from the audience to "Play Bathroom on the Right"...miss my friend and always loved that story :) Good journey...Peace!
So glad y’all are feeling well and you didn’t get too sick. Thanks for being y’all!!!
Spending my Sunday evening with you too so many great tunes tonight ❤️
Check out CCR" Down On the Corner", and "Run Through the Jungle".
So glad you all are feeling better
i had a cousin in the royal canadian mounties he said every full moon everything went crazy
Glad you’re feeling better ☮️💜
My dad use to sing this when my mom was mad at him.
He must have known what he was talking about! 😉
YAY my favorite couple on youtube!! Missed you all!! Welcome back Fam!!! ❤❤❤
Asia, you are 100% right!!! I was a Registered Nurse [ 30 years - retired] working after hours anaesthetics. I can tell you that we ALWAYS had all the big gun equipment ready on full moon nights.
That is when all the testosterone induced injuries [drunk men fighting] happened. On top of that you always had the clumsies who ran over a foot with a lawn mower, fell off a ladder or didn't use the safety protector on the angle grinder or electric saw. It was ALWAYS madness. To every week-end warrior out there DON'T do dangerous odd jobs on a full moon !!
Back in the day, the music industry was hesitant to put out longer songs as singles. Every once and a while a longer song would make it big, but generally the songs were pretty short.
Songs back then couldn't be longer than three minutes.... otherwise they wouldn't be played on the radio!
Ayyy this song is lit I love me some CCR! Great reaction Asia and BJ . Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's from a soldier's perspective heading to Vietnam to fight in that war. Because obviously they had anti-war records like Fortunate Son . Also, The Verse " Hope you are prepared to die". You really have to listen to those words and dig deep in the background of it I heard this song of a video game and a lot of CCR songs off of a video game I play .
you are correct this was anti war and a bad moon is a full moon or if you prefer a snipers moon in Vietnam full moons were a very bad thing it was better when it was raining cats and dogs you were less likely to get dead. USAF 1972/1992
I should have known but I have always had a problem with hearing the lyrics and had to get the album and read them. They did do Fortunate Son which was clear enough and it was the days of protests against the war. I also remember how badly the returning vets were treated. I never could understand it.
@@ronfuqua2117 Wow 1972. I turned 18 and that meant I missed the draft by one year. I did try to join the Air force for the tech training and didn't expect to see action, but that is a story for another day. I never understood why the returning vets were badly treated.
@@oldmanghost219 they referred to returning vets as baby burners and child killers and things of that sort not caring that most were drafted and just doing what they were ordered to do, people don't think they just say and do things which ar often hurtful, it was a sad time
Everytime I hear this. The movie American Werewolf In London pops in my head.
One of their best guitar vibe tunes. Souces -This song was about a prospective night march against the Viet Cong in Vietnam . Play "Cotton Fields" for some good old southern sound.
So glad to see you back, feeling well❤
I am glad you both are feeling better. I missed your videos!
First time I heard this song was in the movie An American Werewolf in London during the transformation scene! It was EPIC!
I'm happy you two are back and feeling better. Songs back then had to be short (around 3 minutes) to be played on the radio.
So happy to see you guys back 😊
Great tune!
I bought this 45, with Lodi on the B side, in the spring of 1970 (I think). 👍😎❤
Green River is another great. Also Down on the corner, too. Born on the bayou.
Love all of their songs. When I was a child, I use to think it said, "There's a bathroom on the right."
Or baboon
This song was in the movie, MY GIRL and takes me back to the bumper car scene.
Welcome back King 🤴 BJ and Queen 👸 Asia
Glad you're both doing better. 💕🌈
this is the first song I ever learned as a guitar player!!, love the song & creedance in general
As I recall, everybody with an electric guitar tried to learn this song in 1969!
crackin' tune, great lyrics
One of my favorites
Welcome back, hope you're both well.
This song was in the movie An American Werewolf in London.
Glad you guys feel better much love ❤ xoxo
I think I heard the song is about vietnam...where the enemy preffered to come out and attack on full moon nights..lot of Vietnam Era meaning to there songs
CCR: 'I Put a Spell on You' is what you gotta hear.
The lead singer, John Fogerty, left CAR and went out on his own. Very successful. He has a more bluesy sound. If u want to check him out, start with his song 110 Degrees in the Shade. Great song!
I got this on LP 😍😍😍 thanks you guys. You're LIT.. you're FIRE.. Hope I used LIT and FIRE correctly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's interesting to see the lyrics of a lot of these songs. I've heard them a million times but never heard all the lyrics properly when they played on the radio.
Great song!
Enjoy your reactions. Regards, Bob in Ontario, Canada
TOOOOON!
Played two steps down on the guitar...that why it foxes most people.
Love all CCR,but this one is the first one i ran out and got . A 45 single for .78 cents🤣🤣 then went on ltr to buy everything they ever put out. Yes.. CCR. Still great after over 50 yrs. i got it for my 13 th birthday gift for myself in ‘69! Memories.. dan lovs ur chann. Glad ya found some good stuff i grew up with. 1/18/22
“As long as I can see the light” is another great song by CCR.
Long as I can see the light is their best song imo
I love how CCR does I Heard It Through The Grapevine. Killer!!!
Oh, man. When I was a kid, there used to be these TV commercials, for huuuuge mail-order music collections, featuring thousands of songs by dozens of artists, which you could buy as a sort of monthly subscription (pay only $49.95/month for x number of months). The bulk of the commercial would have the announcer talking up the merits of the thing, while names of musicians and groups scrolled up the screen, and five-second clips of songs played in the background one after another. The details changed from month to month, but in one incarnation or another this same basic commercial must have run several times an hour for at least a decade, maybe longer.
Other songs and other bands came and went from the commercial over the years, but this song, and specifically the title line of this song, was always always always one of the five-second clips that played, and the band name, Credence Clearwater Revival, was always one of the band names that scrolled by while the announcer was talking about how much music you'd get and how little you'd have to pay. After a few years I started thinking of it as the Bad Moon Arising commercial, because that was the only song that was always part of it.
I've never heard the song before, but I must've heard that five-second clip a hundred thousand times.
I remember reading once that this song is one of those famous for having misheard lyrics. The line "There's a bad moon on the rise" was misheard by many as "There's a bathroom on the right" Which puts a whole different spin on the song! 😆
The best band ever. And i was a teenager at that time.👍
It is soooo good to see young folks listening to music from my generation. I still have my 3 day pass from Woodstock and a tie dyed bedspread with the moon and stars I bought on Blitzy Row. Drove all the way from Fairbanks to Bethel NY to celebrate my 18 birthday in 1969. You need to react to their live video taped at Woodstock about 1 AM that's why the video is a bit dark.. I Put A Spell On You...!!!
CCR Tombstone shadow is my favorite one
Great band need to try herd it through the grape vine it is a banger
Love you guys 🤟
Back like ya never left ♥️ Classic song and loved ur reaction & insights! ♥️ yawl
So Tica, you're a CCR fan too! Great minds do think alike! Were you around back in the 1960s when this song came out? I was 11 years old! 🤠
@@ToddSauve Not to date myself but yes, lol. I was younger than 10, but my older brother & sister are 10 & 12 yrs older so they exposed me to a lot of 60’s & 70’s music. Funny thing, I remember this song especially b-cus I’m from Tampa Fl, or across the bay from Clearwater 😅 so it wasn’t until I was older that I realized they weren’t from my area. Take care my dear friend 💕
@@Tica..77 This song and CCR in general were _the_ hottest band on the Canadian prairies when I was growing up back in Regina, Saskatchewan! Can you pronounce Saskatchewan properly? Give yourself 10 points if you can!
@@ToddSauve Yep .. those were the days huh (you party animal Todd, lol 😁). Also I got 10 points.. promise ☺️
They have such a southern rock but they are from Lido California. Central California.
"As Long As I Can See The Light", "Keep on Chugglin'", "Run Through The Jungle", "Green River", "Born On The Bayou"
Yeah Iam rocking my head and patting me feet. Oddly I heard from and old friend I haven't from in a couple of years. 🤔.
One of their very long songs is the long version of Heard it through the Grapevine.
You gotta do "Long as I can see the light".
Songs were short to be played on the radio back then. I was there, to me the 60s were the best for music. Songs that haven't been reacted to are Traveling Band, Komotion, Lodi, Jambalaya. I suggest reacting to I put a Spell on You if you haven't. Long version, maybe my favorite. Been a fan of theirs since Susie Q in 68.
By the way, CCR originated in San Francisco, CA. They sound like bayou boys, but they're from the bay instead.
