Lostboy:
Wasn't there some dreadful cover of that a few years back that should have been shot, hung drawn and quartered before given a burial at sea?

Nah, it was a different ditty of the same name, but as 'Toploader' did it, a more apt title would have been "Day-aancin' eeen the mooooon-laaat"
 never before have so many vowels been murdered in the title of one pop song!!

Glad to hear that - would be a sad sad world if such an awful monstrosity had come from a pedigree origin!

Dirty Gertie:
Thin Lizzy one:
When I passed you in the doorway
You took me with a glance
I should have took that last bus home
But I asked you for a dance

Now we go steady to the pictures
I always get chocolate stains on my pants
My father he’s going crazy
Say’s I’m living in a trance

But I’m dancing in the moonlight
It’s caught me in it’s spotlight
It’s alright, alright
Dancing in the moonlight
On the long hot summer night

It’s three o’clock in the morning
And I’m on the streets again
I disobeyed another warning
I should have been in by ten

Now I won’t get out until sunday
I’ll have to say I stayed with friends
But it’s a habit worth forming
If it means to justify the end


Toploader version: (which was apparently originally done by Harvest King; don't remememember the band name, but their version was way better!!)

We get it on most 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

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 get it on most every night
And when that moon is big and bright
It’s a supernatural delight
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

...so there you go  :)
