Popular Moon Songs
(Hall of Moon Inspired Music)
"> .
Hundreds and hundreds of songs have been written about the moon throughout history. In fact, the moon is one of the most sung about themes. The Moon is described as: Golden, Yellow, Pink, Silvery, Black, Blue, Red, White, Fire Red, Blood Red, Cherry, Amber and even Neon and Turquoise. We've been singing about the Moon, dancing about it, dancing under it; Howling at the Moon and Barking at the Moon. And Apollo 17 astronauts sang while strolling on the moon.

Sometimes just invoking the image of the Moon in the name of a band is enough to capture attention such as the beautiful Canadian indie rock band "Half Moon Run ", the French group, "Fool Moon," and the groups "Moon Riders", "Moonalice" and "Poor Moon". And then again there is the alternative pop quartet Walk the Moon with their energetic dance music.
The Moon will continue its serenade, whether the music is Jazz inspired or Bluegrass; classical music, rock or punk; from Frank Sinatra's, "Fly me to the Moon," or Bob Dylan's rendition of Sinatra's "Full Moon and Empty Arms" to Elvis Presley's, "Blue Moon". Whether the Moon sings in Sir Thomas of Peeping's medieval ballard "Uponst Thy Glorious Moon I Hath Gazed", Native American Chants or Cat Steven's "Moonshadow," the Moon shines on, in the genres and songs of today. Here are some of those Moon tunes:
