“Bad Moon Rising” #2 6/28/1969

There’s a bathroom on the right! Perhaps the most mis-heard lyric in rock history came from the pen of John Fogerty, and was the second of three straight #2 hits for CCR in 1969. This was maybe the most cheerful end-of-the-world song until R.E.M. broached that subject years later. Fogerty said he based the song on the movie “The Devil And Daniel Webster” which had a scene involving a hurricane.
