One day when I was about 7, I remember riding in the care with my Mom. We were listening to the radio and I was humming and singing along to Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Bad Moon Rising" song, when my mother started laughing hysterically. She asked what I was singing and I said, "There's a bathroom on the right." ... She finally told me it was "There's a bad moon on the rise."
