The song "Bad Moon On The Rise" is actually "bathroom on the right"

For many years, I thought "There's a bad moon on the rise" was "There's a bathroom on the right".

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."

You know that song with the chorus, "There's a Bad Moon on the Rise..." Well, I used to think (until about 3 years ago, actually) that the real lyrics were, "There's a Bathroom on the Right..." I would sing it during long car trips with my parents when I had to use the restroom; I always wondered why they would laugh at me for it... ;0)

I recently bought a CD of Creedence's greatest hits. I'm sorry, but he *is* saying "There's a bathroom on the right." And you canNOT convince me otherwise!

During the song "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, there's a line that goes "There's a bad moon on the rise." Well, until recently, my ENTIRE FAMILY sang "There's a bathroom on the right!" and we all referred to it as "The Bathroom on the Right Song", thinking other people knew what we were talking about.

When I was young the Creedance Clearwater Revival song that says "There's a bad moon out tonight", I thought it said there's a bathroom on the right!:)

There's this song, I think it's by the Eagles but I'm not sure, and it says "There's a bad moon on the rise". Well I used to think it said, "there's a bathroom on the right". I couldn't figure out what that had to do with anything.

CCR- "there's a bad moon on the rise"
My sister and I always thought it was "there's a bathroom on the right"
To this day, I will catch myself sing about the bathroom!

I saw John Fogarty in concert a few years ago
years ago and he ACTUALLY sang
“There’s a bathroom on the right”
while he sang Bad Moon Rising!
He had this wicked smile on his face
after the song was finished.
