Answer 5

"Dancing in the Moonlight" is the title song on the 1973 King Harvest album. The track was released as a single the same year, and was King Harvest's only hit song. It reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100. They released other singles but these were never able to match the success of "Dancing in the Moonlight". The track used a Rhodes piano thoroughout.

The song was written by Sherman Kelly in 1968, whose brother, Wells Kelly - King Harvest's drummer in the early 1970s - introduced the song to the band. It was originally recorded in 1970 by the British band: Boffalongo.

The song's first line, "We get it on most every night" is often misheard as "We get it almost every night"

The song and album is available on various digital download services such as iTunes, Napster and eMusic, among others.

Thin Lizzy's 1977 UK single release - "Dancin' In The Moonlight (It's Caught Me In Its Spotlight)" should not be confused with the King Harvest song, as it is a completely different song.


Cover versions
The King Harvest version is often wrongly attributed to Van Morrison or Elvis Costello, due to incorrect labelling on various digital download services. Neither of these artists has recorded a version of "Dancing in the Moonlight".

This song has been been covered by a number of artists. These include:-

Aswad on their 2002 album Cool Summer Reggae
Liza Minnelli on her 1973 album The Singer
Baha Men on 1994's Kalik
Masters Of The Obvious
The Keane Brothers — who created a disco version in 1979
Aerosmith
Toploader on their Onka's Big Moka album
Orleans (band)
My Morning Jacket
