Bad Moon Rising, Bat Out of Hell & Crazy Train

Song(s): Bad Moon Rising, Bat Out of Hell & Crazy Train

Artist(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival, Meatloaf & Ozzy Osbourne

Who knew Halloween music could be so ROCK N' ROLL!! 😝🤘🎸 I guess I did...I've definitely shared some classic, old-school rock n' roll tunes before.

I have THREE songs today that, theme wise are totally Halloween approved (Bad Moon, Bats & Hell and the crazies) and that really ROCK! 🤘 Get your air-guitars prepped and ready as these bad boys are going to take you on one wild ride!

Bad Moon Rising 🌑

I don't really know any songs from this group and this particular one isn't necessarily rock n' roll, it's more blue-grass/folky with a bit of a country twang to it. But, it's definitely old-school and the lyrics talk about the dangers of a particular night (October 31st perhaps?) and a bad moon on the rise...which is very Halloween so it made the cut! I don't know, I kinda like it! It's a catchy little ditty.

I see the bad moon a-rising

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightning

I see bad times today

Don't go around tonight

Well, it's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes a-blowing

I know the end is coming soon

I fear rivers overflowing

I hear the voice of rage and ruin

Don't go around tonight

Well, it's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

All right

Hope you got your things together

Hope you are quite prepared to die

Looks like we're in for nasty weather

One eye is taken for an eye

Well, don't go around tonight

Well, it's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

Don't come around tonight

Well, it's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

Bat Out of Hell 🦇😈

I don't remember when I first heard the title of this song, I know it was just recently. But in any case, I added it to my Halloween playlist to give it a listen and....I love it! Who knew!? It's very old-school, 70's rock n' roll, reminds me of something my dad would have played for us as kids. I think the song is super catchy and I love the epic guitars and big drum sound! It feels nostalgic to me, even though this is the first time I've ever heard it! The title alone is Halloween approved! 🦇😈

The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling

Way down in the valley tonight.

There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye

And a blade shining, oh, so bright.

There's evil in the air and there's thunder in sky,

And a killer's on the bloodshot streets.

Oh, and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising,

Oh, I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter,

He was starting to foam in the heat.

Oh, baby, you're the only thing in this whole world,

That's pure and good and right.

And wherever you are and wherever you go,

There's always gonna be some light.

But I gotta get out,

I gotta break it out now,

Before the final crack of dawn.

So we gotta make the most of our one night together.

When it's over you know,

We'll both be so alone.

Like a bat out of hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes.

When the night is over

Like a bat out of hell

I'll be gone-gone-gone.

Like a bat out of hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes.

But when the day is done, and the sun goes down,

And the moonlight's shining through,

Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,

I'll come crawling on back to you.

I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram

On a silver black phantom bike.

When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry,

And we're all about to see the light.

Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole.

And everything is stunted and lost.

And nothing really rocks

And nothing really rolls

And nothing's ever worth the cost.

And I know that I'm damned if I never get out,

And maybe I'm damned if I do,

But with every other beat I've got left in my heart,

You know I'd rather be damned with you.

Well, if I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned

Dancing through the night with you.

Well, if I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned—

Gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned—

Gotta be damned, you know I wanna be damned

Dancing through the night—

Dancing through the night—

Dancing through the night with you.

Oh, baby, you're the only thing in this whole world,

That's pure and good and right.

And wherever you are and wherever you go,

There's always gonna be some light.

But I gotta get out,

I gotta break it out now,

Before the final crack of dawn.

So we gotta make the most of our one night together.

When it's over you know

We'll both be so alone.

Like a bat out of hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes.

When the night is over

Like a bat out of hell

I'll be gone gone gone.

Like a bat out of hell

I'll be gone when the morning comes.

But when the day is done and the sun goes down,

And the moonlight's shining through,

Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,

I'll come crawling on back to you.

Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,

I'll come crawling on back to you.

Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven,

I'll come crawling on back to you.

Crazy Train 🤡🚆

We end tonight's rock concert with this iconic classic by one of the most famous crazies of pop culture, Ozzy Osbourne! I'm familiar with this song from my days of playing Rock Band 🎸 That game was epic! And it's in Mega Mind which is a fantastic movie! I don't know what it is about this year in particular but I've shared quite a few songs about the crazies and psychos, haven't I? Probably because I feel like I'M "going off the rails on a cRaZy TrAiN!" for real! Send help! 🙃🤡 The beginning of this song never gets old! It's perfect for this spooky and unhinged time of the year where all Hell breaks loose and roams the streets at night! 

All aboard! Hahaha!

I, I, I, I... [fade]

Crazy, but that's how it goes

Millions of people living as foes

Maybe. It's not too late

To learn how to love, and forget how to hate

Mental wounds not healing

Life's a bitter shame

I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train

I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train

I've listened to preachers,

I've listened to fools

I've watched all the dropouts

Who make their own rules

One person conditioned to rule and control

The media sells it and you live the role

Mental wounds still screaming

Driving me insane

I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train

I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train

I know that things are going wrong for me

You gotta listen to my words, yeah, yeah

Heirs of a cold war

That's what we've become

Inheriting troubles

I'm mentally numb

Crazy, I just cannot bear

I'm living with something that just isn't fair

Mental wounds not healing

Who and what's to blame

I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train

I'm goin' off the rails on a crazy train

HAPPY "THRILLING" THURSDAY! 🌑🦇🚆
