My Dad loved this song and it was played at his funeral service as the last song. And it still manages to make me smile, even though I thought it'd hurt to listen to it afterwards. It's a great song and my Dad had great taste in music.
In 1973, when we had a hit with Sherman Kelly's Dancing on the Moonlight, it was unimaginable to think that four generations of listeners around the world would be enjoying the song 20 years into the next century!. Toploader brought Dancing in the Moonlight into the 21st century where it is now firmly established as one of the most successful songs to come out of the 70s. Kudos to them.
This song played when I was 17 and my mom was dropping me to the bus that took me to what Americans would know as a dance my school has before "prom". Got fucked up, had a sick ass time with my boys and made great memories
I remember me and my husband would always dance to this song every night when we would go to a bar. 3 years ago he past away with cancer, and everytime I hear this song I just want to remember him with me all the time. I miss him so much
Heard a little piece of this song days ago on a Facebook short. It didn't say the name of the band or the song, nothing. It has been living rent free in my head since then. I just loved it.
I worked on this video. It was a mad shoot. We had to clear out an entire house in New Cross. It was about an 18 hour day if I remember. The video still looks great to this day. I remember the director loved those fairy lights and put them all over the place. I spent a lot of the time encouraging people to dance on the top floor to keep the vibe going :) Those were the days, hanging out with fashion models and going to wild parties - another lifetime :) This is the first time I have actually watched the whole video! I worked on so many back in the day but I remember this one.
This is exactly why it was written in the first place, in fact it's quite a sad story. Writer of the original, Sherman Kelly says; "On a trip to St. Croix in 1969, I was the first victim of a vicious gang who eventually murdered 8 American tourists. At that time, I suffered multiple facial fractures and wounds and was left for dead. While I was recovering, I wrote "Dancin In The Moonlight" in which I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life."
That's the exact reason I listen to it, it takes me away not just from my anxiety, but quite frankly my PTSD, it's an amazing song, especially when their are positive memories linked to it
I'm 64 and due to my neuro issues I didn't recognize it at first as a song of my teen years. Although we'll always love the original version, this band sang it with a slower pace and I love it as we can enjoy the amazing vibes much better!
I honestly have no idea what feeling this song gives me, it’s like a mix of happiness, regret, nostalgia, gratefulness, idk it’s just a rainbow feeling song.
This is the kind of song that everyone likes for no particular reason. Edit: This is the most likes I've ever had and I accidentally started an argument too lol. Thanks everyone. Hope you're all having a good day and that you can dance in the moonlight...
I have no significant memory associated with this song yet it still feels nostalgic Holy shit I found this comment after 11 months and it banged, thanks lads 💙
My brother turned the volume on when this song came up in his playlist. We were driving along a highway surrounded by mountains on both sides facing toward the sunset. It was so beautiful and for once in awhile, I felt like there’s nothing to worry about and I wanted to remember this moment as long as I can.
Was having the worst day at work and when this song came on during clean up, I just started smiling and singing along. Turned into a sing-along with all my co workers in the kitchen, just jamming out without a care in the world.
Yeah, then it ends and your problems continue. Sounds like alcoholics. Drink to forget, but as soon as you sober up, the problems are still there, so they constantly drink to be away rather than solving the problem to begin with.
This song has a certain vibe. You could play it at an old folks home during puzzle hour and at a dingy club at 0200 in the morning and it would be loved by all who heard it.
This was out when my son was 11 .And had a malignant brain tumour. We used to listen 👂 to it on he's portable cd player. In St James in leeds we are from hull. This was our happy song. And still is he's 33 now xx
I lost my best friend Tom 2 years ago from a overdose, while going through some old boxes I found a few burned CDs that were his when we were in high school, he gave me them years back. Well the first song was this one. I'm going to give this CD to his sister, after I'm done crying like a little girl.
Hope your doing okay...I'm really sorry but at least you have memories to remember him by and if it has to be any song to remember it's great that it's this one. (:
Austen Lee omg I’m so sorry for ur loss he is in heaven and may is soul Rest In Peace overdose sucide is never a choice it is a gut feeling to give up and we should never give up hope u have a nice day stay home stay safe sending loads of love to u and ur family 💚💚💚💚💚💚🥰🥰🥰
This was the last song I listened to with my parents. I’m currently sobbing, because I can never get that feeling of pure bliss, listening to the radio, ever again. I love you Mami and Papi. Soon, we’ll be dancing together, dancing in the moonlight.
"Dancing in the Moonlight" is a song originally recorded by the French-American rock group King Harvest. The song was written by Sherman Kelly, produced by Jack Robinson, originally recorded in 1970 by Kelly's band Boffalongo, and then released as a single by King Harvest in 1972, reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2000 a cover by English band Toploader became a worldwide hit and achieved multi-Platinum status in the United Kingdom.
This song reminds me of the feeling after a feel-good movie, when the credits start rolling up and you just sit there with the feeling that life is good and that everything will just turn out okay. I don't know how to describe that feeling of bliss, but this song is that explanation. I cannot express how much I love this song.
It was the last song of the night, just my dad’s band and close friends and family left. Wonderful way to end the most important day of my life, unforgettable! ❤️
This song hits hard, I used to listen it with some friends in high school on our way to revise for exams at the library, then one of them died unexpectedly the year after I left. I listened to this on repeat the week of my friends funeral. She would have been in her 30s now, she was only 16. Be grateful for every day x
song is very special to me. When I was in the fourth grade our school was participating in a field hockey tournament in the next town. I took the transport the school provided, seeing as my family hadn't owned a car at the time. After the tournament was finished me and 2 other of my teammates were the only ones taking the bus home. Our driver the coach took us to McDonald's and told us we could have anything we wanted. On our way back this song came on the radio and we sang and enjoyed ourselves very much.
In this absurdly hot Italian summer night, I'm listening to this song, chills running through my body, bawling my eyes out because of this song and what it reminds me. When I was a kid, 10 years ago there was a tv ad about an Italian drink called estathè and this song played in the background. Everytime i watched it on tv I used to feel incredibly happy to be alive. It was about the first experiences of a lifetime and pictured the perfect Italian summer with you know vespa, friends, parties at the beach at night and so on. I don't know, it just felt the best time of one's life, it struck me deeply at the point that even today 10 years passed and when I hear this song i immediately remember those times, when being a kid with no trouble, no anxiety and when I lived those awesome moments. This song is so nostalgic that it actually hurts. Too many memories. It's so meaningful and will be my all time favorite summer song for the rest of my life.
I know right! It makes me so sad and teary eyed because I remember all the fun memories when I was younger with this song I made fun videos and everything!
It's so amazing that such a traumatic event inspired such a beautiful song. Life's all about perspective I guess and you can literally make the best out of your worst moments too.
So I used to work in this italian restaurant in Clapham Common, in London. I'm italian myself, and I wanted to work abroad for a while. I packed my things and left. The restaurant was busy and had this repeating playlist that basically shuffled 30 songs over and over. This was the BEST tune we had, I remember being so happy serving the customers with this music, it brings me happiness just to think about it again. Music is truly a great thing
Fellow italian here! Ahaha And this happens to me too! I work in a bar (in Italy) and the boss always plays some kind of RUclips playlist, but when the good song finally comes around you'll see me truly smiling, not just smiling to be nice with the costumers 😅 and I'll try to move and do everything following the rhythm ahah
There is something haunting yet wholesome about the end of the video 3:40 because the music pans out and its just empty rooms. It is like a subliminal "We were here, we had fun, now we're gone" crazy.
I bet many here have no idea that this is a remake...crazy that when u put this title in RUclips search it should always have the original as the very first choice to oick.
@@ossyable I completely agree about King Harvest - I think this Toploader version is missing the chorus harmonies (also enjoy the Orleans version - I think the bass player is from King Harvest).
When this song came out I was partying and getting high in college and starting a family wasn’t even an option in my mind, now I’m listening to this on AirPods with my wife and son sleeping next to me, shits cray
Yeah. You can blame today’s music, often played more than these underrated songs. Btw, According to the original song, it was made for more than 10 years.
Picture this: Your hanging out with your friends and you are all having a good time walking around laughing and enjoying the night while you are still young and living like there is no care in the world and this song just plays over and over it's such a good thought
@xXErnestoZedillo1994Xx " Sherman Kelly and some friends were running a nightclub in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, in 1969. One day, they decided to rent a 65-foot yacht and travel to St. Croix for the day. Unbeknownst to him at the time, Kelly was prone to seasickness, and he and his girlfriend got really seasick on the crossing. When the group arrived in St. Croix, those onboard took a dingy to shore to look for some dinner. But Kelly and his girlfriend were both still sick and weren’t interested in eating at that point. The group got its food and decided to head back to the boat to spend the night. Kelly and his girlfriend looked out into the harbor and saw the boat’s mast swaying back and forth, and instead opted to stay in town overnight rather than risk more seasickness on the boat. There was only one problem: Due to his extreme seasickness and disorientation, Kelly had left his wallet on the boat and had no money or credit cards for a hotel. The two went to a small inn, explained the situation to the innkeeper and offered to settle up in the morning when Kelly could return to the boat to retrieve his wallet. “And he said, ‘Sure, you can stay here if your girlfriend will sleep with me,’” said Kelly in a telephone interview from his home in the Finger Lakes region of New York. After being turned down at a second inn, Kelly’s girlfriend said, “It’s a beautiful night. Why don’t we just stretch out on the beach?” “So we did,” said Kelly. “And that’s all I remember very clearly.” What happened after that was pieced together through bits of Kelly’s own memory and the recollections of other people. According to those accounts, while sleeping on the beach, Kelly and his girlfriend were the victims of a vicious St. Croix street gang. Kelly was severely beaten by five gang members wielding baseball bats. His girlfriend was raped by the gang leader and the rest were in line. But Kelly’s girlfriend later reported, that Kelly regained consciousness during the attack and fought back, making enough noise to scare off the attackers. With Kelly drifting in and out of consciousness, the two managed to follow the lights along the shore, eventually making their way to the only St. Croix hospital. Kelly and his girlfriend were thought to be among the first victims of the notorious Fountain Valley Gang, who in 1972 murdered eight tourists and wounded eight more thereby devastating St. Croix tourism for many years. “I woke up to the sound of my hospital roommate screaming in pain. Finally the screaming stopped and I heard two doctors talking about him. ‘That’s it, he’s gone,’ said one doctor about the other patient. ‘What about him, you think he’s gonna make it?’ And the other doctor said, ‘No, I doubt it.” I realized they were talking about me,” said Kelly. Kelly did make it, though. He spent several days in the St. Croix hospital, eventually returning to St. Thomas, where he stayed at a friend’s house while he recovered. Eventually he was healthy enough to get back to New York, where doctors at New York Hospital were able to re-break and re-set the bones in his face and address his other injuries. Returning to his home in Ithaca, New York, still in pain and with constant headaches, Kelly was in no shape to be in a band. But that didn’t prevent him from writing songs. And it was during this period of convalescence that he began to write some verses for a song, verses that would later become the lyrics for “Dancing in the Moonlight.” “I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyous celebration of life. It was just me imagining a better world than the one I had just experienced in St. Croix,” said Kelly. An unspeakably traumatic experience that almost cost him his life had turned into a beautiful song. “It was amazing. People liked the song right from the start. I liked it, but I wouldn’t have predicted that it would become a big hit,” said Kelly. "
@@martyflipman4737 alr, but you just could simply said that he based the song on his memories while in the hospital because of the attacks at st. Croix.
Sherman Kelly released this, july 9, 1972 after the tragic events. Kelly and his girlfriend were jumped by a gang while they were trying to spend the night on a beach together. They were both severely beaten. Sherman Kelly is still alive as of this writing, 80 years old🫡 For those who don't know💛
This song gives off the best vibes I have ever received from music. It’s just so happy. It’s something you play to drown out your problems, and drink a beer with peace of mind. Absolutely beautiful
Benji_Skywalker Gotta live with no regrets,I think we all have times in our lives that we miss,People. Thats what life is about tho. Listen to the song Cool change by Little rive band.
I swear this song helps you get through your day, if you are having a bad day listen to this and it changes you entire mood and energy towards the day. This song hits different😁
Used this song for my recent Wedding Entrance with my lovely wife whom I've had a relationship with already for 10 years. The positive vibe is so infectious throughout the whole wedding ballroom and needless to say we are so happy to have picked this song for it 😁❤
Ohhh man whenever i see love story or hear relationship for 1 year, 2 years or 5 years i feel so incomplete about myself man. My life story is fucking 0 means nothing no love story no career no job overage but still not married. Fucking shit my life....
What a GREAT wonderful tune! It’s hard to believe the original came out fifty one years ago. It’s Dec. 2023 today and I may be old, but this song always makes me smile, groove, and feel young!
the body may be getting older. but that heart of yours is still as full of passion and care as it always has been! make sure that flame never dies will ya?
Is it just me or does this song just give a feeling of nostalgia for no reason?
TRUE

So sorry for your lost RIP to your dad. He did have great taste great song 🌹

Yeah nostalgic feel of when you used to play Premier League football then suddenly you find yourself in the Coca-Cola Football League... FML
It does but the original version gives all the feels
Probably cause it's a cover from the 70s

Does this song actually increase dopamine levels for everyone else or is just me?

All the time
In this absurdly hot Italian summer night, I'm listening to this song, chills running through my body, bawling my eyes out because of this song and what it reminds me. When I was a kid, 10 years ago there was a tv ad about an Italian drink called estathè and this song played in the background. Everytime i watched it on tv I used to feel incredibly happy to be alive. It was about the first experiences of a lifetime and pictured the perfect Italian summer with you know vespa, friends, parties at the beach at night and so on. I don't know, it just felt the best time of one's life, it struck me deeply at the point that even today 10 years passed and when I hear this song i immediately remember those times, when being a kid with no trouble, no anxiety and when I lived those awesome moments. This song is so nostalgic that it actually hurts. Too many memories. It's so meaningful and will be my all time favorite summer song for the rest of my life.
I remember that ad! Never forget it, it keeps things bright.
I know right! It makes me so sad and teary eyed because I remember all the fun memories when I was younger with this song I made fun videos and everything!

It's so amazing that such a traumatic event inspired such a beautiful song. Life's all about perspective I guess and you can literally make the best out of your worst moments too.
I swear this song was constantly on the radio all the way through the 2000’s
It cant be it was made 5 10 years ago
@@harveywitcombe2275 this is a cover
Our bar band covered the original back in the 1970's. : )
This song was constantly on my mind & on my burnt cd's all the way through the 2000's.
still is on the radio a fair bit nowadays
So I used to work in this italian restaurant in Clapham Common, in London. I'm italian myself, and I wanted to work abroad for a while. I packed my things and left. The restaurant was busy and had this repeating playlist that basically shuffled 30 songs over and over. This was the BEST tune we had, I remember being so happy serving the customers with this music, it brings me happiness just to think about it again. Music is truly a great thing
Are u italian?
😍😍
Fellow italian here! Ahaha
And this happens to me too! I work in a bar (in Italy) and the boss always plays some kind of RUclips playlist, but when the good song finally comes around you'll see me truly smiling, not just smiling to be nice with the costumers 😅 and I'll try to move and do everything following the rhythm ahah
RUclips at it’s prime is when people share stuff like this while listening! Thanks and mad love!
S. V. I lives in Italy but I’m not good at Italian . It’s rare to see Italians speak in English I’m shocked 🙀
11 years later and still the same masterpiece
@EndlessGray its all about taste
@EndlessGray I couldn’t have put it better
This song was released in the summer of the year 2000 so 20 years old

Kings harvest did it first check it out, you’ll like it!
There is something haunting yet wholesome about the end of the video 3:40 because the music pans out and its just empty rooms. It is like a subliminal "We were here, we had fun, now we're gone" crazy.
63 years old and reminiscing profusely. Adored the original. Lovin’ this one to the max. Memories galore. Hail the 70’s!
I bet many here have no idea that this is a remake...crazy that when u put this title in RUclips search it should always have the original as the very first choice to oick.
Only just found this out last week. I like the king harvest version
@@ossyable I completely agree about King Harvest - I think this Toploader version is missing the chorus harmonies (also enjoy the Orleans version - I think the bass player is from King Harvest).
I am quite sure that they are copying Miley Cyrus - Flowers🤔

Discovered this song past midnight whilst driving alone and ... It was such a perfect moment - just me and the radio . 💯💯💯
What? Where have you been for the past 10 years?
You hear it now but not back then??
Yeah. You can blame today’s music, often played more than these underrated songs.
Btw, According to the original song, it was made for more than 10 years.
Picture this: Your hanging out with your friends and you are all having a good time walking around laughing and enjoying the night while you are still young and living like there is no care in the world and this song just plays over and over it's such a good thought
my life after 1d is exactly so
If only I could do that but I can’t and we all know why
Thank you Arteta,without you being a PE teacher, the Arsenal car meme wouldnt be made and I would never discover this masterpiece ❤
Amen

Feel sorry you didn't find this sooner. The nostalgia from this song is unreal
The problem is not Arteta
*laughs in Danny and Nicky cowley*
This band deserves an award for keeping this song going and the back story of the lyrics will blow your mind
I don’t have a sad story to share for this song, I just really like it.
Me as well.
If you want a sad story, look up what the original song was written about. It's awful.
@@martyflipman4737 what was written about?
@xXErnestoZedillo1994Xx " Sherman Kelly and some friends were running a nightclub in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, in 1969. One day, they decided to rent a 65-foot yacht and travel to St. Croix for the day. Unbeknownst to him at the time, Kelly was prone to seasickness, and he and his girlfriend got really seasick on the crossing.
When the group arrived in St. Croix, those onboard took a dingy to shore to look for some dinner. But Kelly and his girlfriend were both still sick and weren’t interested in eating at that point.
The group got its food and decided to head back to the boat to spend the night. Kelly and his girlfriend looked out into the harbor and saw the boat’s mast swaying back and forth, and instead opted to stay in town overnight rather than risk more seasickness on the boat.
There was only one problem: Due to his extreme seasickness and disorientation, Kelly had left his wallet on the boat and had no money or credit cards for a hotel. The two went to a small inn, explained the situation to the innkeeper and offered to settle up in the morning when Kelly could return to the boat to retrieve his wallet.
“And he said, ‘Sure, you can stay here if your girlfriend will sleep with me,’” said Kelly in a telephone interview from his home in the Finger Lakes region of New York.
After being turned down at a second inn, Kelly’s girlfriend said, “It’s a beautiful night. Why don’t we just stretch out on the beach?”
“So we did,” said Kelly. “And that’s all I remember very clearly.”
What happened after that was pieced together through bits of Kelly’s own memory and the recollections of other people. According to those accounts, while sleeping on the beach, Kelly and his girlfriend were the victims of a vicious St. Croix street gang. Kelly was severely beaten by five gang members wielding baseball bats. His girlfriend was raped by the gang leader and the rest were in line. But Kelly’s girlfriend later reported, that Kelly regained consciousness during the attack and fought back, making enough noise to scare off the attackers.
With Kelly drifting in and out of consciousness, the two managed to follow the lights along the shore, eventually making their way to the only St. Croix hospital. Kelly and his girlfriend were thought to be among the first victims of the notorious Fountain Valley Gang, who in 1972 murdered eight tourists and wounded eight more thereby devastating St. Croix tourism for many years.
“I woke up to the sound of my hospital roommate screaming in pain. Finally the screaming stopped and I heard two doctors talking about him. ‘That’s it, he’s gone,’ said one doctor about the other patient. ‘What about him, you think he’s gonna make it?’ And the other doctor said, ‘No, I doubt it.” I realized they were talking about me,” said Kelly.
Kelly did make it, though. He spent several days in the St. Croix hospital, eventually returning to St. Thomas, where he stayed at a friend’s house while he recovered. Eventually he was healthy enough to get back to New York, where doctors at New York Hospital were able to re-break and re-set the bones in his face and address his other injuries.
Returning to his home in Ithaca, New York, still in pain and with constant headaches, Kelly was in no shape to be in a band. But that didn’t prevent him from writing songs.
And it was during this period of convalescence that he began to write some verses for a song, verses that would later become the lyrics for “Dancing in the Moonlight.”
“I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyous celebration of life. It was just me imagining a better world than the one I had just experienced in St. Croix,” said Kelly.
An unspeakably traumatic experience that almost cost him his life had turned into a beautiful song.
“It was amazing. People liked the song right from the start. I liked it, but I wouldn’t have predicted that it would become a big hit,” said Kelly. "
@@martyflipman4737 alr, but you just could simply said that he based the song on his memories while in the hospital because of the attacks at st. Croix.
I was 36 years old, when this song came out and I'm 60 years old now still a great song to hear and dance too. A classic song, and a fun one.

Sherman Kelly released this, july 9, 1972 after the tragic events. Kelly and his girlfriend were jumped by a gang while they were trying to spend the night on a beach together. They were both severely beaten. Sherman Kelly is still alive as of this writing, 80 years old🫡
