Dancing In The Moonlight
King Harvest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

We get it on most every night
And when that moon gets big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancing in the moonlight

Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight
Everybody's feeling warm and bright
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

Overall Meaning

King Harvest's "Dancing In the Moonlight" is a joyful celebration of the joys of dancing under the moon's glow. The lyrics allude to the fact that this is an almost every night occurrence and that everyone who partakes enjoys it immensely, finding it natural and freeing. The view of the moon and its magical, mystical presence seems to amplify the pleasure that people are feeling when they dance. In fact, the natural occurrences of the world like the glow of the moon, the warmth of the night, and the looseness and lightness of the people are ideal moments to connect with nature and oneself, which ultimately results in a supernatural delight.


The song emphasizes how the scene of dancing people is devoid of any aggressive or negative energy, where individuals are not barking or biting, but rather keeping loose and light. The lyrics proclaim that dancing and fun are essential parts of life, where one shouldn't take dancing too seriously- the idea behind the song is to let loose, dance under the moonlight, and let natural light and rhythm connect them.


Overall, "Dancing In the Moonlight" offers an up-tempo invitation to dance with life with abandon, allow natural light and feel the pleasure and delight of dancing under the moon. It captures the fleeting beauty of life and the simple pleasures that offer so much joy to people.

THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF GREAT SONGS LIKE THIS THROUGHOUT THE 70s !

MOTOWN, DISCO, ROCK, FUNK & SOUL MUSIC WERE ALL AT THEIR PEAK IN THE 70s !

THERE WERE EVEN GREAT COUNTRY SONGS IN THE 70s ! AND COUNTRY MUSIC SUCKS !

BUT THEY HAD GREAT COUNTRY SONGS LIKE-- THE NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT IN GEORGIA !

THAT'S A GREAT SONG... A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK REBA McINTYRE MADE THAT SONG IN 2012 !

THE REAL SONG, THE GOOD VERSION, WAS MADE BY VICKI LAWRENCE IN 1973 !

FOR YOU YOUNG PEOPLE, VICKI LAWRENCE WAS ALSO ON THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW...

THAT WAS A LEGENDARY COMEDY SHOW THAT WAS VERY POPULAR IN THE 70s !

A GREAT DISCO RECORD WAS MADE IN THE 70s CALLED-- TURN THE BEAT AROUND....

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK GLORIA ESTEFAN MADE THAT SONG IN THE 90S, BUT

IT WAS FIRST MADE BY VICKI SUE ROBINSON IN 1976 !

AND SHE COMPLAINED THAT GLORIA ESTEFAN DIRECTLY COPIED HER SONG !

WHEN YOU LISTEN TO BOTH, YOU CAN BARELY TELL THAT 2 DIFFERENT PEOPLE MADE THOSE SONGS !

GLORIA SAID HER VERSION WAS DIFFERENT, BUT IT SOUNDS THE SAME TO ME !

THE 70s MADE SO MANY GREAT SONGS....

THE JACKSON 5... BARRY WHITE.... THE ROLLING STONES... EARTH WIND & FIRE.... KC & THE SUNSHINE BAND... ELTON JOHN... TEDDY PENDERGRASS....

THEY WERE ALL PUMPING OUT ONE GREAT SONG AFTER ANOTHER !

AND THAT'S ONLY A SHORT LIST OF THE MUSICAL GREATS OF THE 1970s !

We get it on most every night
When that old moon gets so big and bright
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark, and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark, and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things light
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight
Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

Beautiful, Wonderful, Incredible memories that bring a VERY big meaningful survival tactic that I grabbed on to, when I was struggleing to live. This song played an instrumental part of me being alive, today. Along with my ABSOLUTE, most BEST friend in the world, Sofi. I was 16, and very suicidal, and actually attempted 5 times, before I was 16. I awoke from a coma, to this song. Sofi, by my side. That's when I decided to fight. 44 years later, I've come a long way. And Sofi, me, and this song, continue to be a combined effort to bring about an awareness of mental health issues. At that time, no one knew. I actually don't know how to accurately express express those emotions. All I can say is, THANK YOU for posting. And, I'm doing well.
