<p>Songwriter(s) Composer: Percy Wenrich Lyricist: Edward Madden "Moonlight Bay" is a popular song. It is commonly referred to as "On Moonlight Bay". The lyrics were written by Edward Madden, the music by Percy Wenrich, and was published in 1912. It is often sung in a barbershop quartet style. Early successful recordings in 1912 were by the American Quartet and by Dolly Connolly. Notable covers Glenn Miller and his Orchestra recorded the song on March 22, 1937 with a special swing arrangement by Miler. The song was featured the film Tin Pan Alley (1940) when it was sung by Alice Faye. Miss Faye also included the song in her 1962 album Alice Faye Sings Her Greatest Movie Hits. The Mills Brothers recorded the song in 1940 for Decca Records. The song was featured in the film On Moonlight Bay (1951) when it was sung by Doris Day and Gordon MacRae. Miss Day also recorded the song commercially and it appeared on her album On Moonlight Bay. A duet performance by Bing Crosby and Gary Crosby was recorded on March 22, 1951 and reached No. 14 in the Billboard charts in 1951. The Beatles performed "Moonlight Bay" with comedians Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise on the duo's ATV programme Two of a Kind in December 1963. A recording of the performance was released on the Beatles' Anthology 1 in 1995. Verses Voices hum, crooning over Moonlight Bay Banjos strum, tuning while the moonbeams play All alone, unknown they find me Memories like these remind me Of the girl I left behind me Down on Moonlight Bay Candle lights gleaming on the silent shore Lonely nights, dreaming till we meet once more Far apart, her heart, is yearning With a sigh for my returning With the light of love still burning As in days of yore Chorus We were sailing along On Moonlight Bay. We could hear the voices ringing; They seemed to say, "You have stolen my heart" "Now don't go 'way!" As we sang Love's Old Sweet Song On Moonlight Bay Some sources alter the third line of the chorus from "voices ringing" to "darkies singing," to appeal to minstrel show tastes. However, the original sheet music and 1912 recordings use the lyrics above. Beatles Version We were strolling along (twist and shout!) On Moonlight Bay (whoo!) We could hear the voices singing (I like it!) You said you'd stay (Keep up, Bongo!) You have broken my heart (oh, twist and shout!) So go away ('Have the Beatles gone?' 'No, they're here!') With your short, fat hairy legs On Moonlight Bay On Moonlight Bay</p><h2><br></h2><h2> 0 Comments </h2><p><br></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Page: 1</p><p><img src="https://singsnap.imgix.net/avatars/780bf8b9a2_646243_photo.jpg?w=100"></p><p><a href="https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/profile/646243/info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> 2heartsAMDG </a><span style="color: rgb(182, 151, 75);"> g </span></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Sep 12, 2017 10:51PM</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Oh Darling,</p><p>This is sooooo dreamy </p><p>Ahhhhhh</p><p>I need you in the moonlight with me</p><p>Muah</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>REPLY</p><p><img src="https://singsnap.imgix.net/avatars/780bf8b9a2_646243_photo.jpg?w=100"></p><p><a href="https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/profile/646243/info" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> 2heartsAMDG </a><span style="color: rgb(182, 151, 75);"> g </span></p><p>Please continue to pray for my heart and lungs, thank you sweet friends ❤️</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Sep 12, 2017 10:52PM</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>My Baby </p><p>My Crooner Love</p><p>Fantabulous Sing </p><p>Love Love Love</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
