Moon Songs

[Mr Awesomer]

What A Night, What A Moon, What A Girl, Billie Holiday

Thought that was "... what a boy" ermz

It's sung both ways depending on the vocalist... makes you wonder why Holiday sung it about a girl.

God bless bi chicks. What? Nothin.

WOW - Great list of additions for my show on Moon Songs!!!

Thanks especially to Reuben and Mathew!! Some great ideas from that.

Keep the ideas rolling.

Moon over Bourban Street - Sting (yes, it swings)

Off topic...

Are you talking about the version on "Dream of the Blue Turtles"? Never thought of that as really "swingin'". On the occasions I've played Sting it's been "Consider Me Gone" or "Brand New Day" (which is more my favorite).

Just my two pennies...
