Songfacts:  You can leave comments about the song at the bottom of the page.

This one hit wonder was used in the TV miniseries The '70s. In it, one of the female main characters happens to be present at the recording, where the band is using the lyrics "Singing In the Moonlight." The young girl comments that she personally likes "Dancing" in the moonlight and they change the lyrics. (thanks, Daina - Medina, NY)

British band Toploader had a #7 hit in the UK with a cover of this after it was featured in a Sainsbury supermarket TV advert.

King Harvest is the name of a song by the Band on their classic 1968 album. In fact, the song sounds like it could have been a Band song in that era, though it's got that commercial production touch that the Band just couldn't be bothered with.
