additional
The Dutch pop singer Andy Star published a German cover version of Bad Moon Rising in 1969 under the title How beautiful is the world , the lyrics of which, in contrast to the gloomy mood of the original, come across as naively optimistic. A German-language cover version enjoyed great popularity in the GDR. In the text that ended with “yeah, I have to go to the People's Army”, many things were sung about which the soon-to-be-conscript had to say goodbye to. However, the text, which is not entirely suitable for young people, should not be printed here.
The song Bad Moon Rising is popular in Argentina and is sung there with different lyrics in football stadiums.
During the soccer World Cup 2014 , the song Brasil, decime qué se siente (“Brazil, tell me how it feels”), which is based on the melody of Bad Moon Rising , became a perennial favorite among Argentinian fans. The text teases the Brazilian fans. The Argentine players who made it to the final of the World Cup sang the song after their victories together with the fans. After Brazil's devastating semi-final defeat against Germany, the text was adapted.
