Is it just me or does this song just give a feeling of nostalgia for no reason?

I remember me and my husband would always dance to this song every night when we would go to a bar. 3 years ago he past away with cancer, and everytime I hear this song I just want to remember him with me all the time. I miss him so much

This is not a simple song.... it is a true anthem of humanity.

Was having the worst day at work and when this song came on during clean up, I just started smiling and singing along. Turned into a sing-along with all my co workers in the kitchen, just jamming out without a care in the world.

My Dad loved this song and it was played at his funeral service as the last song. And it still manages to make me smile, even though I thought it'd hurt to listen to it afterwards. It's a great song and my Dad had great taste in music.

This song brings me memories I don’t think are mine

This is my favorite song because it's connected with a very precious memory from my childhood. My parents got divorced when I was 2 years old. I stayed with my mom and I saw my dad from time to time. Until I was 5 years old I saw him every 2 weeks and when I was 4 or 5 years old he listened to this song all the time on repeat. We listened to it while we were in his art studio and he was working on his projects and I was playing next to him and it was such a peaceful atmosphere. The older I got the more complicated my relationship to him got because he got depression and wasn't able to care for his children anymore. Later he died and at that time he became already something like a stranger for me even if I always loved him very much. So this song puts me always back to those moments where everything was peaceful and good.

I’m 25 years old, I really love this song. I can’t believe the original song is born in 70’s.

This ages like wine.

when the world ends this song will be in the credits

This song hits such a perfectly delicate balance between pumped up and chilled out.

もう23年も前の曲。古さを感じない。キラキラ楽しい気分になる。

this song has the strongest nostalgia attached to it and i cant even figure out why

A perfect song for a dance before an apocalypse

DANCIN IN THE MOONLIGHT EVERYBODYS FEELING WARM BRIGHT🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I was 36 years old, when this song came out and I'm 60 years old now still a great song to hear and dance too. A classic song, and a fun one.

this tune can turn you from being sad to feeling absolutely on top of the world

I honestly have no idea what feeling this song gives me, it’s like a mix of happiness, regret, nostalgia, gratefulness, idk it’s just a rainbow feeling song.

I don’t have a sad story to share for this song, I just really like it.

When the music was actual music

In 1973, when we had a hit with Sherman Kelly's Dancing on the Moonlight, it was unimaginable to think that four generations of listeners around the world would be enjoying the song 20 years into the next century!. Toploader brought Dancing in the Moonlight into the 21st century where it is now firmly established as one of the most successful songs to come out of the 70s. Kudos to them.

I lost my best friend Tom 2 years ago from a overdose, while going through some old boxes I found a few burned CDs that were his when we were in high school, he gave me them years back. Well the first song was this one. I'm going to give this CD to his sister, after I'm done crying like a little girl.

We get it almost every night When that moon is big and bright It's a supernatural delight 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 'em tight Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight Dancin' in the moonlight Everybody's feelin' warm and bright 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 bright It's such a fine and natural sight Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight We get it almost every night When that moon is big and bright It's a supernatural delight Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight Dancin' in the moonlight Everybody's feelin' warm and bright It's such a fine and natural sight Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight Dancin' in the moonlight Everybody's feelin' warm and bright It's such a fine and natural sight Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight Dancin' in the moonlight Everybody's feelin' warm and bright It's such a fine and natural sight Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight Dancin' in the moonlight Everybody's feelin' warm and bright It's such a fine and natural sight Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight Dancin' in the moonlight Everybody's feelin' warm and bright It's such a fine and natural sight Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

This song fit the Total Eclipse yesterday 😁

Does this song actually increase dopamine levels for everyone else or is just me?

I worked on this video. It was a mad shoot. We had to clear out an entire house in New Cross. It was about an 18 hour day if I remember. The video still looks great to this day. I remember the director loved those fairy lights and put them all over the place. I spent a lot of the time encouraging people to dance on the top floor to keep the vibe going :) Those were the days, hanging out with fashion models and going to wild parties - another lifetime :) This is the first time I have actually watched the whole video! I worked on so many back in the day but I remember this one.

What a GREAT wonderful tune! It’s hard to believe the original came out fifty one years ago. It’s Dec. 2023 today and I may be old, but this song always makes me smile, groove, and feel young!

Anyone listening in 2024

What an amazing song, makes you forget your anxiety, worries & stress. Takes you into that fantasy where life is all good.

One night in Berlin my ex-girl and I have decided to go and explore the most peculiar pubs in the city. So after a few places we were going drunk and it started snowing hard when we arrived in a small and perfect cocktail-bar that was themed by the 90's. I remember they even had a Nintendo 64 where you could play Super Smash Bros. They also had the most beautiful playlist, which included this song. I remember that while listening to it, sipping tasty beverages and laughing on how we sucked at the game we first confessed each other about our love. From this day on for years until we broke up this remained our song. From that day onward this song will always remind me of the beauty in being young, naive and in love for the first time. Thank you for reading

Wish YT had a love button... or we could like the song more than once 🎉

This song just hits differently once you know the story of why it was written...😢

I have no significant memory associated with this song yet it still feels nostalgic Holy shit I found this comment after 11 months and it banged, thanks lads 💙

My brother turned the volume on when this song came up in his playlist. We were driving along a highway surrounded by mountains on both sides facing toward the sunset. It was so beautiful and for once in awhile, I felt like there’s nothing to worry about and I wanted to remember this moment as long as I can.

2024 attendance ✅ still dancing in the moonlight

I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for this song

Does anyone else get this song randomly caught in their head at times?

this is the type of song that makes me happy for no reason

2024 we still here 🎉❤

This song will never get old, I want this song played at my funeral I will forever love this song and the way it makes me feel 🥰😍

This song isn't recommended. We searched for it

This song would be perfect for the worlds end credits when everyone's dead

This version of this song always hits and never gets old

Fixing to turn 61. And I still love the oldies, classics, etc. this one especially.

This was out when my son was 11 .And had a malignant brain tumour. We used to listen 👂 to it on he's portable cd player. In St James in leeds we are from hull. This was our happy song. And still is he's 33 now xx

This song gives off a nostalgic feel that you've never even experienced

Its really heartwarming and heartbreaking to see all positive comments regarding this song, knowing what story is behind it's creation.

I remember my older brother that always love to show me many bands as he is a musician himself, this song is such a classic from my childhood. I'm revisiting all the music clips from the start of my life, when I was little. This is a golden one.

No matter the struggle, this song instantly changes your mood and for 4 mins, your problems don't exist. The power of music 🙏🏼

This is the kind of song that everyone likes for no particular reason. Edit: This is the most likes I've ever had and I accidentally started an argument too lol. Thanks everyone. Hope you're all having a good day and that you can dance in the moonlight...

wow just learned the dark backstory to this song. Really hits you different when you realize the inspiration that the writer had to write this song.

This song makes me happy every time I listen to it❤

This song has a certain vibe. You could play it at an old folks home during puzzle hour and at a dingy club at 0200 in the morning and it would be loved by all who heard it.

Played this song at my wedding on the beach in Mexico. Will never forget it. Fantastic memory.

As someone who grew up when King Harvest came out with this great song and never really get tired of it. This is a fresh version and love the vibe. Great job! Sherman Kelly and Dave Robinson are so proud.

One of the best feel good songs ever made. It's easily one of my favourite songs they play on the radio.

Whenever I hear this song, I get flashbacks to Four Lions

When this song came out I was partying and getting high in college and starting a family wasn’t even an option in my mind, now I’m listening to this on AirPods with my wife and son sleeping next to me, shits cray

I remember when my then girlfriend was ill and I sang this tune in my girlfriend ears. I will never forget that you know. I still speak to her and have recently been round her house to see her and her son. It was really good to see the both of them. I still love her I always will

I'm dancing in the kitchen at 2:30 AM to this song, it's so fun!

song is very special to me. When I was in the fourth grade our school was participating in a field hockey tournament in the next town. I took the transport the school provided, seeing as my family hadn't owned a car at the time. After the tournament was finished me and 2 other of my teammates were the only ones taking the bus home. Our driver the coach took us to McDonald's and told us we could have anything we wanted. On our way back this song came on the radio and we sang and enjoyed ourselves very much.

After all these years, I still love this song so much !

That nostalgia you guys feel, is youth drifting away from us

I'm playing this as apart of a setlist in my band. Must say, the bass is very simple when you master your transitioning skills, same pattern goes through the whole song, yet there are so many improvised parts including fills, octaves, etc that make this song so much more interesting and unique, like you can play the same fill over and over as opposed to doing all the different ones the bass in this song does, and no one would even tell because it all sounds good. I'm a bit of a bass nerd so excuse me, haha. Love this song

This song feels ver timeless. Almost like it has always existed. Like it's the first song ever written.

This was the last song I listened to with my parents. I’m currently sobbing, because I can never get that feeling of pure bliss, listening to the radio, ever again. I love you Mami and Papi. Soon, we’ll be dancing together, dancing in the moonlight.

I've just come across this song, and oh my, it's like heaven to my ears! I'm sure I'll be endlessly enchanted by listening to it! 😭💗

the story behind this song is so sad. if something so warm and nice and wholesome can come from such a dark place, then surely we all can bounce back happier and warmer and ready to believe in love again.

11 years later and still the same masterpiece

Just imagine a summer night dancing to this song in a beach bar with unknown people feeling the song

Sounds like a 90s song, i love it

I was born in 2009 have no nostalgia for it and it still slaps

My dad played this song at my wedding two months ago. I grew up with him singing this to me. This song holds a special place in my heart.

I want this to be my wedding song; I’ll let y’all know when it happens :)

Can you imagine hitting such a banger and making it rich off of one song? Well done, lads. I hope you all have mansions.

My step dad who loves the song recently passed away so this song has such a deep meaning to me ❤

"don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"

"Dancing in the Moonlight" is a song originally recorded by the French-American rock group King Harvest. The song was written by Sherman Kelly, produced by Jack Robinson, originally recorded in 1970 by Kelly's band Boffalongo, and then released as a single by King Harvest in 1972, reaching number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2000 a cover by English band Toploader became a worldwide hit and achieved multi-Platinum status in the United Kingdom.

2000.. 2024 (24 years ago) April 2024.. Anyone still listening ?

Playing Driver on my PS1, late at night, this song on (very quietly) in the background, I had a silver venetian blind next to my cabin bed which let just enough light in from the streetlights to feel like I was in a hideout in a movie, I had a halogen desk lamp, and I'd snuck a can of coke upstairs as part of a midnight snack. Life was good. That opening riff takes me back to that exact, magical moment in 2001 every single time I hear it. Cheers Toploader for this absolute banger, it may not be the first version, but to me, it's irreplaceable

This song reminds me of the feeling after a feel-good movie, when the credits start rolling up and you just sit there with the feeling that life is good and that everything will just turn out okay. I don't know how to describe that feeling of bliss, but this song is that explanation. I cannot express how much I love this song.

I swear this song was constantly on the radio all the way through the 2000’s

This was the best part of A Walk To Remember!

oh the nostalgia...

The song that middle-aged women and teenagers can both like

No matter what mood you are in, the second you play this it instantly makes you feel happy and nostalgic.

This song will pick your mood up regardless of what's going on in your life.

2024 Gang!

This song hits hard, I used to listen it with some friends in high school on our way to revise for exams at the library, then one of them died unexpectedly the year after I left. I listened to this on repeat the week of my friends funeral. She would have been in her 30s now, she was only 16. Be grateful for every day x

This song feels like when ur crush asks u out

İn 2000 i was going to gym,this song was playing.Old nice days.miss so much

THE COOLEST VERSION EVER!!! GOTTA HAND IT TO THESE GUYS... THEY'RE THE DEFINITION OF COOL... THIS VERSION IS 100 TIMES BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!!! I'M 58 AND I REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL VERY WELL BUT THIS ONE IS MIND-BLOWING!!!

I'm getting married this coming September 28 and I'm going to play this during our dance with my wife :)

Almost passed at the start of 2024 this song kept me going through the hard times to cheer me up

I remember the original version by King Harvest, and this cover is fantastic. Love it!

Whoever edited that 'Four Lions' with the Nice truck attack. Salute.

It's november 2021, let's see how many heroes are listening to this

This is the song that I really was touched by when I was in UK.

This song was released in 1999. Still a banger.

Who else searched for this song because it just crossed your mind?
