On Moonlight Bay (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"On Moonlight Bay" is a popular song.
The music was written by Percy Wenrich, the lyrics by Edward Madden. The song was published in 1912. It was often sung in a Barbershop Quartet style, such as by Billy Murray and the American Quartet:
[edit] Chorus
- We were sailing along
- On Moonlight Bay
- You 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
[edit] Trivia
- It has appeared in many Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts, often as a drinking song.
- It is sung by Porky Pig in the ironically-titled 1942 cartoon My Favorite Duck, in which Porky is tormented by Daffy Duck while on a camping trip. It was apparently chosen due to Porky's speech impediment, which is especially noticeable with M's and B's. Daffy, meanwhile, keeps singing "My Mama Done Tol' Me". At one point, Porky unconsciously starts to sing Daffy's number, then stops, looks into the camera with a "Harumph!" and returns to his stuttering version of "Moonlight Bay".
- It is revealed in episode 107 of Family Guy that Brian Griffin has the ability to sing a four-part harmony at the same time. In a flashback scene, this is the song he sings.
- It is sung several times in Nickelodeon's Hey Arnold.
