EDIT: Well darn. Gilbert O'Sullivan doesn't play. Sorry about that.

When I first saw the title of this thread, the first song that popped into my head happened to be the first link posted! Yes, "Moonlight Feels Right". How random is that?!

Here are three of my favorites:

Malo "Suavecito"

King Harvest "Dancing in the Moonlight"

Alan O'Day "Uncover Angel"

Just as well. Gilbert O'Sullivan wasn't exactly a one-hit wonder . . .


Gilbert O'Sullivan, "Clair"


Gilbert O'Sullivan, "Get Down"


How about this two-hit wonder?


Hurrican Smith, "Oh, Babe, What Would You Say?"


Hurricane Smith, "Who Was It?" (written, as it happens, by Gilbert O'Sullivan)

Trivia: Hurricane Smith's real name was Norman Smith---he was once an EMI staff engineer who worked with George Martin during the early height of the Beatles' career before becoming the first producer (for five albums) for Pink Floyd . . .

If you can copy and paste you can link to Youtube or any other site. Go to Youtube and play the vid you want. Next place your cursor at the left side of the address bar at the top of your screen. Left click and hold it down while dragging the cursor over the address. It'll highlight in blue. Make sure you've highlighted everything in the box. Then right click and a few options will pop up on your screen. Left click "copy" and now you've saved the link info.

Next come back to City Data and open up the reply box on this thread. At the top of that box there are a bunch of icons. You want to left click the round blue one. A new box will open up but you'll have to erase what's in it which is something like http:// . Placing your cursor in that box, right click and you'll get a few options again. Left click "copy" and then that address you copied over at Youtube will appear in the box. Left click "OK" and you're done with it.

Now you're ready to become the next Axle Grease!
