Blue Moon ( 1934 song ) - wikipedia Blue Moon ( 1934 song ) For the song by Steve Holy, see Blue Moon ( Steve Holy song ). `` Blue Moon '' Song Published 1935 Composer ( s ) Richard Rodgers Lyricist ( s ) Lorenz Hart `` Blue Moon '' is a classic popular song written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934, and has become a standard ballad. It may be the first instance of the familiar `` 50s progression '' in a popular song. The song was a hit twice in 1949 with successful recordings in the US by Billy Eckstine and Mel Tormé. In 1961, `` Blue Moon '' became an international number one hit for the doo - wop group The Marcels, on the Billboard 100 chart and in the UK Singles chart. Over the years, `` Blue Moon '' has been covered by various artists including versions by Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, Elvis Presley, The Mavericks, Dean Martin, The Supremes and Rod Stewart. Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his album On the Happy Side ( 1962 ). It is also the anthem of English Premier League football club Manchester City, who have adapted the song slightly.

They were soon commissioned to write the songs for Hollywood Party, a film that was to star many of the studio 's top artists. Richard Rodgers recalled, `` One of our ideas was to include a scene in which Jean Harlow is shown as an innocent young girl saying -- or rather singing -- her prayers. How the sequence fitted into the movie I have n't the foggiest notion, but the purpose was to express Harlow 's overwhelming ambition to become a movie star ( ' Oh Lord, if you 're not busy up there, / I ask for help with a prayer / So please do n't give me the air... ' ). '' The song was not recorded ( nor was the movie released ) and MGM Song # 225 `` Prayer ( Oh Lord, make me a movie star ) '' dated June 14, 1933, was registered for copyright as an unpublished work on July 10, 1933. Lorenz Hart wrote new lyrics for the tune to create a title song for the 1934 film Manhattan Melodrama : `` Act One : / You gulp your coffee and run ; / Into the subway you crowd. / Do n't breathe, it is n't allowed ''. The song, which was also titled `` It 's Just That Kind of Play '', was cut from the film before release, and registered for copyright as an unpublished work on March 30, 1934. The studio then asked for a nightclub number for the film. Rodgers still liked the melody so Hart wrote a third lyric : `` The Bad in Every Man '' ( `` Oh, Lord... / I could be good to a lover, / But then I always discover / The bad in ev'ry man '' ), which was sung by Shirley Ross. The song, which was also released as sheet music, was not a hit. After the film was released by MGM, Jack Robbins -- the head of the studio 's publishing company -- decided that the tune was suited to commercial release but needed more romantic lyrics and a punchier title. Hart was initially reluctant to write yet another lyric but he was persuaded. The result was `` Blue moon / you saw me standing alone / without a dream in my heart / without a love of my own ''. There is an introductory verse ( a common technique employed by songwriters of the 1920s and 1930s ) that comes before the first refrain of the song. Eric Clapton and Rod Stewart used it in their 2004 version of the song ( Stardust : The Great American Songbook, Volume III ). The last line of this extra verse is `` Life was a bitter cup for the saddest of all men. '' Robbins licensed the song to Hollywood Hotel, a radio program that used it as the theme. On January 15, 1935, Connee Boswell recorded it for Brunswick Records. It subsequently was featured in at least seven MGM films including the Marx Brothers ' At the Circus and Viva Las Vegas.

His cover version of the song was included on his 1956 debut album Elvis Presley, issued on RCA Records. Presley 's remake of `` Blue Moon '' was coupled with `` Just Because '' as a single in August 1956. `` Blue Moon '' spent an impressive seventeen weeks on the Billboard Top 100, although it only reached # 55. In Jim Jarmusch 's 1989 film Mystery Train, the three distinct stories that make up the narrative are linked by a portion of Elvis Presley 's version of `` Blue Moon '' ( as heard on a radio broadcast ) and a subsequent offscreen gunshot, which are heard once during each story, revealing that the three stories occur simultaneously in real time. Marcels version `` Blue Moon '' Single by The Marcels from the album Blue Moon B - side `` Goodbye to Love '' Released February 1961 Format 7 - inch single Recorded 1961 Genre Rock and roll, doo - wop, R&B Length 2 : 15 Label Colpix Songwriter ( s ) Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart Producer ( s ) Stu Phillips, Danny Winchell The Marcels singles chronology `` Blue Moon '' ( 1961 ) `` Summertime '' ( 1961 ) `` Blue Moon '' ( 1961 ) `` Summertime '' ( 1961 ) Background The Marcels, a doo - wop group, also recorded the track for their album Blue Moon. In 1961, the Marcels had three songs left to record and needed one more. Producer Stu Phillips did not like any of the other songs except one that had the same chord changes as `` Heart and Soul '' and `` Blue Moon ''. He asked them if they knew either, and one knew `` Blue Moon '' and taught it to the others, though with the bridge or release ( middle section - `` I heard somebody whisper... '' ) wrong. The famous introduction to the song ( `` bomp - baba - bomp '' and `` dip - da - dip '' ) was an excerpt of an original song that the group had in its act. Reception The record reached number one on the Billboard Pop chart for three weeks and number one on the R&B chart. It also peaked at # 1 on the UK Singles Chart. The Marcels ' version of `` Blue Moon '' sold a million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. It is featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. The Marcels doo - wop version is one of three different versions used in the 1981 film An American Werewolf in London with this version appearing at the end credits of the film. A version by Bobby Vinton plays during the film 's opening titles while a version by Sam Cooke plays during the film 's famous werewolf transformation scene. The Marcels ' version of the song is referenced in the 1962 Academy Award nominated animated short Disney musical film, A Symposium on Popular Songs during the song, `` Puppy Love Is Here to Stay '' written by Robert & Richard Sherman.
