I've had this idea rolling around in my head of a playlist consisting entirely of songs that have to do with the moon. The moon is so literally and metaphorically powerful, it controls the tides, females align with the moon, and full moons always bring craziness into my life, so I thought I would pay a little homage to that great, big, romantic symbol in the night sky. Sometimes, it just feels good to howl at the moon.
"Moon River" by Louis Armstrong
"It's Only a Paper Moon" by Nat King Cole
"It's Only a Paper Moon" by Rufus Wainwright
I couldn't find the Louis Prima version of "It's Only a Paper Moon", so instead I have included a traditional Nat King Cole version as a light apertif, but then I found the creepiest version ever by Rufus Wainwright that is faintly reminiscent of Taco's "Puttin' on the Ritz" so I just had to add that in too. (You'll have to copy and paste this one)
