Week Ninety-Four: Name-Check - Men Without Hats - "Moonbeam" - Collection

For Name-Check Week, I'll be covering artists who mentioned other bands/singers in their lyrics, also known in some social circles as "name-checking"...

You may recall that I already posted about Men Without Hats during Week Twenty: Wacky 80s; however, today, I am going to give you some more Men Without Hats in the form of their song, "Moonbeam".

This one references Lou Reed, who, of course, was part of The Velvet Underground. I never really got much into The Velvet Underground or even Lou Reed's solo work, but I had a few friends that did. Therefore, I heard "Walk on the Wild Side" a time or two, and that's what I'll also post for you today.

One two three four
(Love-Love-Love-Love)
You, you were on a moon- MOON-BEAM
Me, I was on a star
Gee everything was blue, BLUE-GREEN
Be cause everything was far
Me, I was in a mo- MO-VIE
You, you were in a song
Gee everything was groo, GRO-OVY
We everything was wrong
And no matter where you are
I can always see that far
You were on a MO-ON-BEAM of love
A pretty little moonbeam
It's you I'm thinking of
HEY! I was only trying to say
You're a million miles away
I can feel you dancin' anyway
You, you were on a moonbeam
And me I was in a cloud
And everything was Lou Reed
And everything was loud
No matter where you were
Well I could always see that fer
You were on a MO-ON-BEAM of love
A pretty little moonbeam
Moonbeam of love
A pretty little moonbeam
Shining from above
A pretty little moonbeam
It's you I'm thinking of
A pretty little moonbeam

Do you dream of LOVE
