Soundful Sunday Prompt | October 19, 2025

The hit song “Bad Moon Rising” by Credence Clearwater Revival is a “happy-sounding tune” about the end of the world.

Songwriter and lead singer John Fogerty later said:“It wasn't until the band was learning the song that I realized the dichotomy. Here you've got this song with all these hurricanes and blowing and raging ruin and all that, but it's 'I see a bad moon rising.' It's a happy-sounding tune, right? It didn't bother me at the time.”

Prompt: Create a “happy-sounding tune” of something that’s a little dark or sinister. Doesn’t have to be a literal tune, and it doesn’t have to be about the end of the world. See where your imagination takes you!
