32 Best Moon Songs – Songs With Moon in the Title
Last Updated: March 9, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)
We don’t think there is a set day for National Howl At The Moon Day on an annual basis. It always seems to be around Memorial Day (September/October timeframe). For organizers in the future, we highly suggest making the day a full moon day.
You can also play moon songs on Moon Day celebrated on July 20.
What better way to celebrate Howl At The Moon Day than with a list of songs with moon in the song title? Am I the only one that thinks of howling at the moon when thinking of werewolves?
You will find “Werewolves of London” in the list but the song does not have the word moon in the song title. Enjoy my list.
