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.

  1. Dennis DeYoung (of Styx) – Desert Moon (1984); Starbuck – Moonlight Feels Right (1973); Mike Oldfield – Moonlight Shadow (1983); Duran Duran – New Moon On Monday (1983); Foreigner – Girl On The Moon (1982); April Wine – Bad Side Of The Moon (1972).

  2. Overlooked on this list, and in the pop charts, was Moonlight On Water, released by Kevin Raleigh in 1989 and covered by Laura Branigan in 1990.

    1. Hi LJ. Thanks for the recommendation. However, our list is focused on the word “Moon” and not “Moonlight”. We will definitely add the song to a list of moonlight songs!

    1. Hi Rick. Thanks for the song suggestions. I added the Neville Brothers song. However, Pink Floyd is an album and not a song. However, I added it to the bottom of the list!
