I mean in 1969. There are pop songs from that year that sort of work, but none that jump off the page.
"Bad Moon Rising" - well, I'm not sure a bad moon is what we are looking for.
In "Aquarius" the moon is in the seventh house, but that's the last we hear of it.
"Good Morning Starshine" has stars, not the moon.
I think that leaves an entirely forgettable song by Paul Revere and the Raiders,
So maybe we try 1968, for the first moon orbiting and looking at the "dark" side of the moon.
Nothing. No moon songs in 1968.
Not from 1969, but from circa 1964...in anticipation of the moon expedition: a short film 'With Their Eyes of the Stars', positioning space exploration in the context of American history and exploration, includes traditional music as well as some written for the film.

Suggest Armstrong Alden and Collins by The Byrds. "The team below that gave the go/they had God's helping hand"
