Chart History
From the album Green River,
Bad Moon Risin' was a
#2 Pop as a re-release in 1991 hit for CCR in 1969.
Songwriter:
John Fogerty
J's Journal:
We've done other songs about the Antichrist, but the main point of this song was from 2 Thessalonians, in which Paul says that Christ won't come back until the Antichrist comes, so don't believe anybody who tells you Christ has already come.
CCR never had a #1 hit, but they had five songs that stalled at #2, including three of them in 1969 ("Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," and "Green River"), which was the same year that another group that never hit #1, Blood Sweat & Tears, also had three #2 hits ("You've Made Me So Very Happy," "Spinnin' Wheel," and "And When I Die."

Bad Dude Risin'
Parody of "Bad Moon Risin'" by CCR
(2 Thessalonians 2:1-12)
I see a bad dude arisin’; I see the devil on the way
I see a master of disguises; I see the world led astray
Don’t fall for the lies ‘cause he’s just a fake, not Christ
There’s a bad dude on the rise
I read in Second Thessalonians; I know the man is comin’ soon
He’ll set himself upon the throne and he’ll get the world to play his tune
Don’t get all surprised ‘cause he comes before the Christ
First the bad dude must arise
He’ll bring the countries all together. They’ll see his miracles and signs
They’ll think this world is gettin’ better. They’ll find he’s really anti-Christ
2 Thessalonians 2:3-4
Don't let anyone deceive you in any way, for (that day will not come) until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God's temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
