Really? I've never done a moon countdown? Time to change that!!
The month of June brings summer, June bugs, weddings, and now a moon countdown!!
As usual, the first 20 will be alphabetical, with my ten favorites at the end.
I'm not a huge fan of the song "Fly Me to the Moon," but I thought I'd get attacked if I didn't use it. So here's Homer and Jethro's version, which might get me attacked anyway.

Looks more like she's thinking "I'm not getting paid enough for this."

I know, that’s one of the things that makes it so funny.

@BarBaraPrz — she was married to Don Bowman, so she probably wasn’t getting paid enough for that, either.

The thing I find funny is that Kaye Ballard did the first recording of it, in 1954. I only knew her as a comedian and actress, not as a singer, when I was growing up.

@FourWalls And was produced second round by Chet Atkins. That was interesting too.

@kareng — in a related note, Chet and Jethro of Homer and Jethro were brothers in law.

The entire album is like that, basically turning pop ballads into modified bluegrass songs.

I’ll be mooning everyone all month long, so it’ll at least be cheeky.

It was definitely intended to make people laugh. Homer and Jethro were Weird Al before Weird Al was even born! (They won a Grammy the year Weird Al was born, 1959.)

You should hear their version of “Moon River.”
No, wait, you shouldn’t.
