"Brazil, tell me how it feels!"
The hit that popularized the Argentine fans at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, invented by a shameless and creative group of fans, is based on the melody of the famous song
Bad Moon Rising
, which the American band Creedence Clearwater Revival composed and brought to the sales peak in the
late 1960s
.
"It is fabulous and a great honor that our song has become
the song of Argentine victory
. Thank you very much and the best of luck,
"
Clifford, the drummer of the band
, told
Clarín at the
time.
It's called Creedence Clearwater Revisited.
Another member, bassist Stu Cook, added that “Creedence fans in Argentina know that Bad Moon Rising strikes and drives fear into the hearts of their World Cup rivals.
That's very good. "The band has
many followers in our country
and they have already traveled several times to play their classics in Buenos Aires.

Bad Moon Rising
was written by another of Creedence's original members, John Fogerty, who fell out with the group at the time, launched himself as a solo artist, and rarely sang it again.
A movie scene with a hurricane was the source of inspiration for Fogerty's hit.
The song was released in April 1969 and reached the top of the Billboard charts within a few months.
Since then, the original song
has been recorded and reverted by at least 20 artists
in the last decades, in the most diverse styles, from folk, to reggae to psychedelic rock.
