"Blue Moon"翻唱的藝人很多，以the Marcels版本成績最好，布魯斯威利的電視影集Moonlighting
｢雙面嬌娃｣選這一首歌當插曲，女主角Cybill Shepherd在某集劇中演唱效果極佳，令人一曲難忘。

BLUE MOON
The Marcels
- words by Lorenz Hart, music by Richard
Rodgers
Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there
for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for
And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper, "Please
adore me"
And when I looked, the moon had turned to
gold
Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
