Keith John Moon (23 August 1946 – 7 September 1978) was an English musician, best known for being the drummer of the English rock group The Who. He gained acclaim for his exuberant and innovative drumming style, and notoriety for his eccentric and often self-destructive behaviour, earning him the nickname "Moon the Loon". Moon joined The Who in 1964. He played on all albums and singles from their debut, 1964's "Zoot Suit", to 1978's Who Are You, which was released three weeks before his death.
Moon was known for dramatic, suspenseful drumming—often eschewing basic back beats for a fluid, busy technique focused on fast, cascading rolls across the toms, ambidextrous double bass drum work and wild cymbal crashes and washes. He is mentioned in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the greatest of all rock and roll drummers, and was posthumously inducted into the Rock Hall as a member of The Who in 1990.
Moon's legacy, as a member of The Who, as a solo artist, and as an eccentric personality, continues to garner awards and praise, including a Rolling Stone readers' pick placing him in second place of the magazine's "best drummers of all time" in 2011, nearly 35 years after his death.

Back door Sally won't you let me in?.
Back door Sally hey open up that door

Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they got no way of knowing
How lonesome I can be
I need somebody to be my baby
Someone to tell my troubles to
I got no time to ever find her
'Cause I'm just passing through
I travel around from town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame
And lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone
I got no rest when I'm feeling weary
I got to pack my bags and go
I got to be somewhere tomorrow
To smile and do my show
I travel around from town to lonely town
I guess I'll always be just a rolling stone
If I find fortune and fame
And lots of people know my name
That won't mean a thing if I'm all alone
Some people call me a teenage idol
Some people say they envy me
I guess they got no way of knowing
How lonesome I can be
It's number one
(It's number one)
On your local radio
(On your local radio)
In the hall of fame, I'll be named
For my contribution
It's solid gold
(It's solid gold)
I'm over come with joy
(And he's over come with joy)
And now I've topped the charts
Bless your hearts, I'm an institution
I tip my hat to you
(I tip my hat to you)
Captains of industry
(Captains of industry)
You made me what I am
(Solid gold, solid gold)
A once unknown production
I'm a household word today eve
And I want to tell the world
(And he wants to tell the world)
That the tax will bite
(Bite)
It's all right
(Right)
Because I'm making millions.
Solid gold, solid gold
Solid gold, solid gold
Solid gold, solid gold
I'm on my way
(He's on his way)
To a life of luxury
(To a life of luxury)
And now I can't back out
There is no doubt, I was meant to make it
Taken all this time to hear him say
It's solid gold
(Solid gold)
Solid gold, all mine
(Solid gold)
Solid solid gold
(Solid gold)
Lovely solid gold
(Solid gold)
Solid gold
(Solid gold)
Lots and lots of solid, solid gold
(Solid gold)
Give me more MCA, more gold
(Solid gold)
Solid gold, I'll do anything, for gold
Life isn't easy when two are divided
And one has decided to bring down the curtain
But one thing's for certain
There's nothing to keep them together
How does it happen that two can be tender
And one be the lender of love and emotion
That covered the ocean of sadness
That kept them together
Love will start with you
It's easy to measure it
Bury a treasure
It's not an adventure
It's more to be certain
That it had to be shared together
Love when it's growing
Is full of surprises
Its temperature rises
From hire to hire
And then turns to fire
Which has to be shared together
Ringo: And here he is, that well-known star of stage, screen, and the rainbow, Mr. Keith Moon! Let's hear it for Keith! It's such a pleasure to see you again, old chap, old buddy, old friend!
Keith: And you, surprised to see, yes, your friend, and his, Mr. Ringo Starr.
Ringo: I don't think we're talking terribly, terribly British, and that is what the man asked for, didn't he, Daphne?
Keith: Yes you did.
Ringo: My girl's so ugly, when she gets up in the morning to do her teeth, the toothpaste backs away down the tube! She's a wonderful woman. My dog doesn't eat meat!
Keith: Your dog, why doesn't your dog eat meat?
Ringo: We don't give it any!
Keith: Why don't you give your dog meat?
Ringo: He's been dead two years now! I'm glad I got that one in! Heh, well, I think we've covered it, don't you?
Keith: Covered it, I think we buried it.
Ringo: Well, well, well.
Keith: Well, well.
Ringo: We could do this all week, but I have a bed to catch. Good night, and over to you!
Love when it's growing is full of surprises
Its temperature rises, from higher to higher
And then turns into fire
Which has to be shared together
How does it happen that two can be tender
And one be the lender of love and emotion
That covered the ocean of sadness

Well it's been building up inside of me
For oh, I don't know how long

But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes (Ah)
And makes me realize (Ah)
When she says (Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright (Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby, ooh)
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now
'Cause I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive (Ah)
And makes me realize (Ah)
When she says (Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright (Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby, ooh)
She told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you
Baby, nothing could go wrong with you"
Oh what she does to me (Ah)
When she makes love to me (Ah)
And she says (Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby)
Everything will turn out alright (Don't worry baby)
Don't worry baby (Don't worry baby, ooh)
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love with me

Oohh ...
There are places I remember
All my life
Though some have changed
Some forever
Not for better
Some have gone
And some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends
I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life
I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one
Compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love
As something new
Though I know I'll never those affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things
That went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life
I love you more
Oohh ...
In my life
Well, now the underground and overjoyed, they come out just the same,
don't wanna get to real man, just wanna play the game.
I guess you knew it all along we was singing in the rain,
can't get to hipped to the down trip, the ship is sailing yet,
and if it sinks you know, that all you really get is wet.
Move over, Ms L.
You know I wish you well.
Move over, Ms L.
You know I wish you well.
Move over, Ms L.
You know I wish you well
(Guitar solo)
Now to err is something human and forgiving so divine,
I'll forgive your trespasses if you forgive mine.
Life's a deal you knew it when you signed the dotted line,
they nail you to the paper put a rope around your neck.
And so we sing along the boy stood on the burning deck.
Move over, Ms L.
You know I wish you well.
Move over, Ms L.
You know I wish you well.
Move over, Ms L.
You know I wish you well
(Guitar Solo and Sax Solo)
Well now momma poppa told me son you better watch your head,
your head is full of snakes boy you're better red than dead.
They're starving back in China that's what they always said.
Can't get head in the head shop yer jeans is full of crap,
you're full of beans you're in your teens,
you lost your Momma's road map.
Move over, Ms L.
You know I wish you well.
Move over, Ms L.
You know I wish you well.
Move over, Ms L.
I don't suppose you wanna make up
I don't suppose you wanna try
You'd like to dream and never wake up
So would I
There's many ways of asking questions
So many ways that you could go
I don't suppose
I don't suppose
I don't suppose you'd wanna know
I wish that I could find the answer
I guess it's written in the stars
You think you're lost without direction
Well, you are
There's many ways of getting answers
So many people you could be
I don't suppose
I don't suppose
I don't suppose you'd wanna see
I like to take you and, and take you, I can stand
I'd like to show you how I feel
The things we used to say
Mistakes of yesterday
Too hazy lately to be real
And it's all so hard
To understand
To all my friends who didn't make it
I'd like to dedicate this song
If you supposed that you could fake it
You were wrong
There's many ways of getting over it
So many ways that you could give
I don't suppose
I don't suppose
I don't suppose you want to live
I don't suppose
I don't suppose
"Who are you?
Where do you come from?
I don't mind
Other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know'em all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind well the kids are alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
But I know if I don't I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind well the kids are alright
I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
I don't mind, other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know'em all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind well the kids are alright
The kids are alright
Sometimes I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind well the kids are alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
