“Howlin at the Moon” was written and recorded by country-western singer Hank Williams in 1951. While it is a very typical country song, it has an atypical power and influence over a wide variety of listeners. Paige Hinkel writes for the University of Texas:

[Verse 1]
I know there's never been a man
In the awful shape I'm in
I can't even spell my name
My heads in such a spin
Today I tried to eat a steak
With a big old table-spoon
You got me chasin' rabbits, walkin' on my hands
And howlin' at the moon
[Verse 2]
Well sug, I took one look at you
And it almost drove me mad
And then I even went and lost
What little sense I had
Now I can't tell the day from night
I'm crazy as a loon
You got me chasin' rabbits, pullin' out my hair
And howlin' at the moon
[Verse 3]
Some friends of mine asked me to go
Out on a huntin' spree
'Cause there ain't a hound dog in this state
That can hold a light to me
I eat three bones for dinner today
Then tried to tree a 'coon
You got me chasin' rabbits, scratchin' fleas
And howlin' at the moon
[Verse 4]
I rode my horse to town today
And a gas pump we did pass
I pulled 'im up and I hollered whoa
And said, "Fill 'im up with gas"
The man picked up a monkey wrench
And wham, he changed my tune
You got me chasin' rabbits, spittin' out teeth
And howlin' at the moon
[Verse 5]
I never thought in this old world
A fool could fall so hard
But honey baby, when I fell
The whole world must have jarred
I think I'd quit my doggish ways
If you'd take me for your groom
You got me chasin' rabbits, pickin' out rings
And howlin' at the moon
Howlin’ at the Moon was written by Hank Williams.
