[78-L] Of Moons and Bad Men

[Malcolm Rockwell]

I was watching "Manhattan Melodrama" (1934) with Clark Gable, William 
Powell and Myrna Loy (and we had a great time... never mind) last night 
on PBS when in one scene a female nightclub singer did a tune called (I 
think) "The Bad In Every Man." Only problem is is was actually "Blue 
Moon" (Blue Moon, you left me standing alone, etc.). The melody line and 
chord progression were an exact match but the lyrics were entirely 
different. So, which came first the Bad Man or the Blue Moon?
