I agree that lot of things have changed over the years... but all I know is life is just a journey in which we all live in certain times and phases...this era was something very special.. beautiful song...brings back memories...of camp.. summer fun etc...

@TheJCT1830 God bless you. I am sorry for your loss. The brightest candles always seem to burn out too quick... But I say thats what made it worth lighting!
I just started humming this song to myself for some reason. I was happy to see there was a high quality stereo version posted. Thank you for posting this song. It really does bring back alot of nice memories for me. I never did hear the complete version, so this was a nice treat to hear it. Did Terry Black have any other popular songs or hits? His voice sounds familiar, but I can't place the song his voice reminds me of. They don't make songs or movies like this anymore, which is a shame really.

Some 15 years ago I translated this film into my own language for dubbing purposes. From all the maybe 500 movies I have translated, Meatballs was absolutely the best fun. And this song was the best part of that fun. It's a shame the world has changed so much since the time the film was made and nothing will ever be the same.
Thank you so much for posting, tx71cindy... I've searched everywhere for this song, and my friends think I'm crazy, but no matter how many times I hear it, it never gets old... So beautiful, although I have to say I prefer the shorter, slower version... Thanks again!!!
I was looking for sheet music for this tune online just a bit ago and in my googlage I came across a food site with a recipe for "Moondust Meatballs." And yes, it was in reference to this song and that movie.
Of my all time favorite romantic songs for a romantic scene, this one is very-high on the list. I've watched the movie before just to hear this song. I think it reached me as a song for a moment I never had, but wished I had. The movie was really funny, too. It's a gem that many people have never seen or heard. Thanks Bill for making it so funny, thanks Terry (RIP) for this wonderful song.
I worked with Terry in 2006 on a radio play CD I was producing. He was a very nice guy with a great sense of humor. He also co-hosted a show on CHNL in Kamloops called the 60's at 6 which was great to listen to.
I saw this movie for 9 straight Wednesdays in 1979 when it hit the theaters. It still remains my favorite all-time comedy. I always loved this song and am among those who never got to hear the entire song. Thank you for posting it. Meatballs is now available on DVD with the CORRECT soundtrack. The first release on DVD did not have the rights to the songs. Get it and it will be passed from generation to generation I am sure.
Meatballs, I know what you are saying. I was a kid and the movie reminds me of back then, especially the song. I was lucky to find the Meatballs movie. I'd love to visit the camp.
He was diagnosed with MS, (Multiple Sclerosis). He passed away one year after he was diagnosed. On June 28, Saturday,2009, in Kamloops B.C., (British Columbia), Canada. He was 62, and He Was
I saw the movie when it came out and I thought is was very funny, however the only part I really remember was the scene when this song was playing. I love this song.
Same here, the song is great. A part I always liked was when the kid was asking the CIT about his frog and the CIT said, the frog was asleep so that the kid's feelings weren't hurt and the other kids went along with this. I was 14 when the movie came out and it makes you feel like a kid. When a movie can do this, you know it's great.
Thank you so much for posting it. The kissing scene when the song is played gave me so much substance to dream for. I saw the movie in 1984 when I was 13. You can imagine how it hit me with this romantic sound. Greetings from oversea, Alexander
This mp3 is of the reprise of "Moondust" (Moondust Melody) by Terry Black, but it sounds a bit differnet from the version used in the movie "Meatballs". For on thing, the song used in the movie says "...Let's say it was the moonlight". Terry's voice is also a bit deeper than this version.
I downloaded a LP to MP3 version off of Limewire, you can hear the crackle of the record player...nostalgic. :)
I wonder how different the first "Moondust" song sounds off the soundtrack LP.
My sister and I have been looking for this song forever! Meatballs was our favorite movie growing up so this song is extremely nostalgic for us. Thanks for putting it on here..we can finally stop looking!
Tripper and Roxanne forever
