It was a feel good song on her classic album. People that don't understand that are not worth reasoning with. You will just bring yourself down to their level and that's pretty damn low.

THIS SONG IS STUPID!!!! You KNEW this bitch was crazy, singing about some "screaming at the moon"....what a lunatic! LMAO! All that shouting, etc. The signs of mania, lunacy, and retardation were ALWAYS there. The bitch was KOO KOO for COCOA PUFFS!
@marcusrob02 If the song is so stupid, why do you continue to come to it and comment. I realize that this is a forum which inherently makes it an open disscussion, but disrespectful trollers seeking attention work my last damn nerve. You don't like the song, we get it. That no reason to disrespect anyone. That "bitch" who was "KOO KOO for COCOA PUFFS" Touched more lives than you or even she could ever imagine. What do YOU do again?
@marcusrob02 I was taught that a person is either building or destroying. Destroyers are no longer allowed on my pages. Any further disrespectful comments will be deleted. Have a nice one.
@RevolverOcelot07 I agree with you 210 percent. This song is awesome no matter what the haters say. All the haters who hate on Phyllis Hyman need to ask themselves do they and HAVE THEY EVER surpassed what Phyllis Hyman has done. If the answer is no, then it is obvious that they need to disappear back to where they came from and that is in obscurity.
R.I.P. Phyllis. You are missed terribly. 1949-1995. Gone but never forgotten.
@marcusrob02 You complete buffoon. You are really showing yourself up. You need to show respect for the dead. I think i speak on behalf of everyone when I say: ''Piss off''.

I can't help but to laugh..really..."screaming at the moon"...yeah, she was VERY depressed and looney to be in such a mindset to "scream at the moon" lol. She made great music but was obviously RETARDED AS HELL, mentally. She had some major issues in the 80s. lol. Even her shrieks in her songs scare the hell outta me lol
@marcusrob02: i took ur comment as very disrespectful...phyllis obviously went thru alot in her life but to call "retarded as h**l" and "looney" is not cool...if u had her exact same struggles, wud u want sumbody 2 call u those things?
you big dummy! Did you even listen to the words of the song? I guess the only thing you can hear is Screaming At The Moon, this song is no different than Micheal Jackson's Thriller! Phyllis Hyman is speaking of a relationship that has gone array and she is so angry. Metaphor!!!! Really who is LOONEY or RETARDED AS HELL, mentally. Have you ever gotten that angry that you could yell that loud? Sorry for calling you a dummy but listen to the lyric's of the song don't judge!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is better than Don't Want to Change the World but I still don't understand why record companies kept wanting to turn her into a dance music diva, I read that she enjoyed jazz and ballads more not that she wasn't more than capable of doing whatever type of music was thrown at her.
i love this song... i have the lp... i am gettin all in one stereo with album player...i love this girl... she need some sense knocked into her for doin that.. life is better than being dead.. now many people have tears to shed over phyllis.. silly girl.. i still love u... so many dead ones...
@Gapandgold . She didn't just selfishly kill herself. Life dealt her the lowest of blows from the start. She suffered severe bipolar disorder (extreme manic depression). Her diagnosis bordered schizophrenia. On stage she was a sophisticated lady of soul and jazz extraordinaire. Off stage AT TIMES she could be a short-fused, violent, jealous, mood-swinging, FAT, over-eating, drunken, cocaine-addicted MONSTER-B#TCH. Did I miss anything? Read "Strength Of A Woman (The Phyllis Hyman Story).".
@Gapandgold... Her depression was exacerbated by the Music Industry that just had a most horrible time of labeling her and/or her music. Much of the music she recorded she did so, or else. Her album "Godess Of Love (1983)" is a favorite among her truest following, and she just HATED recording every song on it. I loved it! She loved to sing. She loved music. She hated the Music Industry, and after a while, they didn't care. She could have gone far and taken a mogul or two up with her.
Back in 1988, I got to see her perform this at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, California. She performed with Jean Carne, Ramsey Lewis, and Pieces of a Dream... Yes, all in one show. Those were the days! Real singers, real instruments, and a really, truly music-appreciative audience. She did the version of this song that included the "Aah-wooh, aah-wooh, aah-wooooooooooh" wolf calls.
@yvetteblalock .... Phyllis (on this night) was promoting her 1986 album "Living All Alone." The version she did on state was not "that" long, but it was from the 12-inch (remix, so to speak) of the song. The ending lyrics went, "Screaming at the moon, it's better than screaming at you, (enter girls on back-ups) ah-wooh, ah-wooh, ah-wooooooooooh" (and repeats to fade). I was fortunate enough to see her about 12 times within a 16 year span. I miss her so much.
That joker is not only a hater but an imbecile. Fuck you nicely @marcusrob02 :)

She's pretty, full of talent, it's unbelievable that she could harm to herself this way. She doesn't deserve it. very sad.
