About Fishin in the Dark 'Fishin in the Dark' is a song written by Wendy Waldman and Jim Photoglo and recorded by American country music group The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Interestingly enough, the songwriters make no mention of the song also being about sex. Jim Photoglo on the origins of “Fishin’ in the Dark”. We weren’t trying to be like any other song. He was hesitant at first, but he relented, and the beloved “Fishin’ in the Dark” was born.Īnd the first thing I thought was, “I want to run away screaming, because I love my song.” But she said, “No, fishing in the dark.” We started messing around with it, and it just happened, you know? We did it for fun. Fishin In The Dark (45 Version) Lazy yellow moon comin up tonite, shinin thru the trees, Crickets are singin and lightning bugs are floatin on the. Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight Shinin' through the trees Crickets are singin' and lightning bugs Are floatin' on the breeze Baby get ready Across the field where the creek turns back By the old stump road I'm gonna take you to a special place That nobody knows Baby get ready, ooh You and me going fishing in the dark Lying on our backs and counting the stars Where the cool grass grows Down by the river in the full moon light We'll be fallin' in love in the middle of the night Just movin.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Hold On cover art.Īccording to a 2015 interview that songwriter Jim Photoglo did with the Tennessean, the song came out of a melody that Jim had been working with in the mid 80s, inspired by a few visits to Nashville earlier that decade. That doesn’t matter, though, because all you need is that special person by your side and it’s a good night, even if the fish aren’t biting. So, they are indeed fishing, but they aren’t exactly paying attention to the fish. In this case, we would imagine the two fishing poles stuck in the dirt while the lovers lie on their backs, perhaps on a blanket but likely just in the grass, making love. It feels so good to be with you Chorus to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s “Fishin’ in the Dark”. You and me going fishing in the dark, Lying on our backs and counting the stars.

Lyin’ on our backs and countin’ the stars While on the surface, the song is clearly about fishing, the chorus could just as easily describe a sexual encounter under the light of the summer stars: So “baby get ready,” because we’re going “Fishin’ in the Dark.”
It sounds like the ideal summer evening, especially when you’ve got a loved one by your side. With a “lazy yellow moon coming up tonight,” a nice, cool breeze blowing over the creek, with crickets and lightning bugs abound. The song has a feel of excitement thanks to its bouncy melody, and the lyrics capitalize on this exciting feeling by telling of the perfect evening to go fishing. It has even been covered by arguably the the biggest name in country, Garth Brooks, and many more.
Written by California songwriters Wendy Waldman and Jim Photoglo, the track appeared on the band’s 1987 album Hold On and has since found its way into the hearts of both fishermen and moonlit boot-kickers everywhere. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s 1987 country hit “Fishin’ in the Dark” carries with it a double meaning that is simultaneously about fishing and a peaceful late-night encounter with a loved one.
