"Moon Over Homewood" is a novelty song written in 1982 by WYDE-AM disc jockey Jack Voorhies, and performed by him as Chick Churn & the Chillydippers.
Voorhies and his on-air partner, Steve Christie, had been discussing the plight of Homewood residents, forced to look up at the bare buttocks of the Vulcan statue on Red Mountain. They wished he could be mounted on a lazy Susan to share the ignominy.
The song's chorus is:
"Moon over Homewood; It's so unrefined
We have to get mooned with the Vulcan's behind
Moon over Homewood; We don't think it's fair
That we have to look at his big derriere"
Voorhies also wrote a follow-up, "Funds for Buns" as a theme song for a fictional "Homewood Ladies League For Decency" campaign to provide Vulcan with more modest clothing. This song was included as the B-side of the "Moon Over Homewood" 45 single with the artist credited as "Thelma Hotchkiss and The H.L.D. Chorus".
