Moonlight Desires
"Moonlight Desires" is a song by Scottish-born Canadian artist Lawrence Gowan. Released in March 1987 as the lead single from his third studio album, Great Dirty World, it reached number ten in Canada. Yes's Jon Anderson, walking by the studio, hears the song being played, enters and asks if he can add a melody, and making it up on the spot, turns "Moonlight Desires" into a cult classic. This single also had a b-side called "Jet White," which was recorded in 1982.

gollark: Not inherently. It is entirely possible to write horribly coupled OOP, especially since it encourages apious mutable state and inheritance.
