"Can't Fight the Moonlight" is a pop song written by Diane Warren, recorded by country pop singer LeAnn Rimes and featured on the soundtrack of the film ''Coyote Ugly''. It is also featured in the film and is also credited as the theme of the film. Released as a single on August 22, 2000 by Rimes, the song peaked at number eleven on the Billboard Hot 100. Internationally, the song topped the charts in eight countries, including Australia and the United Kingdom. In the former country, "Can't Fight the Moonlight" became Australia's best-selling single of 2001. The song was featured on Rimes' ''I Need You'' (2002) compilation album and ''The Best of LeAnn Rimes'' (2004) with the Graham Stack Radio Edit of the song (known as the "Latino Mix" internationally) featured as a bonus track on the ''I Need You'' album as well as on the sequel soundtrack to the film, ''More Music from Coyote Ugly'' (2003). The remix was also featured on her ''Greatest Hits'' (2003) album as well as on the remix edition of her ''Best of'' album. A music video for the song was released in 2000 featuring clips taken from the ''Coyote Ugly'' film with Rimes performing at the "Coyote Ugly" bar. ==Background== Rimes originally auditioned for the 2000 film ''Coyote Ugly'' to sing "Can't Fight the Moonlight" at the ending with Piper Perabo but, once Rimes watched some cuts of the film, she decided to provide the singing voice for all the songs sung by Perabo〔''Coyote Ugly'' (DVD) Touchstone Pictures. 2000. "Inside the Songs" bonus feature.〕 (this would include "But I Do Love You", as well as two other tracks on the soundtrack).〔 The song featured in the film has slightly altered lyrics〔''Coyote Ugly'' Chapter 26: "Gut Check" *Note: In the film instead of "It'll steal your heart tonight" the line is "It will take you in tonight" in the first verse of the song.〕 than that featured on the soundtrack. The song is also credited as the theme for the film. Rimes' provided vocals are altered in their pitch and vocal range in comparison to Rimes' natural vocal range; and, the closing scene, wherein she and Perabo's character sing, is effectively her duetting with herself.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Can't Fight the Moonlight」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
