Bark at the Moon" is a song by Ozzy Osbourne. It was the first single released from his 1983 album of the same name. The music video produced for the song was first. It peaked at #12 on Billboard's Album Rock Tracks.
Bark at the Moon" was co-written with guitarist Jake E. Lee and bassist/lyricist Bob Daisley 'Lee claims he was threatened with firing by Osbourne's wife and manager Sharon if he refused to sign a 1983 contract stating that he would relinquish his claims to writing and publishing.
Lyrically, the song deals with a creature of some sort who once terrorized a town, was killed, and later mysteriously returned to once again wreak havoc upon the villagers..Ozzy is the "mad scientist" who ingests a substance in his laboratory which causes him to transform into the werewolf depicted on the Bark at the Moon album cover. Thought to be insane, he is subsequently committed to a mental institution..
n the early 1980s infancy of the music video medium, the video, which was the first Osbourne had made, was highly anticipated due to his outrageous image
