"Moontan" is the ninth album by the Dutch rock band Golden Earring, released in 1973. It features the radio hit "Radar Love" and was voted the ninth-best Dutch pop album ever by readers of the music magazine Oor in 2008. In the Q & Mojo Classic Special Edition Pink Floyd & The Story of Prog Rock, the album ranked No. 32 in its list of "40 Cosmic Rock Albums." Moontan is the band's most successful album in the United States, being the only Golden Earring album to be certified Gold by the RIAA.
"Vanilla Queen" twice samples Marilyn Monroe's character in "There's No Business Like Show Business": "Well, in simple English, I'm…" from the "Lazy" performance and "What's your name, Honey?" from the "Heat Wave" performance.
