Moontan is the ninth studio album by Dutch rock band Golden Earring, first released in August 1973 through Polydor internationally, Track Records in the United Kingdom, and MCA Records in the United States. It contains the radio hit "Radar Love". 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.
