Moon grew much closer to her father in the months that lead up to his death, and was there when he died. She now respects him and her mother for not changing who they were, just to try and make her happy.
Moon still gets irked when listeners think that she is singing 'Valley Girl' as herself, and not mocking the slang that the girls were caught up in at that time. It was meant to be a satire.
Moon: I wasn't born lucky enough to be born with a body that responded well to acid-washed jeans and lycra. I had to rely on my last name to get past the bodyguards, to get me the backstage passes to the innermost chambers.
Moon: 'Valley Girl', the song I made with my father in 1982, made me feel like a sad zoo specimen. Going through puberty in front of the world on shows like Solid Gold, and Merv Griffin only added to my self conciousness.
