@hingehead,
We're Having A Party...Sam Cooke
"Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I wanna go to bed..."
Grandpa used to sing that. Rather loudly, I'm afraid.
Waiting to see how long it takes for someone to point out it's "nights out."
Dammit!
@DrewDad,
Actually I thought about and decided to go with night outs.
I don't want an 'attorneys general' or 'culs de sac' conversation in a music tag. So put down your gun and walk away!
@DrewDad,
Neverending song titles doesn't appear to be....
Party to end all parties - Skyhooks
Can't find it on youtube so you'll have to read the lyrics
There was a rumour on the grapevine
The word had got around
There was a party goin' on
On the wild side of town
I said to Jody "do you wanna go?"
Now Jody likes to party
And I knew she wouldn't say no
Well we got the right street
But we got the wrong number
Then like a shot in the dark
We heard that thunder
Of the party to end all parties
Wildest one in the book
Party to end all parties
Step inside and take a look
Motor Bikin' Bobby said to Sleazy Sue
I know exactly what we are gonna do
We're goin' upstairs gonna lock the bedroom door
We're gonna party till we can't party anymore
At the party to end all parties
Turn of the century
Party to end all parties
A riot in the first degree
Party to end all parties
Party on the wild side of town
Party to end all parties
We ain't ever gonna live this down
Two guys in the bathroom
They've been there for an hour
Somebody said that they were takin' a shower
Jimmy couldn't wait so he kicked down the door
Found his girlfriend and the two guys
Havin' a party on the floor
At the party to end all parties
Wildest one in the book
Party to end all parties
Step inside and take a look .. at the party
Party to end all parties
Party on the wild side of town
Party to end all parties
We ain't ever gonna live this down
@hingehead,
All my big nights out end up in a version of this...
