Songs mentioning specific times

[platinumsage]

What can we learn about specific times from song lyrics?

04:00 - it’s starting to get light

08:15 - that's the time that it's always been

 

[killer b]

10.15 Saturday Night?

 

[Supine]

3am - Eternal

 

[isvicthere?]

"Stupid o´clock in the morning" by the Walnut Dash.

 

[May Kasahara]

It's 11.59 and I wanna stay alive...

 

[May Kasahara]

Also from the same song: it's ten to ten, time is running out.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

 

[Spandex]

It's seven in the morning - I've gotta get up

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour - That's when my love come tumbling down

 

[mojo pixy]

5.15, the angels have gone

 

[mojo pixy]

Two .. minutes .. to midnight - the hands that threaten doom

(Should have been my first answer, that was the song that in one fell swoop made me a heavy metal fan at the age of 12...)

Also,

One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock
Five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock
Nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock
We're gonna rock
at a
specific time

At six O'clock their mummies and daddies will take them off to bed because they're tired little teddy s

Do things like these count, or are they too vague?






If we are allowing those then I suppose there's probably loads of ones that mention Friday night, etc. On the other hand, this definitely qualifies:


And then I suppose there's also:

Lucky me, I'm only cryin' once a day
Once a day (once a day)
All-day long (all day long)
And once a night (once a night)
From dusk 'til dawn (dusk 'til dawn)

 

[plurker]

Are we allowing the amount of time that remains? Answer quickly please, you've 20seconds to comply

No, specific O'clocks only. Also, events like having to meet my baby oooh yeah, or whatever, aren't really of general significance to anyone else and can be ignored.

[zahir]

I can't get to sleep, what time is it? half past three.

 

[plurker]

 

[clicker]

[mojo pixy]

Which do remind me...

Livin' after Midnight, rockin' to the dawn

which also mentions

I hit the city bout 1am

and what we learn from all this is

loaded, loaded

 

[hitmouse]

I reckon this one should probably count, if we allow "songs that mention specific times in the title but not in the lyrics"?


Catfish is a Waxhatchee song that definitely mentions a specific time, though:

 

[Pickman's model]

Loads in here, midnight, 6am among them
