What is your club's closing song?
Almost every night, we close with Louis Prima's "Buona Sera." I really like this song, even though I'm always so annoyed and sad when they play it at the club... just because it signifies closing time.
Do other clubs have the tradition of playing the same closing song every night? What are some ones you've heard?

Re: What is your club's closing song?
Haven't worked at a club that has one in a while. The last that did... well it depended on which DJ closed. It was either Get The Fuck Out by 2 Live Crew, or The Closing Song by Red Peters.

At the end of the night the music gets slower and slower and slower until they close. It sucks being the last few girls on stage because the music is soooo slow with no beat that you cant dance - just walk back and forth.

Used to use Van Halen's Happy Trails or Semisonic's Closing Time

Re: What is your club's closing song?
depends on how bored/angry/tired the dj is. Misfits? Manic Hispanic? NOFX?
I really like my club. ;D

Re: What is your club's closing song?
Another count for Semi Sonic's Closing time. Not very original, but I don't mind.

Re: What is your club's closing song?
i worked at a club called night shift, and the song was (i guess) called night shift.

Re: What is your club's closing song?
I play whatever I feel like playing, but it's usually slower sexy music like Thievery Corporation or Type O Negative or whatever. We shut down the stage about 15-20 minutes before actually closing as it's hard to get everyone out even though we have by far the toughest bouncers in town, so often there's a lot of people and they move slowly being drunk or whatever. We let customers stay only if they are getting private dances, everyone else goes. So no one is suffering through Frank Sinatra or whatever on stage.
I used to go to one club that played 'When I was Seventeen' by Frank Sinatra every single fucking night. I still so want to do a remake of that song with different lyrics, and possibly a hardcore punk counterpoint approach. Not to knock Frank other than his habit of beating on women maybe, but he just gets old for me every night, and some of his songs are better/less overplayed than others.
It's better I think to avoid any sort of tired same old routine in the club, even if it's about The Last Song. But sometimes I'm tired myself, so just play whatever it takes to get the fuck out of there.

Re: What is your club's closing song?
it pretty much depends on my mood and whether or not i have something to do after.
if im in no hurry,i'll play something fun an catchy that i like that the dancers would kill me for if i played it while they are onstage.
If i'm in a hurry to gtfo, i'll play something irritating and catchy to get people to leave.
the BEST and i mean BEST song for getting people to leave (that i have found) is amy grants "baby baby" although the rest of the staff is pissed when i play it. people hear it and leave IMMEDIATELY.

Re: What is your club's closing song?
2 live crew - get the fuck out
-
Re: What is your club's closing song?
There's some rock band, Offspring I think, that did a song called 'Get the Fuck Out', that one club in Daytona wanted to play a lot. But it was never an ironclad rule.
-
Re: What is your club's closing song?
They've always played "Goodbye to You," by the Veronicas as our closing song. Even 8 years ago when I worked at this club that's the song they used.
-
Re: What is your club's closing song?
One of our DJs does that "Night Shift" song a lot...
-
Re: What is your club's closing song?
Closing time or "All Night Party" by the Gleaming Spires.
-
Re: What is your club's closing song?
Something 1950's-60's like "My Girl" by The Temptations or sometimes they play "Let's get it on". Definitely not closing songs but whatev.
-
Re: What is your club's closing song?
Oh fuck I HATE that whiny, balless 'Closing Time'. That's another one that would require high calibre guns to the head to get me to play it--and then I'd beg them to shoot me so I didn't have to listen to that guy's fucking horrible whining voice. It's Greenday, isn't it? or one of their numerous clones? Are they all eunuchs, or do they check their balls at the door to the recording studio?

Re: What is your club's closing song?
^It's Semisonic. One hit wonders.
I play Concrete Blonde's "Everybody Knows" remake fairly often. Lately it's been Bob Marley's "Jammin'" which we have changed to "Pajamas" for our own amusement. Otherwise it's usually some slow song I feel like hearing or that's way too slow to play with girls onstage, or something the bouncers want to hear, or...anything really.
