Corey Hart - I Wear My Sun Glasses At Night

A decent song, with an unfortunate side effect of feeding yet another 80's cliche dress code. Though, I admit it works well if you are passing in and out of well lit areas and need to be "doing something" in the unlit areas.

Cinderella - Night Songs

This song introduced a girly-named band with more hair than sense to many many spandex wearin metalheads. It still sucks.

Blue Oyster Cult - I Love the Night

A dejected and rejected lonely man wanders out into the night and finds love in the arms of a vampire. (Or is it a ghost? Can never tell with these guys.)

Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight

The metallic guitar rifts over the slow beat sets the stage for anticipation of the type I haven't felt in many years. Anticipation of someone screaming "FIRE UP CAKERS" rings in my head constantly at the moment... this type though... feels like the cold wait of a sniper on the walk out and the stalk. Ignore the cheesy storytelling in the lyrics. Just feel this, you'll enjoy it more.

The Cars - It's Not the Night

It's not the night for: foolin, crazy eyes, sweet revenge. It is the night for "tender". The lack of a sensible point to this song is made up for with cool 80's synth and guitar riffs.

You had to beat me at "Nightswimming" didn't you. "Gardening At Night" is still available, but I'm pretty sure I used that one recently.

1. The Jam, "Down In The Tube Station At Midnight." If I'm not going to Woodlands Indian Cuisine on a bi-monthly basis, then I'm going there on a weekly basis. Anyway, listening to this song back when I was seventeen and paranoid made me ghastly afraid of racists.

2. The Cure, "10:15 On A Saturday Night." Very descriptive of the life of Prime circa 1983-2008. As much as I love going out, most of the time it's just drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip...

3. The Replacements, "Nightclub Jitters." Kinda documents the boring nights of '05. Borelando Nightlife can suck my fucking lizard.

4. The Mary Jane Girls, "All Night Long." Before Rick James was known for "Rick James, bitch!!!" Where Prince had Vanity 6 and Apollonia 6 to sing gender-reversed sex jams, the Canadian had his weed girls.

5. The Public Enemy, "Night Of The Living Baseheads." A lot of people don't remember, but there was a crack epidemic in the 80's.

-- Travis Bickle

I did have some guilt taking "Nightswimming" away, but it was the first song I thought of when I decided on the topic. Stupidly, "Gardening at Night" didn't even occur to me or I probably would have used it and left you the Automatic tune.

S'all good, homes. Listen, you probably have all your trivia bases covered, but just remember that I'm a tappable source for any questions regarding Astrology and NBA. And who was that band whose picture you sent me last year? I wanted to say The Floaters, but I wasn't sure.

I think I tried to get your help identifying these guys. We never figured it out and it wound up being a lot of points.

I will definitely keep you in mind as one of our "phone a friend" resources. Email your cell number to my gmail account (if you don't mind).

We're also a little more than a week away from getting pictures. If there's anything I think you might know, I'll pass it along.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'll still be out on a cruise with Sandra Bullock and Jason Patric during that weekend, gambling my life away. But regardless...

Four-Zero-Seven
Seven-Zero-One
Six-Six-Eight-Five

1. Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers. A Saturday Night of Trivia weekend Classic.

2. Still of the Night - Whitesnake.
3. Another Rainy Night (without you) - Queensryche.

oh, yes...I wanna rock! ROCK!

4. Bring on the Night - The Police
5. Red Skies At Night - The Fixx

14 days away...ROCK! CAKER ROCK!!!

Well, I can say this with some certainty. This is the earliest that both Cinderella and Whitesnake have been namechecked in a Five for Friday. Are you boys colluding to try and convince me to have a hair metal week?

ROCK!!!

can I use White Lion? WEIUUT!

I didn't say I'd do it. For one thing, I don't think I could come up with five.

and Queensryche? I could have busted pout some GNR!

ROCK!!!

I don't think I could come up with five.

uh-huh, that's right mr. fancypants.

ROCK!!!

Patti Smith – “Because the Night” – I’m rather surprised our host didn’t come up with this one since he was presumably listening to it over the weekend.

Sonics – “Night Time is the Right Time” – Yeah, this one’s been covered by pretty much everybody, but anytime the Sonics get their hands on someone else’s material, it suddenly transforms itself into something else entirely.

Echo & the Bunnymen – “Nocturnal Me” – OK, pretty much every other song on Ocean Rain has “night” elements.

R.E.M. – “Daysleeper” – Since we’re all about pulling out the R.E.M. today, it seems. The title may be about the day, but of course being asleep at day is all balanced by being awake all night in a foggy haze. “My night is colored headache grey”

The Make-Up – “I’ve Heard About Saturday Nite” – All the elements of a great Make-Up song: psychedelic keys, Ian Svenonius wailing and screaming, girl-group shout-along backing vocals, all over top an insistently catchy and robust bass line. In Mass Mind has always been my favorite record of theirs.

damn! you beat me to the Daysleeper!

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to beat me to...

Ah, who am I kidding, I'm practically a daysleeper myself. I just got lucky.

Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets

Yesssssssssss. (that is all)

1. Violent Femmes, "Nightmares". Probably what is responsible for the little guy waking up screaming the last few nights. Although I doubt they are as bad as whatever floats around Gordon's head.

2. Bruce Cockburn, "Last NIght of the World". So great, it could be a wedding dance song. And thanks to Point Cowtown for not kiping this one.

3. Warren Zevon, "Play it All Night Long". I dunno, like a trivia contest?

4. Out of REM,eh? How about U2 covering "Night and Day"?

OK, if the flood gates are open...

5. Guns 'n Roses, "Night Train". Not only a cheap fortified i once sold, but the soundtrack to many a summer day driving to Lake Michigan for skimboarding. God, were we boring white boys.

and adding to the metal parade...

How about #6--"Dream Warriors" from Dokken? Taken, of course, from the award-winning franchise of Nightmare on Elm Street.

1. midnight show - killers

2. across the night - silverchair

3. night after night - the sounds

4. rainbows in the dark - tilly + the wall

5. the night starts here - stars

morphine- "the night"
"unknown the unlit world of old/you're the sounds i never heard before/off the map where the wild things grow/another world outside my door"

neko case- "tightly"
"if i meet you in the night/you're free to covet all you like/don't you try and stop me/i cling tightly to this life"

patsy cline- "walkin' after midnight"
um... cause it's a classic.

tom waits- "the ghosts of saturday night (after hours at napoleone's pizza house)"
he makes it sounds so classy to be so trashy.

destroyer- "this night"
i <3 dan bejar.

"he makes it sounds so classy to be so trashy."

i think that is the best one sentence summation of the appeal of tom waits i have ever read.

1. The Tokens, "In the Still of the Night." The Beach Boys did it. Dion did it. But no one could do the "shebop, dowaps" like the Tokens! At the school dance, we put both arms around our high school sweetheart's necks, and barely swayed back and forth to the music. The nuns would come by and put their hands and arms between our glued-together bodies, trying to keep us modest. Good luck with that!

2. The Stones, "Let's Spend the Night Together." Raucous, raunchy rock! "Sexual Revolution" against the separate twin beds of 1950's seen on TV shows like "Leave It To Beaver" and "Lucy and Desi."

3. The Doors, "Light My Fire" ..."Come on baby light my fire. Time to set the night on fire. Girl we couldn't get much higher." Speaks for itself.

4. The Band, "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." Who would have dreamed that a song about the American civil war would become an anthem for the anti-VietNam war movement of the sixties? "You take what you need and you leave the rest. But they never should have taken the very best." Dylan and Baez sang it at a lot of concerts. But The Band did it best.

5. Last but not least, The Beatles, "Hard Day's Night." Another one of those songs that spoke to the "make love not war" generation in rebellion against their parents who would work at any job, no matter how hateful, morally wrong, demeaning and inhumane it was. "It's been a hard day's night and I've been working like a dog. It's been a hard day's night. I should be sleeping like a log. But when I get home to you, I find the things that you do, they make me feel all right." Love-the answer for everything.
One more Beatle's song that "made us feel all right." A bedtime lullaby for the "children" of the 60's and 70's, it soothed the pain we were suffering - the darkness brought about by a never-ending war and the violent reaction to peaceful anti-war and civil rights protests. "Blackbird singing in the dead of night, take these broken wings and learn to fly. It's all right, you were only waiting for this moment to arrive." Our hearts and minds were broken and we wanted to escape to a better place. This song soothed our souls and helped us believe things could get better someday.

I really have a soft spot for "blackbird" - nice nod.
