A lame post, yes, but makes a change from politics, segways, netball (kidding, haters!) and the like....Looking for records that mention specific times of the day in the lyrics; only one time per song. The aim is to build up as much of a 24 hour period as possible.Here's what I got so far today:3 am - Thin Lizzy 'Dancing in the Moonlight'4 am - Bill Haley 'Rock Around the Clock'6 am - Judge Dread 'Up With the Cock'8 am - The Jam 'Smithers Jones'9 am - Jan Jones 'Independent Woman'5 pm - Dolly Parton '9 to 5'5.15 pm - The Who '5.15'6.30 pm - Billy Paul 'Me and Mrs Jones'9.12 pm - Rush '2112' (ok, stretching it a bit)9.58 pm - Galliano and JTQ 'Theme from Starsky and Hutch'11 pm - Steve Lake 'Life of Reilly'11.58 pm - Iron Maiden 'Two Minutes to Midnight'11.59 pm - Blondie '11.59'12 midnight - Maria Muldaur 'Midnight at the Oasis'Utter nonsense, froth and totally weak sauce, but strut your record-dude knowledge please.

4am - we'll be rollin to my house
5am - lights go out
6am - you can hear us scream & shout
7am - she'll be callin a cab
8am - talkin about the fun she had
9am - and she just gettin home...
("five o'clock in the morning, I'm already up & gone...")
6 in the morning police at my door
Fresh Adidas squerk across the bathroom floor
Out the back window I make a escape
Don't even get a chance to grab my old school tape
The Ikettes - I'm Blue
Every night round two
my love for you comes tumblin down
the time sheet is bulding up
Understandable but annoying that no-one seems to sing about that early afternoon period.
Anyone got a good 'noon' or 'mid-day' song reference?
gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto's always been; when it's right, it's right.
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night.
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day.
And you know the night is always gonna be there any way.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
looking forward to a little afternoon delight.
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
and the thought of rubbin' you is getting so exciting.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
a little afternoon delight.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
Please be waiting for me baby when I come around.
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down.
Sky rockets in flight. Afternoon delight. Afternoon delight.
One of the better Arrested Development episodes right tharrr.
Maybe I'll put it in her brownie.
"9:19, I believe/When I wanna puff a mad L, I got the dutch hidden in my sleeve"
Or maybe he's saying "9-19" and it means something completely different to one so
And you're just getting in..."

"Now it's 5 to 12, shut up and smoke"
"One O'Clock and then it ends"
Ha ha first one that sprang to mind followed by:
It was twelve o'clock, midnight
And I wanted a snack
So I headed downstairs
Thought the fridge was packed
But when I opened the door
What did I see?
The back of the fridge staring right at me
(going by the lyrics, I'm assuming they mean 12:45 AM)
so who is the artist and what is the song title?
My rap and hip hop games are weak....
Ice T - 6'n The Mornin
Classic...
I'm very surprised no one came with this yet.
Who the fuck is this?
pagin me at 5:46 in the mornin crack a dawnin
now I'm yawnin, wipe the cold out my eye
see who's this pagin me and why..
Ice T - 6 n' the Mornin
Hmmm, sounds to me like you HATE music.
Don't sleep on this! Cop it today!
Me and Kay in a Beige Caddilac
The seats Maroon, system kickin a dope tune
Its Friday Night, tonight's a Full Moon...
GrandDaddy I.U.
Ok, so name and title please!
btw I expect that not listening to rap and hip hop makes one a pariah in some strange quarters
I just don't ride; apologies if it offends
I'm here for the jazz funk n soul knowledge; take a little, contribute a little
Thankfully SS seems to be a broad church
Good call, that's full of them. Love that record...
