On That Note: I Can Hear Music

[cyclones500]

Welcome back, music fanatics! We had a 1-day delay again this week, sorry to keep you waiting.

For this segment, our focus is songs with reference to a specific music venue, in title or lyrics. It may be a fictional venue, as long as it’s presented in context as a music club.

In addition, we’ll accept songs with generic mention of nightclub, dance hall, stadium, music festival or similar site where music is performed (or heard), as long as the lyrical context/storyline pertains at least somewhat to music.

“On That Note” is presented each week on CF by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

• Last week’s OTN: One Piece at a Time

I’ll start with this, heard it on XM the other day and it inspired the topic.

“This ain't no Mudd Club, or CBGB, I ain’t got time for that now.”

Right to the juke joint you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot

I went down to the sacred store
Where I'd heard the music years before

Sitting in the stands of the sports arena waiting for the show to begin.

Also:
If there's a rock show at the Concertgebouw
They've got long hair at the Madison Square
You've got rock and roll at the Hollywood Bowl
We'll be there, oh yeah

“Oh, I sincerely miss those heavy metal bands I used to go see on The Landing in the summer.”

The day they knocked down the Palais,
My sister stood and cried...

"Come Dancing" is a 1982 song written by Ray Davies and performed by British rock group the Kinks on their 1983 album State of Confusion. The song was inspired by Davies' memories of his older sister, Rene, who died of a heart attack while dancing at a dance hall. The lyrics, sung from the perspective of an "East End barrow boy," are about the boy's sister going on dates at a local Palais dance hall. - Wikipedia

Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door...

[pourcyne]

They're dancing in Chicago (dancing in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New York City (dancing in the street)
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere

 

[pourcyne]

Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
The Shareef don't like it
Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah

 

[MeanDean]

Got me a date, and I won't be late
Picked her up in my '88
Shagged on down by the Union Hall
When the joint starts jumpin', I'll have a ball

 

[pourcyne]

Let me tell you 'bout a place
Somewhere up-a New York way
Where the people are so gay
Twistin' the night away
