On That Note: I Can Hear Music

[pourcyne]

A backless dress and some beat-up sneaks
My discothèque Juliet, teenage dream
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me
I knew we were bound to be together
Bound to be together

 

[MeanDean]

Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

 

[pourcyne]

It's, it's the ballroom blitz

 

[pourcyne]

Stagger Lee went to the ballroom
And he strolled across the ballroom floor.
He said "You did me wrong, Billy."
And he pulled his .44.

 

[pourcyne]

Now the ballroom's empty
Everybody I have known
Has been and gone
With the music over
Here am I
A shadow echoing on
Spin me 'round...

Nick Lowe version …
—> Majority of these are fictional, I assume.
(Monday, at sister Suzy's ball)
Tuesday, I’m at the Union Hall
Wednesday, at The Roadhouse Inn
Thursday, at The Lion's Den
Friday, at The Chatterbox




Moon Mullican original version has Tuesday as “at the old dance hall."

[pourcyne]

And everything around me
Got to start to feelin' so low
And I decided quickly
Yes, I did
To disco down and check out the show

 

[MeanDean]

Played the Fillmore and Apollo for freedom

 

[Althetuna]

Willie Nelson: Sister's Comin' Home/Down at The Corner Beer Joint

 

[pourcyne]

Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old-time rock 'n' roll

 

[cyclones500]

“Kicked out of The Palladium.”

(also, earlier in the same verse verse, Shea Stadium, we can assume it’s music reference, since there are samples of 2 songs by The Beatles in this track)

 

[cyclones500]

“Went to The Apollo.”

 

[Cupped]

Jethro Tull, Skating Away

Or that everybody's on the stage
And it seems like you're the only person
Sitting in the audience?

 

[MeanDean]

A bit of a stretch, just says "Cellar Full of Noise" The song was a tribute to the Cavern Club in Liverpool. "Cellar Full of Noise" was the title of the Brian Epstein book/autobiography.

I know a place
Where the music is fine, and the lights are always low
I know a place
Where we can go

At the door, there's a man who will greet you
Then you go downstairs to some tables and chairs
Soon, I'm sure, you'll be tapping your feet
Because the beat is the greatest there

All around there are girls and boys
It's a swinging place, a cellar full of noise
It's got an atmosphere of its own somehow

I always sell out in advance at the Martian Astrobowl …

 

[MeanDean]

“Went to The Apollo.”

I figured you'd grab this one.

 

[Althetuna]

Sheryl Crow: All I Wanna Do

This ain't no disco
It ain't no country club either

 

[pourcyne]

Its a hot night at the juke joint
And the band's pumpin' rhythm and blues
Gonna spill a little rock and roll blood tonight
Gonna make some front page news

 

[pourcyne]

Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream,
The notes were turning blue when I fell into a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town.
