Fill the Clock With Music

(Randy Bachman must have had a thing about 8:15. I just remembered that’s the train he took into the city while takin’ care of business with BTO.)

Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight and the Pips

(Midnight is also mentioned in “Come Dancing” by the Kinks.)

6:00 am Manic Monday (the Bangles)

Six O'clock by the Mamas & The Papas...

-s.

I’m giving this one its own post:

Close to Midnight (Thriller, the King of Pop)

12:00-12:59 (Wilson Pickett, In the Midnight Hour)

10:00 (Cheap Trick, Clock Strikes Ten)

3:35 or 3:34 am  (Chicago, 25 or 6 to 4) 

3:00 pm Chuck Berry School Days

4:00 am Bobby Lewis Tossin' and Turnin'

4:00 am also Everly Brothers Wake Up Little Susie

yes i guess i'm old, but the songs still rock

Lots for midnight. Joni Mitchell Raised on Robbery is another one

"I'm up after midnight cookin', tryna make my rent"

she also has at least a couple that are generic "morning" but no specific time mentioned (Morning Morgantown and Chelsea Morning).

Oh I thought of another one. "I stopped by the bar at 3am, seeking solace from a bottle or possibly a friend" closer to fine, one of my favorite songs, the indigo girls

There is another midnight train, but this one with with "destination Bangor, Maine" (King of the Road)

Gordon Ligjtfoot, The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald... "at 7 pm the main hatchway caved in "

George thorogood .. "came in last night about half past ten that baby of mine wouldn't let me in" ( move it on over)

He’s lying. He was still at the bar at 3:00 (One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer).

Aha!  Working 9 to 5 - Dolly Parton, 1980

Midnight at the Oasis - Maria Muldaur

(I used to work as a radio announcer doing the overnights shift.  I've just realised that one of the occasional comments I used in my back-announces for that song was a double-entendre, and could have been questionable.  But, then again, the expression I used in those days may not have had the common usage it does now.)

More 4 a.m. Tom Verlaine, At 4 a.m. (great Stones-like song, sorta has a Tumbling Dice vibe)

6 (a.m. or p.m.?).  Marshall Crenshaw cover of  early 60s hit "What Time Is It?", 

Generic time reference "Good Morning America, how are you?" - City of New Orleans

1 through 12:  Rock Around the Clock

9:  Beatles, She's Leaving Home

9:  Catapult (REM)

My last of the morning:

8 pm, 1 and 6 a.m.:  Margaret, the Silos (a lovely father to young daughter song).

6 in the morning, gave me no warning -- Tom Waits "Ol '55"

5 a.m., oil pressure's sinkin' fast -- Springsteen "Open All Night"

It's 3am don't you people ever want to go to bed -- Stones "Get Off My Cloud"

Is there a song, I wondered, matching the random time of my original post? There is.

Tonight I’m going to see Freedy Johnston perform his Can You Fly album with some of his original accompanyists. As a Silos fan, I’m sad to say Bob Rupe, who played on that album, is not on the guest list.

I thought of another Beatles song. When I'm 64:

If I stayed out til quarter to three would you lock the door?

Have liked Freedy for a long time.  Did not know about this show.  You can measure the shocking passage of time by things like albums.  Can You Fly is more than 30 years old.

Not if I’m Sinatra, I bet.

noon on a Tuesday -- Sheryl Crow, "All I Wanna Do"

it's four o'clock it's go to stop -- Pearl Jam "Better Man"

which reminded me of one of my favorite song lines, which mentions a clock, but not an o'clock:

"I fumble for the clock, alarmed by the seduction. I wish that it would stop"

- Squeeze, "Tempted"

Now I'm going to be walking around singing Tempted by the fruit of another....
