Songs about big night outs

Southside Johnny -- We're Havin' a Party

or, afterwards,

I don't wanna go home

Anybody remember this one?



I know, you know this ain't gonna last forever
Let's take advantage while we still can
I'm sure that you'll find the days couldn't get any longer
Day after day it's gettin' old fast

Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets
Get all the boys together have them tell everybody that they meet
Friday night at midnight we're all gonna get what we need
Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets

You know, I know we ain't gonna show no mercy
To anyone that tries to get in our way
I'm sure that you'll find we got to put the word out for certain
Once the party gets started we're all here to stay

Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets
Get all the boys together have them tell everybody that they meet
Friday night at midnight we're all gonna get what we need
Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets

Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets
Get all the boys together have them tell everybody that they meet
Friday night at midnight we're all gonna get what we need
Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets

Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets
Get all the boys together have them tell everybody that they meet
Friday night at midnight we're all gonna get what we need
Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets

DJ, the breadth of your musical universe continues to impress me.

i first discovered WPA about 20 years ago and still have some very fragile cassette recordings, i checked my cd collection and was pleased to discover that knock backs was on my copy of "they were better live", i'll have to see if i can whip up a youtube vid for it

my little video


Weddings Parties Anything - Knockbacks in Halifax

"Shake and Fingerpop"

Put on your wig, woman
We goin' out to shake an fingerpop
Hey, baby!
I said, put on your wig, woman
We goin' out to shake an fingerpop
(Hey, girl!)
We gonna get out on the floor, now
Dance like we never dance befo'

'Right on!'

I said, look at them people
Tryin' the big, Fly
Doin' The Barracuda
The Jerk and The Twine

Kick off your shoes, baby
An get in the groove
'Cause when you hear the music
Yo' feet has got to move

I said, put on your wig, woman
Goin' out an shake an fingerpop
(That's what I'll do')
Gonna get out on the floor, now
Dance like we never danced, befo'
(Dance, woman!)

I said, do The Boomerang
The Twine and The Jerk
They're jammin' at the bandstand
So, ev'rybody work

I said, put on your wig, woman
We goin' out to shake an fingerpop
(Stay, is what I'll do)

Gonna get out on the floor, now
Dance like we never danced, befo'

(Shake, girl!)
