Songs with specific times of day in the title

[Mr. Blue Sky]

Songs like "Good Morning, Good Morning" by the Beatles or "Tuesday Afternoon" by the Moody Blues wouldn't count, for example.

Here's a start:

"11:59" - Blondie
"5:15" - The Who
about a zillion songs with "midnight"


What else?

"500 Miles", Bobby Bare; Peter, Paul & Mary


And that's just off the top of my head.

(don't hit!!)

[MovieMogul]

Oh, really?Yeah, yeah, OK they're more general times of the day, not clock-specific. What would you expect from the Moody Blues anyway? ;)

[Loopydude]

Neither of which are in the song title :rolleyes:

Oh, c'mon; it's got the time and the day. Such examples should be given special dispensation.

[Made in Macau]

Baby are you travelling on the 'One after 9:09'

[Tangent]

Yeah, yeah, OK they're more general times of the day, not clock-specific. What would you expect from the Moody Blues anyway? ;)

Pssst! ArchiveGuy, go back and read the OP again. The Moody Blues are specifically mentioned. :)

[Padmaraga]

Baby are you travelling on the 'One after 9:09'

I must point out that the correct lyric is "my baby says she's travelling on the "One after 909" (actual title, with the fact that 909 refers to 9:09 being implied only).

How about the Who's "5:15", from the Quadrophenia album?

[Padmaraga]

Oops, forgot that was in the OP, even though I did read it.

[gum]

Has "Three O'Clock Blues" by B. B. King been mentioned?

Originally posted by Mr. Blue Sky
"What time is it?"

"It's a quarter past 'wee'". hehehe, but it did answer the OP. :)

[Zelski]

Twilight Zone by Golden Earring (...It's 2:00 AM...)
