What is your end of night closing song?

[Zog]

So, what is your most asked for closing song at the end of the night? New York, New York perhaps?

Zog.

[Excalibur]

Twenty years ago, maybe. Nowadays, Wonderwall, or Don't Look Back In Anger.

Depends if the happy couple have stipulated a specific last song of the night or not.

In general, it's a happy, upbeat, hands held aloft type of ditty such as Mr Brightside or DJ Otzi's version of Sweet Caroline from this end. Haven't played NYNY for absolutely YEARS.

Depends on the crowd.

NYNY is usually for older couples and crowds for me.

I was asked for New York, New York as a final song on Saturday. I followed it with a final wind down.......

[Sapphire Disco]

I'm in the mood for dancing
Reach for the stars
I'm gonna be 500 miles
New York New York
Happy Days

In that order, not always sometimes it's completely different but that's my tried and tested ending.

Wonderwall is about 20 years old innit?

I should have said "over" 20 years old.

A couple of years away from being 30 years old.

But seems to be more popular now as a "classic" than it was when it came out.

When I was a bar & club dj the company I worked for had a directive saying anyone who didn't end the night on Dean Martin's That's Amoré would get sacked on the spot. Not could - would! So we did when I'd decided to leave I played Talisman - Only You to finish the night. 5 minutes later I had my very last pay packet in my hand!

These days it just depends. Sometimes I get instructions & it's usually some mush like Never Forget or Semisonic Closing Time (oh please). If it's a wedding & I'm stumped I often just go for a reprise of the first dance.

Sometimes I think you want to go out with the high juuuust tailing off or you'll get hounded for songs by that Juan Moore bloke.

As for old blue eyes. I haven't played NYNY for aeons & nobody's asked for it.

Oasis and Abba now seem to be at least as popular now as they were in their heydays. I've said before that this game is cyclical!

Agreed entirely.
