Another one that I think went pretty big, at least here it's become a Dad classic (not so much for Mom or the kids, lol).

They always used to play, too...
O.K., so when I was a teenager, the gay bar in St. John's was the one that stayed open the latest. It basically filled the role of an after-hours bar before those started openly existing. So around 3:30 a.m., all of the straight people would rush the bars they were being kicked out of and flood the Zone. They'd only get an extra 45 minutes or an hour, but it was fun - and the straight guys were a riot. Half clinging for dear life to their girlfriends/whoever they planned to drag off, a quarter hunting for lesbians, and a quarter with varying levels of interest in wanting to be hit on by the guys. The bar would always end the night with a cheesy folk dance song (say the techno version of Peter Street), then a couple of drunk-straight-girl-hardness rock songs. And finally a slow song. Then the horror lights would come on and you'd see just how shit everyone looked that late/early.
Anyhow, this Punters song - more often than not - was included in that brief rock interlude. You still hear it at a lot of the pubs, not so much in the bars or dance halls.
