[@Wizastudios]

This song is used at most bars for last call.

[@elizabethwise4376]

Totally. When I was a bartending in my early and mid twenties, I'd turn the lights up and play this. Everyone would sing while they finished their drinks before heading out. A good way to end the night.

[@josenahector8369]

I am so glad someone mentioned that.

[@LibraKing3121]

I used to use it as the last song for the karaoke bar I worked at. EVERYBODY sang it at the TOP of their lungs as they walked out! Good times!!

The 90s were the best because you had every style of music blow up- punk/ska, grunge/alternative, rap/hip hop, indie... it was all so good and new and exciting :) I'm still waiting for Beastie Boys "Sabotage" :)

[@fennelson5737]

"Closing Time," was written by the singer, about him becoming a father.

[@ryansprague2132]

Yup. And literally no one in the 90s caught onto that so he had to explicitly explain it in a concert years later. He said he thought it was a clever metaphor but apparently was too clever for his own good.

[@HiKat21]

The video of him explaining it and playing is soooo great and on KZbin. Look it up

[@guypritt5632]

Wanted to say this first, but you beat me to it. Totally true story and makes the song even better...

God I hate that video!!!!! :). Only because it was not announced that IH 20 in San Antonio would be shut down. I was stuck near front and had to wait over 4 hours. Credit to REM’s people they kept bringing water and snacks to all of us who had no exit. Still hate the song ( I heard it 100 times that day) and the video lol.

I love that while watching certain songs (similar to "In The Air Tonight" and "More Than a Feeling" and "Baba O'Riley" to name a few), there are these moments when you know the instruments or a lyrical voice are going to come crashing in, and you anticipate their reaction with a smile on your face... like "Oh, they don't know what's about to happen... wait for it... wait for it ... yeah!" As others have said - sometimes feels like I'm hearing these old familiar songs for the first time myself.

The drummer is an actual college professor. He wrote a book about the odd experience of going from being a music teacher, to a college buddy asking him to join his band, to touring the world in a successful rock band, to back to normal life.

FYI, the song was actually written about the writer's premature baby finally being released from a NICU, but the lyrics fit so many other situations, especially bars, that it took off. Surgeons all over the world played it while stitching up patients, i.e. closing the surgical procedure. The drummer subsequently wrote one of the best books you'll ever read about his experience as a member of a suddenly famous band finding themselves on an international tour thanks to this one song. He talks about what he learned about how record companies really work; it's a shark-eat-shark world.
