AIBU in thinking what happened to a slow dance at the end of the evening?

[UhOhChongo]

And I say this as a wallflower from those days, but at least it was an established end of evening ritual where people would wind down and click off with each other, not be dispatched at closing time all hyped up to go off roaring drunk into the night.

Our local club used to refer to it as "the erection section" - ewwww! yabu

Oh I remember that! The dj at our local replaced it with something silly but uplifting back in 1990 something, usually The Monkees, Heigh Ho Silver Lining.

My dad said they always used to play the Monty Python March to shift people out at the end of the match at Stamford Bridge. Exactly the same principle.

I remember the last record of the night was always Dean Parrish singing "Im on my way"
Oh memories.....

Yanbu.
I miss this part of a night out. And am at someone else saying click off

Haha, Bellabelly yes I remember hearing that term used, but thinking back it was probably a pressure release gauge that could still be useful nowadays?

Just to add Geek is a wee bitty drunk just in from a boozy night oot with now slow snoggy song.

Ahh yes the erection section.

I remember somewhere I used to go where they'd play Je t'aime at the end of the evening...hardly subtle.

Never worked for me.

The cringe feeling if no one asked you to dance, the cringe feeling if someone you didn't fancy asked and you felt obliged to dance with them anyway, the hiding out in the Ladies, the poor guys for asking and getting refused... Maybe it's not such a good idea lol

I go to rock/metal clubs and finishing with Bohemian Rhapsody always goes down well.

It's rather 1950's isn't it, the Slow Dance at the end of the evening? Totally agree UhOhChongo about some aspects being mega cringeworthy.

I remember when the ubiquitous slow dance at the end was Careless Whisper .

They didnt do this in my clubbing days, but finished off with a couple of daft tunes like the A-team theme or the song from the littlest hobo.

Club I used to work at would end the night with 'Get the Fuck Outta Here' Quite a mellow song iirc, but not terribly subtle!

It died out in the 80's / 90's round here, when everyone started taking E's.

I remember the last record of the night was always Dean Parrish singing "Im on my way"

Oh such a wonderful tune.

'Long after tonight is all over' and Jimmy Radclife's 'Long after tonight is all over' and 'The Drifter' by Ray Pollard are cracking Northern Soul 'last tunes'
