Lately I've been running that song from Snoop's latest album. I think the song is called SD is out. It's got a nice laid back vibe to it. If not last call, then at least last song.

whatever wack song that was requested the most.....but only 20 seconds of it.

i go for, flex-mad cobra, or bittersweet dirt off your shoulder, or keep on lovin' or a good air supply song.

What do you mean by "last call"?
(I'm from Argentina).

Last call means last chance to buy alcohol before the bar closes. I was talking to somebody about this the other day after running the Semisonic (cliche as it is, no one wanted to leave so I needed to give them a hint), songs with the theme "last call" or "closing time" in them. After this conversation I realized outside of maybe some old Irish tunes (and I'm sure there are a billion country renditions of get the fuck out tracks) that there aren't many within the typical "club" type genres. But they obviously exist so I wanted to see what some of your favs were, whether they do fit within standard club music category, or if you just reach for other selections.


(So yeah guys, not last song material lord knows there's enough of that..but end of the night theme)

NWA Automobile

Never thought about a actual song for Last Call but there is a Ghetto Tech Song by the late Disco D called "Need Another Drink" that is actually perfectly for last call but the song is so hype people will want to party instead of going home....

Willie Williams - Armagideon Time

'A lotta people won't get no supper tonight, a lotta people going to suffer tonight'

That conscious note at the end of the night.

friends in low places - garth brooks

the bar i spin at is called oasis so the crowd goes nuts when the chorus its the oasis part

My fave song to send them packing, is Love and Happiness - Al Green, gives you that "nice-all-over" feeling when u walk out (no misquote)

"don't stop believing"- journey

Garth brooks? Horrible, ugh. I would get shot if I played garth brooks... You must be spinnin at some honky tonk joint.

Sometimes I end it with 504 Boyz - I can tell you wanna fuck.

Art of Noize - Moments In Love (15:00 version)

or I play one of these (i'm in DC):

www.mpp.org

There's a song called "Last Call" by bangloose. It's not great, but it's not bad.

i wouldnt say honky tonk but it is maine so there are some rednecks around, lol

Thats amazing, im so throwin that down somewhere on a roots reggae mix. Nice one

Taxi by ZZ Hill for my over 30 last song.

It's not Unusual by Tom Jones or Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond!

2 Live Crew - Get the Fuck Out!

This got me to thinking and I think I want to adopt a new Last Call song for my ghetto ass bar.

There's this old Miami Bass song that goes..."Give me a bottle and a muthafukin cup, so me and the boys can get what???""FUCKED UP" and then it proceeds to go into a call and response routine of "What you wanna do? "Get Fucked Up!" It sounds kinda like Luke, but I'm not sure.

Anybody know what song I'm talking about?

Busta Rhymes - "Get Out"

as young herrera said, "I can tell" gets em every time!

i just loop simon says "GET THE FUCK OUT, simon says GET THE FUCK OUT"

^^ Ps I know he says up....

the end of ferris bueller after the credits roll

"You're still here? It's over.....go home"

Clay D - "Give Me A Bottle"

drive - the cars?

also feeling that Jesus is on the board now...

Damn, haven't heard that jam in a long minute.....come to think of it Poison Clan neither...gonna have to dig some out!

Yep, another thread (Boat Hoes, Video) took me off on a Luke/2 Live Crew tangent earlier tonight. Couldn't find the video I was looking for on Youtube but it was a fun trip peepin the old Luke videos.

Thanks for the info bourbonstmc.

I know dat's right! I'm trying to make these people wanna go home and get thug nasty nasty thug on each other and maybe help myself out too, ya dig?

anything wrong with "Lets Get It On"?

DMX - Party Up

Semisonic - "Closing Time" (I think it gets the message across just fine.)

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (Because you can't eff with this song.)

Boyz II Men - "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday (See above.)

Notorious B.I.G. feat. 112 - #!*@ You Tonight
(Just to get rid of any remaining ambiguity as to why you took her out in the first place.)

Ha, Shamann even mentioned the Semisonic song before I did. Beat me to it!

So I think we can all agree that Semisonic for last call is completely unoriginal right? Enjoy your $300 gigs

back in the 90's lots of dj's would end it with akinelye - put it in your mouth.

sometimes i close it off with mos def - travelling man.

Sending the crowd home:
"Too late for goodbye" by Julian Lennon
"The end" by The Doors
"So tired" by The Beatles
"Goodbye to love" by The Carpenters
"Go to sleep" by Radiohead
"Go to sleep" by Eminem
"Good night" by The Beatles
"Bye bye" by Mariah Carey
"Goodbye" by Jagged Edge
"Goodbye" by Alicia Keys

and....

"Get the fuck out" by Skidrow

Leonard Cohen - Closing Time > Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight > Weather With You - Crowded House.

Don't bite, this shit's patented.

akneilye - put in your mouth LOL

Take your drunken a** home by Big Al Carson (blues).

Good ole baby blue eyes Frank - I did it my way

Eddie Money- Take Me Home Tonight

Bone, Thug- Crossroads..

Bone Crusher - Never Scared

OK, Since you guys are naming last song of the NIGHT (last call in my hood is usually 15 -30 minutes before close so you can get one more drink and get the fuck out), here are my "Hood" picks:

I Can Tell - 504 Boyz: Watchwww.youtube.com

Cause I loved U - Lenny Williams: Watchwww.youtube.com

Honorable Mention:
T Shirt & Panties: Watchwww.youtube.com

Local favorite:
Soulful Moaning - Dale: Watchwww.youtube.com

+1 for lenny Williams

Rihanna - Take A Bow is a good ending song, maybe not last call

Take a bow? That's a terrible song to end with. You trying to get the girls to hate all the guys? NG dawg.

The Dogs - Your Mama's On Crack Rock. Watchwww.youtube.com

Donna Summer Last Dance
Watchwww.youtube.com

Michael Bublé - Save The Last Dance For Me
Watchwww.youtube.com

Zapp & Roger - I Wanna Be Your Man

Jodeci - Feenin' (I actually hate that song but everyone knows the words somehow)

Anytime, Any place - Janet Jackson

Last Call- Alkaholiks lol

you bitter crossroads is my last call joint. i also like to use po pimp!

My bad man, I forgot you have exclusive rights to this joint.. LOL..

Seriously bro, I remember we had this talk and you saying Po Pimp, not Crossroads though..

Outkast-Spottieottiedopaliscious

Posting that song reminded me of the vinyl and I just copped it on ebay for $22 shipped.

I know it's corny. But I use to dj at this bare that had hot ass chicks behind the bar. The owner didn't hire guys or ugly chicks. So I would play "Bartender" by T-Pain and give them a special shout out. Never got any ass, just hugs. Ugh!!! ;-)

Rehab-Sittin at a bar...Gonna use this track next week, me thinks.

Why has this song been re-released? Is it in a movie or commercial or something?

It's a way bigger hit now than when it first came out.

The new track by New Kids On The Block feat. Ne-Yo - Single

This has officially replaced Usher - Luv In This Club

i hate that usher song it sucks

as soon as the lights flip on i drop f*ck you by cee lo green

I always play the Cheers theme song at a bar. "Where everybody knows your name..."

haha. I actually did this when the Police raided a wharehouse I spun at. Everyone screamed Get The Fuck Out! when the beat dropped. I got arrested for some bogus charge, inciting a riot or some BS. I got to the station and when I took my jacket off I had that Pharoahe Monch-Simon Says t-shirt that Rawkus sold. The officer who arrested me pointed out that I had the same t-shirt on too. I had to correct him when he said the words said "get the fuck out"...true story :-)

Tyrone Davis - Hole in the Wall

My club never has last call, because it never closes. True story.

you just wait, some day............lol

kinda the same thing here, mine closes when the last person decides to stop spending monies

I like endin my nights with songs people might not hear everyday but they know the lyrics.
Ray Charles - Hit the Road Jack
The Jeffersons Theme song

For a grown up crowd, Goodbye love

put in in your mouth!

Afroman - Because I Got High

2 Live Crew - Get the Fuck Out (My House)

Blue Shadows on the Trail -from three amigos, it makes sense since we are in Arizona... only about 3% of people get it and the rest just stare... but those 3% appreciate it...

R kelly - Pregnant has been going really well at my spot for last song

Afroman - She won't let me fuck.

at this spot i was resident at, i would close with a rnb slowjam

rkelly-feelin on ur booty+ bump n grind
trey songz-panty dropper + neighbors know my name
chris brown-take you down
jeremih-i like
ciara-ride
usher-can u handle it + thats what its make for
lil wayne-im single

just to send the msg. that whatever u workin on takin home now is it time to go in forreal

queen - bohemian rhapsody

there's last call songs and there's "get the fuck out cause we're closing" songs for the former i just keep rocking it till the manager tells me to stop. for the latter, i've been playin fugues - killing me softly or camille yarbourough - Take Yo Praise

+1 and it calms the drunks down

youtu.be

In australia, popular last songs include

Wonderwall - Oasis

Livin on a Prayer = Bon Jovi

Mr Brightside - The Killers

Grease Megamix

I want you back - Jackson 5

I like to play:
Harry Belefonte - The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)
If time is short I can play just the last 30 seconds from the Accapella.
It keeps the people happy while leaving, you can hear them singing "DAAAY-OOOOO" all the way out in the parking lot.
And of course, the "Daylight comes and we want to go home" part is always relevent!

Dont steal my shit lol. I play these mainly.
Dueces...........Chris brown
Gotta Go.........Trey Songz
Its Time Go......Too Short (this song is perfect trust me listen to it)
And then my custom mix if there still there. I took the end of ferris buller day off when he goes.

Your still here, its over, go home, go
And yes its also so my video mix I play at the end of my video sets. That I chopped it up. You should see there reaction when I play that. They like dammmmmmmmmmmmm thats dope.

too short.
Its time to go.

new song- hands down i end the top 40 night with "the closing song" by red peters

Peters red- Closing Time..It's funny and slow and gets the point across!!

GET THE FUCK OUT

Best closing songs that actually WORK!

2 Live Crew - We Want Some Pussy
Rehab - Sittin at a bar (redneck bars only)
Victor Menegaux - Closing Tipsy (Mashup)
R-Cue - Foolish Tipsy Heart (Steve Perry)
Usher - Nice N Slow
R. Kelly - Bump N Grind (remix) not that corny one from the movie...
Ginuwine - Pony

#1 all time

Toby Keith - I Love This Bar (Bars Only)

+1 red peters - the closing song... sometimes sinatra my way, sometimes cheers (with drums edit)

absolutely not. I'd prob get a bottle thrown at me. Sinatra? If it's an oldies bar then I guess...

been dropping this one for a minute: Watchwww.youtube.com

toby keith? red peters? sinatra? Where are you a honky tonk?

Actually a good last song for me that's been working really well is Kelly Rowland & Lil Wayne's motivation. It's very popular with the ladies and it's the perfect jam to slow things down. It ALWAYS works! get em

pony? i disagree...

i still rock pony (nm) i mix it with ciaras ride

Still works great as a last song.

+1

This, Watchwww.youtube.com

best night of my life jamie foxx and wiz works (at least where i play)

Looking thru this who thread and no one uses Exit By R. Kelly

Fixed

i like that Novacane - Frank Ocean... havent played it yet tho

I'm from NY so I play Theme from New York, New York by Frank Sinatra, which by the way is what Yankee Stadium plays only when they win, the Sinatra version. They play another version when the lose. I think its the Liza Minnelli version. Anyway, since all my gigs are winners, i don't play the Liza version, as a matter a fact I don't even have it.

When Empire State of mind came out I remixed the end of New York New York with Empire State of Mind. When Frank sings the last New York, Alicia come in with the hook, I'd be happy to share with any NY DJs, just PM me with your email address.

seriously?? that track always works! it's all about the ladies by closing time and trust they want to hear that song. It was produced by Timbaland. I mainly drop it cause it's a track that's hardly EVER played and when they hear it they'll like ohhh shit..i remember this jam.

billy joel -

longest time
piano man
on and and with billy for 30+ crowds

Frank Sinatra - New York, New York. The original, no remix, no fancy stuff.

Regardless of the genre of the night, it ALWAYS finishes the night on a high.

Agreed, It's worked at any place I've ever done, the hoodest of hood bars to the spend my paycheck on cover clubs.


But I usually stick to Simple Minds - Dont You Forget About Me

Surprised this wasn't mentioned Watchwww.youtube.com

Was my go to about 4 years ago.

Take me home tonight - Eddie money

hahhah i played the gambler by kenny rogers for years and other djs would tell me people would get mad when they did not do it. The other djs would answer YOU ARE AT THE WRONG CLUB DUMB ASSS!! HAHAHAHAH p.s we where a hip hop club:)

that's a bit wack.

i feel like pony heats the crowd up.

Big Sean + Chris Brown - My Last

+1 lol

Had my last night at the casino on Friday after being there every weekend for a year. The band I was playing with is moving to Vegas and I negotiated with the casino to stay on, but they went with undercutters in the end. :( Despite the fact that I have been killing it doing video week in and week out, and against the recommendations of the sound crew, who all lobbied to keep me on.

For the very last song on Friday, I played Boyz II Men "End of the Road" after getting on the mic and saying goodbye to the crowd... there were literally people crying. It was quite a moment!

I don't know if I read this here, but Daddy Yankee's La Despedida. At the end he says "Goodbye!"

La Despedida means The Departure or The Goodbye

The closing song that I play and is really funny is called The Closing Song by Red Peters

Watchwww.youtube.com

504 Boyz - I Can Tell

isley bros - between the sheets

Dope choice!

+1 blunt on this .........



a few others - All depends where I am
- Dan Band - Total Eclipse of the Heart
- Bob Marley - No Woman No Cry
- Oasis - Champagne Supernova

As a lights are already up, get out song, I like to play The Banana Boat Song - Harry Belafonte. Keeps people happy singing "Day-O" throughout the parking lot. Also have the option of just playing the last 30 seconds if time is short.

Ya know, this thread is so damn old, I think I posted this exact same comment before....
Nothing to see here, move along...

Played this last week at my Thursday spot as the last song lol

Red Peters - The Closing Song

------> Watchwww.youtube.com

Wow No one uses It's time to Go by Too Short man it's a classic closing song you guys gotta hear it it's the biznezz...

Great thread, I usually end my nights with some classic house, Brighter Days, I Get Lifted, I want them asses dancing out the door! Sometimes I go for the classic joints like Lenny Williams, Isley Brothers Between The Sheets, I drop something that will be memorable to my crowd, that Moments in Love is butter too!

Oh yeah, another good one that I drop is Coffee Brown After The Party, real nice vibe!

I've Had the Time of My LIfe- Bill Medley

people usually give you that "what is this" face then when the beat kicks in, everyone turns into Patrick Swayze

LOL!!!

Seriously Bro...

Watchwww.youtube.com
Jazzy Jeff - Rock With U

When a bar is full of 30+.. why not?

It's not like I drop that in the club at the end of the night, In the club setting I have a whole crate of last calls depending on the crowd, the most popular seems to be a house remix of don't stop believing, drunk people love to sing along..

Watchwww.youtube.com

My song to end with when I am not playing in the Chi!

ive used this as last song of the night so ppl could make way to the exit. no joking and it was funny because it was out of place.
Watchwww.youtube.com

Sublime - Santeria

Time to say good night, sleep tight so I prefer that bedroom flavor r&b:

Little Feat - On your way down Watchwww.youtube.com

Jade - Looking for Mr. Do Right Watchwww.youtube.com

Faith Evans - Love don't live here anymore Watchwww.youtube.com

...

I've used that one a few times too.

lmfao this happpened to me at a wedding this past saturday, ppl doing the whole jump in the air/ catch me bit ... pretty entertaining

A wedding was where it started for me.

And then I used it at the end of the night at a bar I DJ at weekly. Everyone sings along, and usually you can hear them in the parking lot later yelling it and trying to jump and catch each other. Very entertaining

i go straight 90s make out time. (in open format rooms)

although, this always KIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLS FOR ME
Watchwww.youtube.com

But, SILK, JODECI, TAKE6, SWV all that stuff is like gold.
I play all night for the girls; so 1 closeout for the fellas

sometimes Ill do Stand by Me or Lean on me too

Ive also done The Rainbow Connection from the Muppets too
(30+ rooms)

dont judge me.

I try to finish off the night with a slow song, usually something retro - Jodeci, Marvin Gaye, Al B Sure, etc... After that I like to play The Banana boat Song (Day-O) while bringing the lights up. If time is short, I will just play the last 30 seconds - from the Acapella break. It keeps people happy & limits fighting, usually they'll be singing it out in the parking lot. Always try to make them leave happy!

Shit ive dropped emotions remix of the theme song before, so i cant even judge

I too use Red Peters - Closing Song.

Surprised no one in all this time mentioned "Bye Bye Bye" NSync.

Drake of course has "end of the night" status at more mainstream places for at least the next few months...

Wasn't That A Party - The Rovers

Watchwww.youtube.com Sign off song of the great Frankie Crocker

This is what I play as my closing song
youtu.be

HIT THE ROAD JACK,TAKE ME HOME TONIGHT,BYE BYE BYE/NSYNC ARE A FEW GOOD ONES

I know this is an old thread but surprised nobody posted these:
Crowd tested! Not technically last call songs but they let people know the bar is shutting.


"drake Feat Majid Jordan - Hold On We're Going Home" (proceeded by "Lose yourself to dance by Daft Punk") I loop the "hold on going home part" sometimes if people are not getting the clue, lost count of the amount of people hooking up to it when played as last song.

"Jason Derulo - Don't wanna go home" i loop it on the "day yo... don't wanna go home part and slow it down on wide tempo range, then transition into banana boat song - it uses the sample from it/ references it in the lyrics

"Boney M - Gotta go home" - looped on the obvious part

youtu.be

You need the live/dirty version though 😈

Thanks for sharing!
