For the Muse's Muse Collaboration Contest - a three minute summer song
upbeat positive variety literate
Artist picture
Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Story behind the song
Working long hours all summer bussing tables at a resort in the Catskills, at night we'd still find a way to cut loose and have a real summer.
Lyrics
Dance the Nights Away (All Summer Long) Ron Tintner and Joan Hajduk (c) 2010 V1: Summer in the Catskills, Nineteen eighty six Bussing tables, splitting tips, Working triple shifts Me and Jake and Bobby And those Brooklyn girls we knew Missed out on those sunny days, it's true CHORUS: But every night at nine o'clock We'd jump in Bobby's Ford "My Hometown" was everybody's song We'd crank it up to Kingston Where the clubs were on 'til dawn And we'd dance the nights away all summer long V2 Slinging eggs by seven, Serving lunch 'til three Dinner time bonanza, Kids under 10 ate free Tips and tabs and blisters, And all those moments when We didn't think we'd ever walk again -- CHORUS -- BRIDGE: Maybe we were crazy, Morning came so fast But man we had a blast CH3: Yeah, every night at nine o'clock We'd jump in Bobby's Ford Roll on into Kingston feeling strong Down along the Hudson Where the clubs were on 'til dawn We'd dance the nights away all summer long TAG: We'd crank it up to Kingston Where the clubs were on 'til dawn And we'd dance the nights away all summer long We'd dance the nights away all summer long
