Monte's streetlights people

[Keith Davis]

Loosely connected to the above... I used to play across the street from a
Sushi Bar that had a service industry night on Mondays, offering discounts
for bar/restaurant people, so I would go sometimes. Every time this song
came on the sound system, everybody in the place, myself excluded, would
sing along. It was funny and terrifying at the same time.
