Dance the night away?
July 9th, 2006 at 01:35
I went to see a local band play some live music this evening.
One of the songs they did was a cover of what I believe is called Dance the Night Away by who Google think are The Mavericks.
The thing that struck me most about this song was how implausable the singers intentions are.
According to the 2003 Licensing Act, if he wanted to “dance the night away” to amplified live music in a small venue that holds 200 or less people, such as the venue I was in this evening, he’d have to stop at 11pm. The only exception is for Morris Dancing. So if he wanted to Morris Dance the Night Away, that’d be fine. I’d imagine this would kill the atmosphere for the “swaying senoritas”, who are also present.
Irrelavantly, also whilst there I had a go with the ‘82ASK’ text message service- you can text them any question and they’ll text you back with an answer. I asked “Who is the British James O’Malley?”. A few minutes later I got the following reply:
“James O’Malley has a popular blog at http://jamesomalley.co.uk/ commenting on anything from politics, football and window cleaning“.
“Excellent”, I thought, as I realised I’d paid a pound to have someone Google my name.
