I would mourn the full effect of "midnight" poetics, as in Eric Clapton's "After Midnight" or Gladys Knight's "Midnight Train To Georgia".

- qbrass 9y agoChange "midnight" to "mid-night" and things work well enough. "It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere" loses all meaning, along with anything else referencing the 9-5 workday.
- askvictor 9y agoAnd good riddance to the 9-5 workday; it's a relic of an work-era long gone. In terms of poetry and art, well yes, people will not quite understand the reference eventually, but this is already the case with older art (who understands the references in 20's folk music?)
