Songs That Include An Actual Clock Time
What are some songs where an actual clock time is mentioned in the title or lyrics?
For example:
Twelve Thirty (Young Girls Are Coming To The Canyon) - The Mamas and Papas
With a clock that always said twelve-thirty
What Time Is It - The Jive Five
Tick tock, it's five o'clock
Tick tock, it's six o'clock
Tick tock, it's seven o'clock
Tick tock, it's eight o'clock
It's Late - Ricky Nelson
If we could a left home at a quarter to nine
Woulda had fun and plenty of time

Re: Songs That Include An Actual Clock Time
Reelin & Rockin - Chuck Berry
This one has so many, it may be the all time "time" champ.
Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:21
We was at a rock'n'roll dance having nothing but fun
[Verse 2]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:32
There's nothing I'd rather do than dance with you
[Verse 3]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:43
And everytime I spinned she spinned with me
[Verse 4]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 9:54
I said, "Dance ballerina girl, go go go!"
[Verse 5]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:05
Man, I didn't know if I was dead or alive
[Verse 6]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:26
But I'm gonna keep on dancing till I get my kicks
[Verse 7]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:28
I gotta get my kicks before it get too late
[Verse 8]
Well I looked at my watch, it was 10:29
I had to hold her hand, she was still holding mine
As we reeled, reelin' and a rockin'
We was reelin' and a rockin'
Rollin' 'til the break of dawn

Re: Songs That Include An Actual Clock Time
CLOCK ON THE WALL - The Guess Who
The clock on the wall says twelve noon
Guess I better get up soon
The clock on the wall says twenty to one
And there's things to be done
The clock on the wall keeps a-pushing me
That's not the way I want my life to be
If you take any pushing from that clock on the wall
You won't be happy at all
The clock on the wall says a quarter to three
I got people to see
Meet my friend Clive
Start drinking by five
End up wishing I weren't alive
I look at the clock
It says twenty to nine
I gotta meet my girl on time
She puts me down and then
By twenty to ten
I'm out drinking again
The clock on the wall keeps a-pushing me
That's not the way I want my life to be
If you take any pushing from that clock on the wall
You won't be happy at all
The clock on the wall strikes the midnight hour
I'm feeling dirty and sour
I feel the clock pushing like the blade of a knife
I wanna end my life
But it ain't no use
I'm used to this abuse
This is my moment of truth
Life is empty
My friends are all gone
But like the clock on the wall
I'll go on and on and on
The clock on the wall keeps a-pushing me
That's not the way I want my life to be
If you take any pushing from that clock on the wall
You won't be happy at all
I keep watching it everyday
The hours and minutes ticking away
I'm not getting any younger
It keeps on and on and on
I can't stand it
It never stops for anything
The clock just keeps moving
Ticking
My life is going
The clock is moving
