Oregon police can’t keep man from whistling Semisonic’s “Closing Time”
Compared to all the weirdoes who recently crouched in the woods dressed as clowns to torment their neighbors, a man roaming while whistling “Closing Time” sounds downright adorable. But according to Time, there’s at least one Oregon resident who is not much of a Semisonic fan. Apparently, a Forest Grove woman recently called police to report a man who was whistling the 1998 hit that was as popular with frat boys as it was just about any other person in a bar. She tried appealing to the man’s sense of reason, but the “jackass guy” did not heed her request, possibly because she didn’t quote the song’s ever apt lyrics “You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here.”
