What was the name of that club? Pt 2

I remember now. It was Club D!

I would go home from work and take a nap. Get up and ride down to Buckhead -- Peachtree and West Paces Ferry. Most Tuesday nights, I would walk up to the bar, get a tequila straight up with a Heineken back, down the tequila, chase with a swig of beer, and head to the dance floor.

Ron Pullman was usually the DJ. He was set up at the edge of the dancefloor near the front of the club (Peachtree side). I'm sure that it was on that dance floor, while dancing and watching Ron spin, where I said to myself "I'm going to DJ someday".

What was the name of that club?

I used to club. A lot.
House music was "underground" in Atlanta. And underground was -- wherever.

• There was Nomenclature. How could I forget that place? Where Ron Pullman first let me get on some turntables in '97. He gave me a few pointers and let me use some of his records. The club was empty. But I was spinning. That was at the corner of 12th and Peachtree Walk.
• There was 688 at 688 Spring Street. Early '90's. ( I also saw Ru Paul there with Wee Wee Pole in the late '80's.)
• Second Saturdays at Earwax! (11th & Peachtree location.)
• There was a plethora of other one offs: Lofts downtown on Trinity Avenue. Whitehall Street. Above some commercial spot on Peachtree and Edgewood.
• Tuesday (yes TUESDAY) nights at the Color Box w/DJ Ted Patterson. Virginia Highlands. February 14th 1980-something was the date I chose house as MY music. In that space.
  
• Tuesday nights at, um, that club in Buckhead near Paces Ferry & Peachtree. I want to call it Olivers, but that's not right. The club is gone now, I think they're building a skyscraper there. What was the name of that club?
  

124 - House Music, Anyone?

I used to club. A lot. I remember lots of music and some lyrics, but no song titles. Back in my club days, the clubs/spaces I went to did not play music from the radio. We weren't listening to the same thing we just heard in the car! We listened to more than lyrics or raunch for the sake of it. We felt grooves. And most of the words, if present, could be repeated in front of your mother without modification.

I have been haunted by a past groove lately. It has been asking to become part of my music collection.

So I embarked on an internet journey. I had made this journey before but I most likely lost the bookmark on a failed hard drive. Step 1, navigate to google. Step 2, type in the words you remember. Actually, they are the only words in the song.

Tell him that I want to make love to him tonite.
Tonite.
Tonite.
(repeat)

That first search was fruitless to say the least. No, I don't want to talk about a boyfriend. No, I'm not looking for erotica. Let's see, how about adding +lyrics. Great. Now I have a bunch of fake song lyric links and popups. Grrr. Let's try another tactic. What else do you remember?

Oh yeah! The opening of the song comes from a recording of "for colored girls who have considered suicide when the rainbow is enuf" by Ntozake Shange.

you gave it up in a buick?
yeh, and honey, it was wonderful

So I searched for "you gave it up in a buick?". Which lead to this forum thread on discomusic.com, and the answer. That thread also includes a link to YouTube where you can hear the song.

Now, I'm off to find my very own copy!
