neon signs

“They’re just everywhere.”

“I saw my first one when I was 16.”

“Frankly, I was remarking the other day as to how I don't see as many neon signs these days as I used to. It seems a lot of commercial places have opted for more fluorescent based lighting rather than neon. I still see them used in bars and taverns advertising beer and such...”

lyrics as recorded by The Five Man Electrical Band in 1971

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you
the
right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a
penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
Wooo!

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

“Good song, Stove. Tesla did a good remake of it a few years ago...”

“As long as those neon signs lead me to beer - all is good in the world!”

“Yea, I heard Tesla's version, like the original better. Another One Hit Wonder.”

“Sam Adams is a good neon sign.”

“Guinness on draft!”

“second the guinness”
