Yesterday we played anti-social songs for those that needed to gather up their energy for tonight's National Night Out - an event that encourages neighbors to step outside their doors and gather together in order to get to know each other and encourage crime prevention.

Though today's Coffee Break is National Night Out-themed, we'll do something a little different.

What songs do you want to hear that prominently feature the words "national", "night", or "out"?

Thanks to Sean McPherson for the idea, inspired by today's music trivia theme.
