"After Midnight" is a rock song by J. J. Cale, first released in 1966. Eric Clapton later covered it for his eponymous album, released in 1970. Clapton's rendition became a success, prompting Cale to re-record the song for his own 1971 album Naturally. In 1987, Clapton later re-recorded the song for a Michelob beer commercial and then released the re-recording as a single. "After Midnight" has been considered one of Clapton's signature songs throughout his career.[2] Other artists covered the song in later years.
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout We're gonna cause talk and suspicion Give an exhibition Find out what it is all about After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, gonna shake your tambourine After midnight, it's gonna be peaches and cream We're gonna cause talk and suspicion Give an exhibition Find out what it is all about After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out
