Hi,
My friend Marley’s inspired drinking up / chucking out plan for when she owns her own pub involves the use of ‘Roxanne’ by the Police as the last song of the night. Each straggling drinker would be assigned either ‘Red Light’ or ‘Roxanne’ and whenever those words are sung they have to stand up and drink.
By the end of the song, when Sting’s getting really manic, drinks go down fast and everyone is on their feet (and of course, all the people allergic to Sting are pretty keen to leave too….)
Cheers, Louise

For kicking out time, I suggest the David Lynch approach. Politely mention the bar is closing. If punters don’t leave, start talking backwards* and look perplexed and/or sinister when they can’t understand you. At 3am, that should be enough to make even a sober person want to go home and lie down in the dark under their coffee table.
*In proper Lynchian style, backwards speech may be substituted for a recording of a dog suckling her pups, or assertions that you’re already in people’s homes, performing torturous saxophone solos at their spouses.

On the subject of kicking out songs, I work in a bar at the moment and ours is “Closing Time” by Semisonic.
