The famous Closing Time chorus by Semisonic, often used as a meme sound for ending videos, streams, parties and shops finally closing for the night.

This clip captures the instantly recognisable chorus of Closing Time, with its warm, mid-tempo rock melody, steady drums and a singalong vocal line that builds to the famous line about not having to go home. It sounds upbeat rather than sad, like the last song at a party, and that mix of nostalgia and finality gives it a clear signal: something fun is wrapping up. Listeners recognise it within a second or two, which is why it works so well as a punchline for endings, farewells and closing scenes.

Closing Time was released by American rock band Semisonic in 1998, and quickly became a cultural shorthand for last call and closing time at bars and parties. Online, creators repurposed the chorus as a meme outro, similar to the Directed by Robert B Weide ending, playing it when a video, party or stream reaches its end. Its familiarity keeps it useful long after its chart run, because audiences instantly read it as a warm, funny goodbye.
