mattrixs · 10-19-2026, 02:38 PM

Hello dues how are you?

Is there anyone hear that listenend to college stations in the 80s?

There is a song I have been trying to find like crazy and im hopefully maybe someone here has heard it then??

I think its called TENNIS AT MIDNIGHT but I dont know who its by.. It a Punk song I think..

"Ill just go and play tennis at midnight...."

Has anyone heard this song??

I emailed 8 college stations in and around my area asking about this song and none of them replied back.. Its really very sad how mean/unfriendly people are now..

Emailed 8 college stations and got total silence — which, to be fair, is the most 80s college radio response possible; half those DJs probably graduated in 1987 and the inbox is still in a binder somewhere. 'Tennis at Midnight' as a punk title is perfect though — nothing says rebellion like trespassing on a court after hours with a racket.

It seems I have either heard, or heard about a song with such lyrics. You might try doing a Google search. However, if the act which did the song was local or regional, it will be very difficult to track down.

I asked ChatGPT and this is what it came up with

Eight college stations stayed silent, but ChatGPT tracked down 'tennis at midnight' in one try — somewhere a retired 80s college DJ just felt a disturbance and doesn't know why.
