“Tonight (Could Be the Night).” “Waiting for Tonight.” “Somewhere Tonight.” “Tonight, Tonight.” I’m sure the joke has been made somewhere on Twitter about the overuse of “tonight” and the concept of being forever young in pop songs but there’s no denying the appeal of a promise of an incredible night to get yourself through the day.
