The first thing I think of when I hear this song is Rubber Soul. And visa versa of course. Rubber Soul was started by Ronny and Michael. They had a place called the Venetian Room in the city where bands played and it was starting to wind down so they decided to open another place with a sixties theme. The opening night went through the roof. And though it was a bit slow in the first six months it gradually picked up and was packed every Friday night. And this is not the time to mention the legendary Doors nights)
It was my first proper DJing gig after a few guest spots at some of their other places. Little Murders were finishing up (actually playing their farewell gig at the Venetian Room) and despite mucking around with a few other bands I was doing nothing. Ronny lived two streets away and I popped into his place when he was creating the poster. He asked if I had any sixties records. Luckily I had a massive collection and I talked my way into a gig at the Rubber Soul. I ended up DJing there for the next 6 years before eventually starting my own club, the Lizard Lounge.
Get Off Of My Cloud was a dance floor filler. It's made for jumping up and screaming along with. We played half-hour sets. At the end of his set Ronny would put on a song he really liked and dash to the dancefloor to do his moves. And he did great moves. This was one of those songs.
