The record is populated with his versions of other people’s hits. Wilson still records the occasional solo album of new material, but on his latest disc, Re-Covered, he’s essentially covering himself. Besides his collaboration with the Dixie Chicks, which netted him one of his two Grammys, he’s had a hand in songs for John Legend, Taylor Swift, Josh Groban, Chris Stapleton, and most prominently, Adele, with whom he co-wrote “Someone Like You.”

And so, he became a songwriter working for other artists, slowing accumulating an impressive resume of hits in different genres. All I can hear in my head is, “ I know who I want to take me home,” and it’s going to be this way for the next 24 hours.That Grammy moment highlighted the transformation Wilson had undergone in the decade since “Closing Time.” A former member of the alt-rock group Trip Shakespeare, which he formed with his brother Matt, Wilson enjoyed his greatest commercial success leading Semisonic, a pop-rock band that went platinum with 1998’s Feeling Strangely Fine, which contained “Closing Time,” a seemingly romantic song about last call that was actually inspired by the upcoming birth of his first child.īut by 2001’s All About Chemistry, which failed to match Feeling Strangely Fine’s commercial success, Wilson was looking for a new direction.

I’m sorry, I can’t think of anything else to type right now. “It’s not clear if the caller would have been more or less upset if it was a different genre or whether it was just the talent lacking in the whistling.” Mike Herb of the Forest Grove Police Department told Time the following: After he explained his side of the story, the cops let him go and he whistled his happy ass back home. He told them he was upset that she ordered him to shut up. According to the report, she called him a “jackass” during the 911 call.īy the time police arrived, the man had already moved, but they did locate him down the street. So this lady told the man to shut up, and when he continued with his whistling, she called the police on him.

If it’s not, here is a video that will make the problem even worse for you. In fact, it’s probably already stuck in your head. And if you’ve heard the song before, then you know it’s one of those songs that get stuck in your head. A man was standing near her driveway, whistling ‘ Closing Time‘ by Semisonic. One woman in Oregon had something terrible happen to her on Saturday.
