Story Behind The Song
Written about a studio I used to sing in. It was small, I had an all-girl band and when we recorded, we had to turn off the air conditioning. In the Deep South. In the summer. It was HOT! Phew.

Lyrics
Down at Mike's
(instrumental intro currently missing)
I know a place that's jumpin'
the tunes are mighty fine,
they got this keyboard player,
he'll really blow your mind
It's on the second floor,
yeah, you gotta make that climb.
If nothing else,
Hey, you can say
You made it out alive
Down at Mike's
Things're really smoking
You might wanna check your coat at the door
Down at Mike's
The girls are all good lookin'
You'll be dancin'
Takin' chances
when your feet hit the floor
Down at Mike's
Thing's are really hummin'
It's always packed
SRO on the stairs
The band's so hot
You betta believe the sweat is runnin
You need to bring O2, man
Ain't no central air
Down at Mike's
Things're really smoking
You might wanna check your coat at the door
Down at Mike's
The girls are all good lookin'
You'll be dancin'
Takin' chances
when your feet hit the floor
(bridge)
Down at Mike's
Things're really smoking
You might wanna check your coat at the door
Down at Mike's
The girls are all good lookin'
You'll be dancin'
Takin' chances
when your feet hit the floor
Down at Mike's
Things're really smoking
Ooh, ahhh
Down at Mike's
The girls are all good lookin'
You'll be dancin'
Takin' chances
when your feet hit the floor
(chorus)
