A nightclub (also known as a discothèque, disco, dance club or club) is an entertainment venue which usually operates late into the night. A nightclub is generally distinguished from bars, pubs or taverns by the inclusion of a dance floor and a DJ booth, where a DJ plays recorded music. The busiest nights for a nightclub are Friday and Saturday night.
The music in nightclubs is either live bands or, more commonly, a mix of songs played by a DJ through a powerful PA system. Most clubs or club nights cater to certain music genres.
From about 1900 to 1920, working class Americans would gather at honky tonks or juke joints to dance to music played on a piano or a jukebox. Webster Hall is credited as the first modern nightclub, being built in 1886 and starting off as a "social hall", originally functioning as a home for dance and political activism events. During US Prohibition, nightclubs went underground as illegal speakeasy bars, with Webster Hall staying open, with rumors circulating of Al Capone's involvement and police bribery. With the repeal of Prohibition in February 1933, nightclubs were revived, such as New York's 21 Club, Copacabana, El Morocco, and the Stork Club. These nightclubs featured big bands (there were no DJs).
Anderson (or Andersson) may refer to:
Curtis or Curtiss is a common English given name and surname of Anglo-Norman origin derived from the Old French curteis (Modern French courtois, surname Courtois) which means "polite, courteous, or well-bred". It is a compound of curt- ″court″ and -eis ″-ish″. The spelling u to render [u] in Old French was mainly Anglo-Norman and Norman, when the spelling o [u] was the usual Parisian French one, Modern French ou [u]. -eis is the Old French suffix for -ois, Western French (including Anglo-Norman) keeps -eis, simplified -is in English. The word court shares the same etymology but retains a Modern French spelling, after the orthography had changed.
It was brought to England (and subsequently, the rest of the Isles) via the Norman Conquest.
Many Hungarian immigrants in English speaking countries with the last name Kertész have adopted the name Curtis, since it is pronounced similarly and helped them integrate into their new community.

Come along come on with me
To a place just down the street
Where the kids are movin', dancin', groovin'
To the uptown beat of the discotheque
At the discotheque
At the discotheque
Do what you wanna do
Be what you wanna be
Get yourself out of that dull routine
Got no time no worry hurry
Everybody's there
Laughin', singin', dancin', swingin'
Music fills the air
At the discotheque
At the discotheque
Go where the action is
That's where the incrowd lives
Do what you never did before
Off in a corner
A table for two
Soft lights above
Music for love
A boy and a girl
A brand new world
Everything's gonna be alright
Tonight's gonna be the night
Cause you're gonna be there too
And I'm gonna be with you
And we're gonna dance all night
And I'm gonna hold you tight
Everything's gonna turn out right
And ya gonna be mine
At the discotheque
At the discotheque
At the discotheque
At the discotheque
At the discotheque
At the discotheque
