1) Clock was British house duo Stu Allan (died 2022) and Peter Pritchard.
2) Clock was an American band featuring guitarist Vivian Campbell.
3) Clock is an American band from Boise, Idaho.
4) Clock was a Scottish band.
1) When DJ and producer Stu Allan (died 2022) turned up at Media Records saying 'I've got an idea for a record' few could have foreseen that the idea would be the start of the career of one of the most successful pop-dance groups in the 90's -Clock. Why 'Clock'? When asked about the name Stu laughs 'Why not? You remember the name don't you?! That's the only reason - it could be anything really!' That first Clock single Holding On featured Media diva Ann-Marie Smith on vocals (as well as one of the following singles Whoomph There It Is, a cover of the Tag Team hit), and composed by Stu Allan, Bortolotti , Leoni, Persona and some others. Holding On was allmost a Cappella song... But with Ann-Marie's extensive commitments elsewhere and the demand for club P.A.s growing as the single took off, Stu and co-producer Peter Pritchard decided to form a more permanent ensemble to record and perform future Clock records. Several different performers were tried and even toured as Clock in those early days (such as Lorna Sauders for Everybody, Alison Williamson for the single Rhythm, or Georgia Lewis for Keep The Fires Burning), but it wasn't until 1994 that the production team found the two people who were destined to join the band full-time and take them to the dizzy heights of the UK Top 20 chart time and time again.
2) Clock was an American band featuring Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell and P.J. Smith, who sang backing vocals on Def Leppard's cover of the Sweet song "Action" on Def Leppard's Retro Active album.

3) Clock is an American band from Boise, Idaho, consisting of Jason Ganz on drums, Levi Cecil on bass guitar, and Mark Hitz on lead guitar. They released two albums ('3 Animated Places' and 'The Grief & The Heat') before disbanding.
4) Clock was a Scottish band from the town of East Kilbride, consisting of Calum Stewart, his brother Robbie Stewart and Matthew Keenan. The band initially started around 2007, with Calum, Robbie and a friend Adam, this lasted until 2008 when another member was added, Jay.

Late December back in sixty-three
What a very special time for me,
As I remember, what a night
Oh, what a night, you know I didn't even know her name,
But I was never gonna be the same
What a lady, what a night
Oh my, as I recall it ended much too soon
Oh what a night hypnotizin' mesmerizing me,
She was ev'rything I dreamed she'd be
Sweet surrender, what a night
I felt a rush like a rollin' ball of thunder,
Spinnin' my head around n' takin' my body under
Oh, what a night
Why'd it take so long to see the light,
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right
What a lady, what a night
I felt a rush like a rollin' ball of thunder,
Spinnin' my head around n' takin' my body under
Oh what a night!
Oh what a night!
Oh what a night!
Oh what a night!
Oh what a night!
Clock's song December '63 is a fun and upbeat song that tells the story of a special night that occurred in the late December of 1963. The song opens up with the line "Oh, what a night" which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer reflects on the night that happened several years ago when he met an extraordinary lady who mesmerized him. He sings about not even knowing her name yet he knew that he would never be the same after that night.
As the night progressed, the singer recognizes the feelings he has towards the lady that he had just met. He describes the rush he felt when she walked in the room, and states that it was everything he had ever dreamed of. This moment became a sweet surrender that he knew he could never resist. Despite the intensity of the night, it also seemed to end abruptly, leaving him wanting more.
Towards the end of the song, the singer reflects on the impact this night had on him.
