Homestuck references aside, what I really appreciate about “I’m A Member Of The Midnight Crew” is that
a. it confirms that even among proper Edwardian gentlemen, “party all night and stagger home blind drunk in the morning” anthems were a thing; and
b. it’s one of the very few songs of the type I’m aware of that frames that sort of thing as a couples activity.
wait that’s an actual historical song?

Yep – one of the lesser-known works of Eddie Morton. The specific version that appears in Homestuck is taken from a 2003 compilation album by
Archeophone Records, and is believed to be sourced from a recording made some time between 1907 and 1909.
