Spike Jonze's music video for Daft Punk's "Da Funk," a story called "Big City Nights" about an anthropomorphized dog, was filmed in New York's East Village. In the last sad shot, Charles the dog is left standing in front of the old Nightingale Bar on 2nd Ave and 13th St. after he doesn't follow the girl on the bus because he doesn't want to abandon his boombox.

Nightingale's used to be a dive bar. Jam bands like Spin Doctors and Blues Traveler played here early on in their careers, but it's since been remodeled.
