"Tonight" Party
Imagine there's a party or show or whatever, and it's called "Tonight". Then a few days before it happens, conversations like this will take place:
-Have you got tickets for "Tonight"?
-Yeah, but I forget when it is, is "Tonight" tomorrow or the day after ?
-"Tonight" is tomorrow night.
---------
Now imagine the name of the show is "Last Night".
-Are you going to the show "Last Night" ?
-What do you mean, you're saying the show was last night, how am I supposed to go to the show tonight ?
Or:
-I've got extra tickets for the "Last Night" party, you want one ?
-Haa ?!!
---------
Now Imagine the name of the party is "Tomorrow Night".
-You've got tickets for "Tomorrow Night" ?
-Yeah, but I thought it's tonight ? Who's going ?
-Sure it is. We're all going to "Tomorrow Night" tonight.
Anyhow.

Have you heard the "To Morrow" song?
It says*:
I started on a journey about a year ago
to a little town called Morrow in the state of Ohio.
I've never been much of a traveler, and I really didn't know
that Morrow was the hardest place I'd ever try to go.
So I went down to the station for my ticket and applied
for tips regarding Morrow not expecting to be guyed.
Said I, "My friend, I'd like to go to Morrow and return
no later than tomorrow for I haven't time to burn."
Said he to me, "Now let me see if I have heard you right.
You'd like to go to Morrow and return tomorrow night.
You should have gone to Morrow yesterday and back today
for the train that goes to Morrow is a mile upon its way.
If you had gone to Morrow yesterday now don't you see,
you could have gone to Morrow and returned today at three
For the train today to Morrow, if the schedule is right,
today it goes to Morrow and returns tomorrow night."[and it continues...]
Read the whole song here: here.
