Actually Good Songs About Friday and the Weekend

That's the unholy, robotic piece of shitcheese known as "Friday", a hilariously bad, auto-tuned pop mess that has taken the internet by storm. But Rebecca Black's ballad of fried eggs and fun-fun-fun-fun is not the first song to celebrate the glorious creation that is weekend. And since over 30 million people have seen the song's music video on YouTube (and it's already starting to get infrequent radio airtime) it's clear that the world needs a reminder that, hey, good music does still exist, so I'm happily inclined to list some actually good songs about the Friday and the weekend. Yeah, maybe Friday isn't TECHNICALLY apart of a weekend, but shut up, this is my blog.

"Friday I'm In Love" by The Cure 

"Friday I'm In Love" is, like, a bajillion times better than "Friday". To say the very least. 'Cause IT'S FRIDAY. I'M IN LOVE.

"Working For The Weekend" by Loverboy  

Almost definitely the weekend song, Loverboy's rock/pop rock anthem is a definitive descriptor of the only reason we go through the week. Plus it's got a kicking guitar riff and one hell of a catchy chorus.

"Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" by Elton John

Elton John's glam rock masterpiece is a loud, catchy, roaring tune. If it doesn't get you pumped up, something's wrong with you.

"Get Down Saturday Night" by Oliver Cheatham  

A smooth, funky boogie song by Oliver Cheatham about living everyday like Saturday night and getting down. 

"One More Weekend" by Bob Dylan

Moving out of the '80s, "One More Weekend", a blues number off Bob Dylan's 1970 album New Morning, is not a standard "weekend song"--it's not a rockin', high-speed tracking about shedding the suit and tie for a night of partying, but in stead, a typically impressive Dylan track about meeting your love for one more romantic weekend. 

It's super hard to find videos of His Bobness's songs on YouTube, or anywhere on the internet, so you'll have to settle for this really good cover some guy did.

 "Friday On My Mind" by The Easybeats

The spiritual predecessor to The Cure's "Friday", and famously covered by David Bowie on the LP that gave us this always-creepy album cover, "Friday On My Mind" is a classic '60s rock song about the anticipation of Friday.

And that's all I have to say about that.
