Who would have thunk it?
My lack of inspiration last Saturday which saw me feature some Saturday night songs seem to have spawned a mini series just when I least expected it.
It looks like I have enough material for a further four weeks.So let's get started
Firstly here is one suggested by Swiss Adam 10.15 Saturday Night is an early track by The Cure. It is the opening track on their debut album and the b-side of the Killing an Arab single
Saturday Night Fish Fry by Louis Jordan surely needs no introduction.
From Jump Blues to Americana with Saturday Night a song by The Felice Brothers from their Favorite Waitress album.
Then as Ernie might say a mandatory reggae number courtesy of Mickey Dread's Saturday Night Style
More floor fillers next Saturday
The Cure - 10:15 Saturday Night
Louis Jordan - Saturday Night Fish Fry
My fave version of 10.15 Saturday Night is the one they did for the John Peel show. It just sounds marvellously wonderful.
ReplyDeleteSlightly disappointed to find that the title 'Saturday Night Fever' didn't mean we were getting Val's Vinyl a day early
ReplyDeletePS You made up for it though
DeleteI'm looking forward to hearing the classic Bon Jovi song Someday I'll Be Saturday Night...
ReplyDeleteNo, really, I am.
Otherwise, I'll accept...
ReplyDeleteSuede
Joe Ely
Sam Cooke or Cat Stevens
The Blue Nile
Tony Joe White
The Georgia Satellites
The Specials
Tom Waits
Nils Lofgren
Spearmint
The Proclaimers
John Fogerty
Carole King
Neil Diamond
Scott Walker
Emitt Ehodes
And Robbie Fulks (obviously)
Some of those will feature along with some others
DeleteAs a Saturday Night Fever fan I got excited there for a minute but of course there is no actual song called by the same name.
ReplyDeleteI seem to have Saturday Night songs in my library by the Eagles and the Kaiser Chiefs but not sure if you'll want to go down that route either. Drive-In Saturday by Bowie (if it hasn't already been mentioned, although no night).
I have one of the two you mention which will feature in due course
