I am joining with Drew @ The Tattooed Book Geek, the man behind this meme and Claire @ A Knight Reads, this week with Music Monday.
I must apologise now for the video, I tried to find a decent video of the cover I am about to share. You see, Ryan in Nickelback has the most amazing voice and when I hear him sing at the gigs well, I am not afraid to admit it but it makes me go ga ga. This song I have seen him perform throughout the years and it just got better and better. It is a cover, and it such an awesome song anyway! Just gutted that the Nickelback version does not sound good.
I also snuck in the version from Rocketman because I had to see Taron too……sorry slightly distracted! I put in the original in by the legend Sir Elton and local lad to me! So take your pick!
The Video
It’s getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It’s seven o’clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man’s drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don’t care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Oh, don’t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Oh, Saturday night’s alright for fighting
Get a little action inGet about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
‘Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright alright alright, ooh
Well they’re packed pretty tight in here tonight
I’m looking for a dolly who’ll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out she’s with me
A couple of the sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I’m a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass, oh
Don’t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night’s alright for fighting
Get a little action inGet about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
‘Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright alright alright, ooh
Oh, don’t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night’s alright for fighting
Get a little action inGet about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
‘Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright alright alright, ooh
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday,
Saturday night’s alright
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday,
Saturday night’s alright
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday,
Saturday night’s alright, ooh
