Top 10 Songs About Saturday

Posted Wed Oct 28, 2009 5:53pm PDT by Robert of the Radish in The Y! Music Playlist Blog

Ah... Saturday, the day loved above all others. For those of us who work a standard Monday to Friday schedule, Saturday is the day we can sleep in, and when we do decide to wake up, we can fill it with family, friends, sport, or any type of leisure activity we wish. And the day after Saturday is also a day of rest, so Saturday has an awful lot going for it. Even though most musicians work on Saturday, they understand its position as king of the week. And because of this it's easy to find a pile of great songs about Saturday. So many in fact, that I had to cut out a good number of them in order to get down to ten.

What's your favorite Saturday song?

Sam Cooke's "Another Saturday Night" peaked at #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, Cat Steven's cover version of the song peaked at #6. This is why I picked the Cat Steven's version. A tough call, and I won't blame you if you have a desire to beat me with a tire iron over it.

AP - There's something about the honeyed sweetness of Joseph Calleja's voice that seems to evoke memories of a golden age, as if this young tenor carried within his vocal cords a secret passed down from bygone generation… More »
