    This is very vague, but it was a rock song popular around 1985-1986, and the lyrics went something like: S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night Any ideas? - DC

    It's by the Bay City Rollers, I think the name of the song was Saturday but I'm unsure on that part. Can't believe I actually have bubble gum stuck in my brain...

          There's one from Whigfield? It's not rock though. It's more like girly pop.

              If you've seen So I Married an Axe Murderer, is it the same song that is playing when Mike Meyers first goes to dinner at his parents' house? If so, then it's Saturday Night - Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Soundtrack[^] -- modified at 12:32 Friday 2nd February, 2007 [Looks at your date range] Uh, it's probably not the one I said. :~

                          Not as far as I know. I was simply making a play on words in reference to the Governer of California's habit of referring to opponents as "girly men." :) This is a joke. This is only a joke. Were this an actual political statement, it would have been made in the Soapbox.

                            I would think that you're looking for Elton John's Saturday Night's Alright (For a Fighting), however this song was released in the 1973 album "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road[^]". You can try this[^] and tell us if that's what you're looking for.

                              No, not even close. In this song, Elton says the word Saturday, whereas in the song I am looking for, the word is spelled. I'd like to hear the Bay City Rollers' song because the lyrics look promising.

                                      This is very vague, but it was a rock song popular around 1985-1986, and the lyrics went something like: S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y Night Any ideas? - DC

                                        That's redundant.

                                          If you've seen So I Married an Axe Murderer, is it the same song that is playing when Mike Meyers first goes to dinner at his parents' house? If so, then it's Saturday Night - Ned's Atomic Dustbin. Soundtrack[^] -- modified at 12:32 Friday 2nd February, 2007 [Looks at your date range] Uh, it's probably not the one I said. :~

                                          Well, I think it is the same song, just sung by a different artist :)
