Working for the Weekend

And I don't wanna bag on them, you know, I, I, I...

But, you know, it was a band that used to have a song called Working For the Weekend.

Yeah.

All right.

The powerhouse songwriting duo behind classic multi-platinum arena rock anthems that completely dominated global airwaves throughout the 80s.

I'm talking about absolute joggernauts like Working for the Weekend, Turn Me Loose, When It's Over, and The Kid is Hot Tonight.

Rock Voisin, one of the most successful and beloved bilingual song smiths Canada has ever produced, bridging French and English pop traditions with timeless hits like Helene, Always Be There, and Darling.

Now, if you've ever watched a Canadian songwriter's Hall of Fame ceremony, you know the real magic happens during the tribute performances.

[laughs]

Uh, I, I, I would've gone with, uh, Chris Farley in the Working for the Weekend sketch.

But, uh, ultimately, the Dodgers scored more points than the Giants by the end of the game and, uh, that means they win.

Yeah.

I mean, I, I've heard it since, but I don't remember my first impression.

But if we can move on to Working for the Weekend.

[singing] Everyone's watching to see what you will do.

Everyone's looking at you.

Oh.

Everyone's wondering, will you come out tonight? Everyone's trying to get it right, get it right.

Everybody's working for the weekend.

Everybody wants a little love.

I'm just spitballing here, but when I had my first sip of alcohol, something changed.

At that point, I know for a fact in my life, the song, Working for the Weekend, hit like I've never understood in my entire life.

Up until that moment, I never viewed a weekend any different than a weekday.

It was just another day.

That's on the outside looking in.

He's working for the weekend.

That's why I got

off on this song.

So I'm

going to play Working for the Weekend.

No.

Lover boy.

There were a ton of songs about Working for the Weekend.

I'm sure Huey Lewis had one.

God knows everyone had one.
