Once, I done heard that Saturday Night was all right for fighting. That never made much sense to me. I enjoy a good weekday row just as much as the weekend ones, so why the heck should I have to wait until Saturday?

Well, the answer has arrived in this tight little ditty from the Kaiser Chiefs. Apparently, Saturday Night is the night to go out, act the fool, get jealous of the best guys on the street, and then... get in a fight! Well okay, they don't advocate that, but this song does have an intensity that bespeaks of getting a bit plastered, and then directing your irresponsibility at those around you. And we all know how much fun that can be!

Seriously, the song is a lot of fun, and though these guys do seem to be carrying the rock mantle forward, this does have a bit of a retro feel, even invoking the Elton John that encouraged the debauchery in the first place. The lyrics devolve into lunacy near the end, but as they give their regards to the "edge of the night," it fits. They seem to get tired as the song goes on. And no matter what you choose to do with your Saturday, the getting tired as the night goes on bit seems to fit no matter what. ;-)

Come for the rocking attitude, stay for the levity, go home with a smile on your face. It sounds like a good recipe for a Saturday, and perfectly describes the ingredients in this song.

All assail.
