Top 10 Songs About Friday

Posted Tue Oct 27, 2009 7:02pm PDT by Robert of the Radish in The Y! Music Playlist Blog

In most countries Friday is the last day of the work week. So people are generally in a good mood and surprisingly productive when Friday rolls around. After all, they have the whole weekend to look forward to. The acronym T.G.I.F. (Thank God It's Friday) is a popular phrase that highlights the longing and affection that regular working stiffs have for Friday. Since most songwriters find themselves punching a clock before they make it big, it's no surprise that there are a large number of songs inspired by Friday. For this playlist I have selected what I feel are the 10 best.

What songs would you add?

   1. Friday On My Mind - The Easybeats

A good list, indeed.
The only one I would add is "His Girl Friday" by The Academy Is...
Have to say that and "Friday I'm In Love" are my favorite Friday songs.

Lately, I try to work 7 days per week, to keep my head above water. Therefore, Friday does not mean s**t to me......

Sorry, you hate the Radish Dude, Angel. But, you can purchase some very, very crappy knock off merchandise, salvaged from dumpsters, at this comments section.

Magnificent list, Robert! Glad to see Genesis (when they were grreat) and Sonny Rollins (and Thelonious Monk) make it. Great songs all. One more to add on:

"Fridays"-Joe Jackson

Robert, Nice list (as were all the days) but you gotta put Love & Kisses "Thank Got It Friday". Say what you will about disco but that song (from the film of the same name) is pretty groovin' .

Others to consider: "Good Friday" by Black Crowes. "Friday Night" by Dennis Wilson off of "Pacific Ocean Blue"
