Saturday Night

A lot of big names were on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony list. But one name was suspiciously absent. So if you don't mind I'd like to say something to the members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Membership Committee... What the fuck is wrong with you people? The Bay City Rollers are one of the most talented performers in the history of popular music, and this is the thanks they get? I don't know where you were in 1975, but it was a pretty dark time for me. My wife Betty had just left me, and I'd developed a pretty powerful crush on the old nose candy. Every night I'd end up at Plato's Retreat, backing my brains out. Bang, bang bang! Ha ha ha. Whoa nelly! Ha ha ha! Bang, BANG BANG! WHOA, MAMA! AH! But the point is, the point is, the Bay City Rollers and their music, that sweet delicious music got me though that revered, fevered summer. The Bay City Rollers saved my life. And for that, they deserve a place in the pantheon. Hit it! Gotta keep on dancin' to the rock n roll Saturday night! Saturday night! Dance to the rhythm in my heart and soul! Saturday night, Saturday night! I, I, I, I just can't wait! I, I, I, I got a date... Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry I can't go on! I'm sorry! No! No! I'm sorry! I can't..no! I'm sorry!

Excellent bubblegum power-pop. Much of their catalog still holds up well today. Plus, even Dee Dee Ramone was a huge fan.

i thought it went 'suh-suh-suh-saturday niiiiight' for the longest time. i guess not! that's disappointing. i think i'll still sing it like that anyway. :)
