I haven't had a Friday night off from work in a couple of years, and now that I'm back to working day hours, I find myself at home, waiting for the boyfriend to get home, and wanting to listen to something kinda celebratory and mellow at the same time. What do you all do your TGIF victory dances to?

Yes, I know. This is a dumb thread. If you'd rather, we can make this an Imago777 appreciation thread in disguise. Your call.

First thing I'd do if you're going out would be put on "Party Happening People".

oh hell yes.

but i'm just getting ready for dinner.

i'm currently opting for my trusty mp3 scramble play...so far it's been pretty good:

Scissor Sisters: Music Is The Victim
Prince: The Work

Okay. Now I have a better picture. Are you eating in? If so, Disc 2 of New Order's "Retro" is absolutely perfect for that.

Gorgeous. Deliriously happy in places for when you're getting ready. Kinda introspective in others for when you're cooking.

I swear by it.

GangstaFam said:

Nice! I'll have to give that a try. The only cooking music I swear by is Johnny Cash's God/Love/Murder, but that's best for cooking breakfast.

Anxiety said:

Are y'all cooking tonight? If so, those perfect beats will make for fabulously easy digestion. Keeps things nice and steady.

GangstaFam said:

are we still talking about making dinner here?

You could start with...

Livin' Up (Friday Night) - Bell & James
Up in the morning at six o'clock
Head for the city
Turn on the music, the radio
Nobody's hurrying

Day after day
Slaving away, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Punching the time
I'm late again
Sneak in the back way

I count the hours, minutes too
So glad it's Friday

Jump in my ride
It's Friday night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(CHORUS)
Living it up, living it up
Oh, yeah, Friday night
Livin it up, living it up at last
Living it up, living it up
Oh, yeah, Friday night
Livin it up, living it up at last

Only on a Friday
Never on a Sunday
Never on a Monday

Same situation every day
Some kind of voodoo
Same complications
Stand in the way
Nowhere to run to

My mind is dreaming
I'm somewhere else
Can't seem to shake it
I miss the feeling
Having fun
No way to fake it

Jump in my ride
It's Friday night
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(CHORUS)

And depending on how Friday went...

Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) - Elton John
It's getting late have you seen my mates
Ma tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I want to rock
Want to get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright alright alright

Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"

A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass


Just a suggestion.

Anxiety said:

Yes. And whatever else. New Order isn't too spastic, so you won't be all hyper for when you have to eat.

I was thinking that Deee-Lite might make you so excited you'd puke. That's all.

if only i had that!

meanwhile, DJ mp3 just served up some pretenders...THAT'S what i'm talking about..."show me"

Anxiety said:

If I had it, you'd have it.

Aww sweet! When should I arrive?

GangstaFam said:

Anxiety said:

That's the one I start all my Fridays with.

It's on the "Soul Train (1979)" compilation. It's also available on the "Disco Nights (Volume VII)" compilation and that one is the long version.

Michael Jackson - Off The Wall .....the song

meltwithu said:

AMEN

During the week, prep with this...

Friday on My Mind - The Easybeats
Monday morning feels so bad,
Everybody seems to nag me
Coming tuesday I feel better,
Even my old man looks good,
Wednesday just don't go,
Thursday goes too slow,
I've got Friday on my mind

Chorus:
Gonna have fun in the city,
Be with my girl she's so pretty,
She looks fine tonight,
She is out of sight to me,
Tonight....I spend my bread,
Tonight...I lose my head,
Tonight...I got to get tonight
Monday I have Friday on my mind.

Do the five day drag once more,
Know of nothing else that bugs me
More than working for the rich man,
Hey I'll change that scene one day,
Today I might be mad,
Tomorrow I'll be glad,
I've got Friday on my mind.

Chorus
