Friday, I'm in Love - The Cure

All the days of the week are mentioned in this 90's song.
 
When the BeeGees came up with "Stayin' Alive" for Saturday Night Fever, Robert Stigwood wanted to know why it wasn't called "Saturday Night." They responded by saying that there were already too many "Saturday nights" out there. The above mentioned examples are proof of that.

When it came time to give the movie a title, Stigwood again wanted to call it Saturday Night. The Gibbs preferred to name it Night Fever, after their hit song of the same name. Stigwood suggested Saturday Night Fever as a compromise. And so it was.

Stigwood went to Boz scaggs first, for the soundtrack ..........he wanted many of the "silk degrees" Cuts for Sat Night Fever, especially "Lowdown".....Boz Scaggs manager in his infinite wisdom turned down "Saturday Night Fever" for "Looking for Mr Goodbar" soundtrack. Goodbar maybe sold three copies .............Sat Night Fever one of the biggest sellers of alltime.

If you've ever seen the "director's cut" of Saturday Night Fever, he actually says over one scene, "we wanted to use "Lowdown" by Boz Scaggs here;" instead, they were forced to use one of those cheesy instrumentals instead! ::) :mad:

Its hard to monday morning quarterback such a monster as St nite Fever..
Where would the changes have been if they had gone with Boz


1. "We're all alone" ...instead of "How deep Is Your Love"
2. "Lowdown".....instead of "Jive Talking"
3. "what Can I Say"...instead of Nite Fever"

somehow those don't sound good..............ironically in "Urban Cowboy" a Boz Scaggs Song is huge in the soundtrack "Love Look What You've Done To Me"...
 
I don't think they would have cut one of the Gibb brothers' songs. They were planning to use "Lowdown" where they used one of the instrumentals: either "Manhattan Skyline," "Calypso Breakdown," or "Night on Disco Mountain." They did however, use "You Should Be Dancing" in place of one the songs that the Gibbs actually wrote for the movie (I believe it was "Night Fever") in one scene, because John Travolta had been rehearsing his dance moves to "You Should Be Dancing" and when it came time to shoot the scene, he didn't want to change the music. Needless to say, the BeeGees were okay with swapping out one of their songs for another! 8)

I remember a guy who sang that on the radio to win some prize, and he started out singing, "Monday, Tuesday, Happy Days, Wednesday, Thursday, Happy Days..." ;D
