Who sang this frikkin song?...................

[Reverend Timmy]

Okay folks,the lyrics go" Friday night at midnight,we're all gonna get what we need,a knockdown,dragout rock and roll party in the streets".It has a piano part in the beginning and it's starting to drive me nuts.I actually used to play in a band back in 1981 that we played this song and I thought it was a Saxon song......

[StukaJU87]

I can't remember.:ROTF: But now I can't get the chorus outta my head.:ROTF:

[StukaJU87]

Apparently by a band called AXE? At least that is what Google says.

It was Axe. Iwould say they were a one hit wonder, but I dont think that song made a dent in the charts.

Well, it made enough of a dent that a bunch of us remember the song! Also, look at all those bands Axe opened for in the early 80s...





I know, you know this ain't gonna last forever
Let's take advantage while we still can
I'm sure that you'll find the days couldn't get any longer
Day after day it's gettin' old fast

Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets
Get all the boys together have them tell everybody that they meet
Friday night at midnight we're all gonna get what we need
Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets

You know, I know we ain't gonna show no mercy
To anyone that tries to get in our way
I'm sure that you'll find we got to put the word out for certain
Once the party gets started we're all here to stay

Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets
Get all the boys together have them tell everybody that they meet
Friday night at midnight we're all gonna get what we need
Let's have a knock down, drag out rock 'n' roll party in the streets

(repeat chorus 2x)

Ron,I knew you would be here eventually.You won me a case of beer on the Bacardi commercial and I figured you would know it.............

What? :ROTF:

Refresh my memory -- and -- when do I get some beer?





IIRC a bunch of guys were supposed to buy me a beer after the Ed Roman incident -- I never saw beer 1

[charvelguy]

That song got airplay for years..

[Jason1212]

Heck most stuff I listen to never shows up on the charts. They keep this one in regular rotation on Serius 19 BuzzSaw. Whenever I need an early 80's fix I tune into that channel during the commute.

[Reverend Timmy]

Ron,Ralph Saenz from the Atomic Punks sang on a Bacardi commercial a couple of years ago and I posted the question here and you ran down the anwser.With that knowledge,I won a bet and a case of beer.............

[RacerX]

Actually, I found the thread -- it wasn't me that got the answer. It was Hollywood.

[Subvamp]

That guitar player/singer from AXE..Bobby something I think...went on to play for Blackfoot towards the end of the band, and the last I heard, he's in the new version of Blackfoot, replacing Rickey Medlocke, who took Allen Collins' spot now in Skynyrd...

Man, I got dizzy from that much recollection...
