The brand new Simple Plan song that we expected a little later on this week has arrived much sooner than we all expected! The band just released it on Spotify and also YouTube, where you can stream it right now. You can also buy it on iTunes or Google Play.
As you can hear, the song clearly uses a sample from Bay City Rollers’ song “Saturday Night”. This could be one of the 70s and 80s music influences, the band has previously stated influenced some of the songs on their new record. Speaking of the 80s – Journey’s song ‘Don’t Stop Believin’, which is referenced in the lyrics of Simple Plan’s new song, is also from this era.
What do you think of Saturday? Excited for the rest of the record?
Also, thanks to Corey, here are the lyrics to the song:
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT
Ticking like a time-bomb, Waiting for the weekend
(Saturday night, Saturday night)
People throw their hands up, Higher than the ceiling
(Saturday night, Saturday night)
I can see the line up,
Running round the whole block
(Saturday night, Saturday night)
Coming through the window,
I can hear the bass drop
(Saturday night, Saturday night)
We don’t have to go,
We can stay right here.
We can go get drunk, staying up all night
Singing ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ till the morning light
We can line up shots till it all goes bad
And we’re passed out and puking in a taxi cab.
When your lying here by my side, nowhere else feels right.
I’d rather be alone with you on Saturday night
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT
This is gonna be a night so epic
(Saturday night, Saturday night)
You and me baby nothing but Netflix
(Saturday night, Saturday night)
We don’t have to go,
We can stay right here.
We can go get drunk, staying up all night
Singing ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ till the morning light
We can line up shots till it all goes bad
And we’re passed out and puking in a taxi cab.
When your lying here by my side, nowhere else feels right
I’d rather be alone with you on Saturday night
(Saturday night, Saturday night)
If we ever get bored, if we get restless
(Saturday night, Saturday night)
We can get dressed up, let’s get epic
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y
We can go get drunk, staying up all night
Singing ‘Don’t Stop Believin’ till the morning light
We can line up shots till it all goes bad
And we’re passed out and puking in a taxi cab.
We’ll stop at every bar on the boulevard
Till we’ve maxed out the limits on our credit cards.
Cuz when I got you here by my side
Everything feels right,
As long as it’s me and you on Saturday night
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y
