Saturday
Night's Alright (for Fighting) es una canción en el género Rock, escrita por
Bernie Taupin y compuesta por Elton John para su álbum Goodbye Yellow Brick
Road. Es uno de los Rocks más duros de
Elton, muy al estilo de The Bitch is Back.
Es una de las pocas canciones de Elton que el propio cantante dijo no
ser "el típico número para piano".
Sin embargo, la menciono en este blog porque estoy casi 100% seguro de
que la cantará en su concierto en Panamá.
La
canción fue lanzada en Julio de 1973, y como single, entró en el Top Ten en
Reino Unido (#7), y en el Top Twenty en Estados Unidos (#12). Aunque sólo obtuvo un éxito moderado, sigue
siendo una de las canciones más conocidas de Elton. Incluso existen numerosas versiones
"cover" de esta canción, interpretada por muchas bandas famosas, como
Queen. Esta canción fue restringida en
muchas emisoras de radio, bajo el temor de que su título fuera a incitar a la
violencia.
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
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
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
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
