Magic On A Saturday Night
Allan Kilgour (c) 2012
=================

Its been a  long hard week should be making some zzz’s
but the  bass drums been a banging like a chimpanzee’s
 tossin and turning with a party goin on all  right
So I  get myself up and I head downstairs
 read the riot act but no-one cares
 You know you gunna love it when there’s
 magic on a Saturday  night 


so I  slip right in grab myself a jar
with the  noise they’re makin’ sleep wont go far
 tossin and turning with a party goin on all  right
I  find myself dancing with a barefoot lady
 she looked red hot and a little bit shady
 You know you gunna love it when there’s
 magic on a Saturday  night 

chorus

 Saturday  Night  she put a spell on me
 Sunday morning  she set me free
 What a weekend  and that was that
 Ohh What magic  I pulled the Rabbit from the hat

Its been a  long hard party should be heading back home
but theres  a girl on guitar and guy on trombone
 makin’ great music and swingin it all night  long
So I’m  making dance moves I never knew I had
 next thing you know shady’s not so bad
 You know you gunna love it when there’s
 magic on a Saturday  night 


so I  take her by the hand and we climb the stairs
no one’s  looking cause no one cares
 tossin and turning making love just  right
I  wake in the morning and shady’s gone
 she looked red hot and a little bit wrong
 You know you gunna love it when there’s
 magic on a Saturday  night 

repeat chorus

repeat verse 1

Hi Allan,

Loved the chorus effect on the guitar, really liked the solo and as one other member highlighted the sing a long feel. Also really liked the vibrato in your vocals.

I wouldn't really change much at all but possibly harmonies on the backing vocals around the 1.40 mark, great song though

I think this achieves exactly what you wanted it to. Keeps on moving and as is just good fun - Like it lots, a kind Status Quo meets the Beach Boys ish type feel and the guitar solo is Parfett esq rocking all over the world. Fun - enjoyed thanks for posting.

PS your voice got more confident about 30 seconds in and it really lifted this production lots. BTB

[man of simple pleasures]

great stuuf this like, tap ya feet singalong, got kind of a fifties rock n roll feel to it!

[seriousfun]

Agreed. The first few lines felt a little uncomfortable. Nice beyond this though.

Cool feel to this one, a real up beat track that is happy to be what it is, I enjoyed the whole thing. I like the way the lyrics move so comfortably around the melody. I feel it could easily fit in a few more backing vocals here and there, but that could detract from the simple charm.

Cheers for sharing

Good song. This knows exactly what it wants to be. It's nice to have no pretention or deep philosophical connotations - just a catchy simple song that tells a story.

The vocals get better throughout the song and some of the vibratos remind me of Roy Orbison. Very cool!

[evanjavo]

I was getting a Beatles vibe - almost sounds like Sir Paul McCarthey himself, with George and John on backing vocals. I love it! Catchy.

Very 70's - made me think of 'Smokey' ...
I think 'Set me free' and 'Spell on me' are too hackneyed even in a sing-along song in 2012. the rest of the lyrics work for what it is though. Not my bag I've got to say - but it hangs together.
