The minor-key verses of "Friday on My Mind" depict the tedium and drudgery of the work week, adorned with a Middle Eastern -sounding guitar figure. The build-up to the chorus features a slowly rising vocal, culminating with a shout of "Cause I'll have Friday on my mind!", and launching into a joyous, major-key refrain celebrating the pleasures of the Weekend . The song has been covered dozens of times, most notably by David Bowie , who recorded a version for his 1973 RCA covers album '' Pin Ups ''. Other acts who have covered this song include Gary Moore , Peter Frampton , and the punk band London . The London version on MCA records was produced by Simon Napier-Bell . Interestingly it was recorded in the same recording studios (IBC Studios in London) where The Easybeats had made the original. |
