Saturday Night's alright
Schoolly D's Saturday Night single turns 40 years old sometime this year. Don't expect me to know the exact date tho because I'm not a nutcase like Dart Adams. Saturday Night isn't as important a song as P.S.K. "What Does It Mean?", but I reckon it's Schoolly's ultimate choon. That's not to say it isn't important too, mind - it's a key song in Rap's breakbeat revolution of 1986, but it rarely gets the credit for that because Schoolly wasn't from New York and the track wasn't produced by Marley Marl or Ced Gee. Saturday Night is one of those classic 1980s singles which never had a video, so the closest we've got is the menu screen from the King Of New York DVD which sets Saturday Night to the scene of Frank White dancing in the hotel room with his homeboys & homebirds. Cheeba cheeba y'all.
