It’s Friday the 13th. You need something better than that Rebecca Black song everyone loves to hate.
There are already some worthy lists of notable Friday songs here and here.

1. Joe Jackson, “Friday”:
Monday morning
Friday’s far away
Pray you’ll make it
It’s a magic day
Bells will ring and you’ll go out to play
Spend your money
Pass the bottle
Friday rules
Friday rules OK
2. George Jones, “Finally Friday.” Did George Jones really worry about which day of the week he looked forward to drinking and partying on?
3. “He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask).” One of Alice Cooper’s occasional “comeback” hits—the theme song from the film Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives.
4. “Thank God It’s Friday.” Not the R. Kelly travesty from seven years ago; the Donna Summer movie soundtrack from 1978.
5. Ice Cube, “Friday.” From the first installment of his motion picture franchise. Note how many Friday songs came from Friday movies.
6. Tiki Island, “The Friday Song.” A catchy children’s cartoon thing, found here.
7. Bob Dylan (aka Mike Bauer), “Friday.” A skillful bit of style-parody retrofitting, but the text mythology which has grown up around this purported ‘60s inspiration for Rebecca Black’s “Friday” has been just as clever as the production itself.
8. The Darkness, “Friday Night”:
Monday cycling
Tuesday gymnastics
Dancing on a Friday night
I got Bridge Club on Wednesday
Archery on Thursday
Dancing on a Friday night
9. Mel Waiters, “Friday Night Fish Fry.” Smooth yet snappy soul/R&B. Another “Friday” fish song is one I noted in my fish-song list of the other day: “The Codfish Ball,” which begins “Friday night you’re all invited to dance from 8 to 5…”
10. Abba, “Dancing Queen”: “Friday night and the lights are low…”
