Corporate radio keeps getting worse and worse. For one DJ, it's the last straw when the radio station computer plays the Bay City Rollers' classic pop hit on the wrong day of the week.

Lyrics
I've been 25 years in radioland I've played every top hit by every pop band Back in the old days I used to care About the logic of what went out on the air On my Saturday shift, for example, I might Play the Bay City Rollers' 'Saturday Night' 'Saturday Night' on Saturday night 'Saturday Night' on Saturday night You can't go wrong, if it's just a bit trite To play 'Saturday Night' on Saturday night Now it's oldies at night on WCRAP If you don't like the songs, please don't accuse me They'd never let the DJs decide what to play It's all set in advance from three states away Their computer has no sense of music or style I just try to ignore it and keep on a smile But they did something so dumb that I couldn't sit tight They played 'Saturday Night' on Friday night 'Saturday Night' on Friday night 'Saturday Night' on Friday night Holy Banana Boat! That isn't right They played 'Saturday Night' on Friday night Listeners called in and said "That's absurd" "That's the stupidest thing that I've every heard!" So I got on the air. I said "Fellow human beings, Did you know that the world is controlled by machines? They've stolen our life, ripped out the heart. They're in charge of it all, and they're not very smart. Our intern would know that it's totally wrong To start your Friday night set with a Saturday song" 'Saturday Night' on Friday night 'Saturday Night' on Friday night And things will get worse unless we stand up and fight Against 'Saturday Night' on Friday night Two robots burst in, ripped me out of my chair They tossed me out on the street, but it didn't end there I said "I'm on a mission to take back this town I'm gonna tear your corporate playhouse down It's a grassroots thing that your cronies can't stop 'Cause we built this city on rock and pop Now I'm a radio pirate redeeming my soul With some art school kids who are out of control There's no playlist, no format, nothing but spunk We'll go from reggae to doo-wop, country to punk We broke every rule, unlocked every cell, Then we made up some new rules and broke them as well And once in a fit of anarchic spite I played 'Saturday Night' on Friday night 'Saturday Night' on Friday night 'Saturday Night' on Friday night It's so left field but it feels so right To play 'Saturday Night' on Friday night 'Saturday Night' on Friday night 'Saturday Night' on Friday night My dance party show is just out of sight It's called 'Saturday Night' on Friday night 'Saturday Night' on Friday night 'Saturday Night' on Friday night Call in your requests, I'll be spinning all night. . .
