Song of the Day 9/21/18 The Easybeats – “Friday on My Mind”

Well since its Friday…  this song perfectly sums up the longing for the work week to be over so you can get to the weekend and have fun.  The Easybeats were an Australian band who had their only real hit in the US with this song in 1966.  Produced by the legendary producer Shel Talmy and later covered by David Bowie.  Fun fact – guitarist George Young, who co-wrote this song with guitarist Harry Vanda, is the older brother of Malcolm and Angus Young of AC/DC.
