Saturday Night is a song by the horror punk band the Misfits from their 1999 album Famous Monsters. The song was produced by Daniel Rey.
Background
"Saturday Night" is about a girl named Julie that Graves met at theatre school at Glen Rock High School in Glen Rock, New Jersey, in which his mom signed him up for it. Graves thought Julie was "the most beautiful girl he saw in his life"; he claimed she sang like an "angel". Weeks went by, and Graves overheard that it was Julie's birthday. He decided to go to the mall and buy her an ankh silver chain.[1] The next week, in the morning, he went up to her and gave it to her, but at the end of the school day, Graves noticed the ankh necklace in a bush, but he didn't take it, because he was embarrassed.[1]
Four years later, in 1991-1992, Graves started writing the song and he thought about Julie, which was the reason her name was in the song; "I'm coming clean for Amy, Julie doesn't scream as well And the cops won't listen all night".[1] The song wasn't necessarily about her, but he thought it was a perfect lyric for the song.[1]
On October 5, 1999, the song was released on the album Famous Monsters, which was the first album Graves replaced Glenn Danzig for the vocals.[2] Graves later came out with another version of the song, "Crying On Saturday Night", on his album Lost Skeleton Returns in 2013.[3] Three years later, in 2016, Graves came out with a sequel of the song, "Dying on Sunday Morning", releasing the song as a single.[4]
