Nickelback - Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting) Lyrics






It's getting late I haven't seen my date
so tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I wanna rock
Want to get a belly full of beer

My old man's drunker than a bar full of wino's
And my old lady she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright

Packed pretty tight in here tonight
I'm looking for a woman to treat me right
I could use a little muscle to get what I need
I'll drink a fifth of jack and scream out "She's with me!"

A couple of sounds that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats from the bottom of a glass

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
`Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright

[Solo]

Don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in

Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this town alight
'Cause Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright

Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday night's all right
[x3]

  1. x.... ....

    Had no idea they covered this song normally covers are terrible or better than the original but this......this was genuinely up to par with the original one imo could be because I like heavier guitar but 🤷‍♂️

  2. S.... G....

    Nickelback's good too.

  3. A.... R....

    Está medió buena Rosangel

    WOWW??!!! ☝️

  7. Z.... ....

    I’m not gonna pretend to hate Nickelback like everyone else but this is just not a good song. They changed up lyrics to make this sound like a roadside bar fight song

  8. T.... t....

    I actually like their covers. I don't go out of my way to listen to their songs, but this and "Sharp Dressed Man" got my attention.

  9. D.... M....

    When your in a riots you are one man army survival

  10. K.... S....

    Can definitely tell that's Dime on the solo!

  11. s.... r....

    Nickel back was the first rock band I ever heard

  12. A.... W....

    Elton is so much better.just not a good cover.sounds like the song got old and gained 250lbs.

  13. J.... M....

    Sorry i dont like this cannot even be compared to the who's cover
    Its decent at best

  21. J.... A....

    This cover is amazing but its energy doesn't compare to the power and fluidity of the original. Nonetheless props to Nickelback for their hard work!

  22. T.... C....

    This cover is fucking amazing, fight me

    Great song for kicking ass!

  26. H.... ....

    When you're up for that 5:30 Prem lge fixture at the Boozer and there's standing room only.

  27. R.... P....

    If yer trying to score a dimebag 2:16

    R.... P....

    Don't forget his solo that was given for Side of a Bullet

  28. H.... B....

    Yikes. Bad. Just like everything Nickelback touches. No thanks.

    H.... B....

    and what makes Elton John so much better?

  29. c.... ....

    Shits gay

  30. D.... B....

    Can't seem to find this version on spotify

  31. T.... ....

    Real talk: This ain't bad.

  32. R.... F....

    Such a good tune. love the B String.

  33. M.... R....

    I just realized this was in Charlie's Angel's

    M.... R....

    Full Throttle. I realized that too.

  34. E.... S....

    It's a cover? Sound so authentically Nickelback that I couldn't have thought it were a cover.

  35. T.... ....

    At first I was like Nickleback!? Then i was like Nickleback!

  36. J.... P....

    Nickelback is good enough for dime then there good enough for me rip dime

  37. A.... S....

    Sweet Nickelback. Everyone's favorite band to hate for no good reason.

    A.... S....

    @Errol Hruza clever👍

    A.... S....

    Yeah, I never understood why people's always hatin' on 'em.

    A.... S....

    They’re certainly not the worst band ever. Anyone who hates on them probably buys all that pop bullshit. Hypocrites!

    A.... S....

    Nope, we hate em for All the Right Reasons

  38. J.... P....

    HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS EXISTED!?

    J.... P....

    I KNOW. FUCK YEAH BROTHER

  39. P.... R....

  40. W.... D....

    Awesome cover of this tune!

  41. B.... G....

    Elton John never sounded this good, he wish he did, just a rockers opinion!!!

  42. C.... R....

    This is a great cover

  43. T.... C....

    Hockey Night in Canada? GO BLUES BABY GO!

  44. s.... g....

    Wow, finally a good Nickelback song. Oh wait, that's just another cover
    well.....

  45. F.... 6....

    Bitchin..

  46. E.... S....

    This is one awesome cover would love to see these guys and Elton John team up that would rock

  47. K.... F....

    That's Ryan Peake singing lead on the second verse. Great voice and a great guitarist.

    K.... F....

    That's deff kid rock dude it says it on the actual album

  48. g.... ....

    I hear Kid Rock singing in there !

    g.... ....

    Yes, he was doing some vocals on this one.

  49. g.... ....

    changed a barrel full of Monkeys to a Barrel full of Winos ...LOL

  50. S.... ....

    Wow, this sucks! Lovers gonna love.

  51. N.... E....

    Nascar on TNT 2003 Sharpie 500

  52. R.... D....

    R.... D....

    I used to watch that back in 2013

  53. M.... d....

    Welp its official. This is the only cover of this song I actually like. Some others were just hard to listen to😂😂. Fuckin fall out boy did a cover too and its so gross

  54. C.... ....

    Personally i prefer the original by elton John but this is right up there in skill and i really like this song, but still the original's a bit better.

  55. G.... m....

    All of my familys 4th of julys summed up in a song

  56. V.... A....

    I know Nickelback get's a hard time, but they did a great job with this cover!

  57. K.... F....

    Love hearing Ryan sing lead. He's got a great voice and can play some badass guitar.

  58. R.... R....

    I came here from Queen earls court One its better in my opinion

  59. S.... ....

    Nepotism. Gets you the bass player gig. Then again he's the one who has the 3.8 million home in Hollyweird.

  60. G.... a....

    If this had Taron Edgerton it be way better

  61. G.... a....

    This is so lit

  62. A.... A....

    Yeah...

  63. G.... H....

    First few seconds: Hmm, this is not that great; rest of song: oh hang on actually it's pretty fucking amazing. I like how they put their own identity on it whilst still remaining faithful to a fucking great song!

  64. E.... S....

    Love or hate em they kicked it here well done

  65. J.... J....

    Shit, he has the WORST first name associated with utter douchebaggery and his last name is a fucking grocery store conglomerate. SHM facepalm.

  66. J.... J....

    If I was born with the shitty name Chad, I would have changed it legally the SECOND I realized it was a SHIT-ASS name.

  67. J.... J....

    All of you might think Nickleback is cool, but WHO IN THE FUCK wants to kick it with "Chad" Kroger? NOBODY. EVER. I rest my case. Chad should go back the the Grocery store where he obviously came from hahaha >:) Thanks for the food Kroger bwahahahahahahaha >:)

  68. J.... J....

    HOLY SHIT THIS COVER BLOWS MY COCK SO Hard. I wish I had NEVER heard it. Nickleback, FUCK OFF.

    J.... J....

    triggered much?

  69. S.... S....

    You have got to be kidding me - this version is lame garbage, for tone deaf pussies ONLY! Fucking idiots, fucking garbage...

  70. T.... C....

    Wow. This really..... sucks.

  71. P.... R....

    U forgot to put ft kid rock

  72. m.... g....

  73. M.... A....

  74. S.... ....

  75. D.... B....

  76. T.... M....

    Spider-Man 3D Animation :v

  77. G.... F....

    Sau stark, Meeeeeeeeegaaaaa

  78. J.... P....

    I like the original BUT THIS IS EVEN BETTER!

  79. J.... H....

    elton John would be proud

    J.... H....

    Jason Hann he’s still alive

  80. J.... W....

    Great cover

  81. J.... T....

    Proof Ryan Vikedyl could drum.

  82. O.... 4....

    I didnt hate you before but now i do. Hate that shitty clop clop clop drum sound like your using a rock band set

  83. C.... R....

    Hahaha good quality, nothing Nickleback can be considered good quality.. :/

    C.... R....

    There is a reason your comment has been out for 3 months and has no likes 😂

  84. S.... ....

    peng ting

  85. M.... J....

    I found this song on my old MP3 player from when I was 5 or 6. Not gonna lie, it's pretty amazing to find this stuff a relive a bit of my childhood

  86. Y.... ....

    The fact that Dimebag Darrel is on this makes it so much better

    Y.... ....

    Enjoyed Side of a Bullet?

  87. J.... T....

    Nickelback give this song a hard edge and legitimacy it deserves.

  88. s.... g....

    Jesus Christ this is horrible

  89. M.... K....

    Lots more balls than Elton John's version. Unfortunate that they let Kid Rock sing on this. Also how could they leave out Davey Johnstone's great riffs?

  90. S.... ....

    I'm a dude and I love Charlies Angels.

  91. S.... V....

    What the F**k is wrong with people ???!!! why they call the NicklelBack as the worst music band ever??? what the fuq is wrong with this crap world

  92. A.... F....

    Who is that Chad is singing with?

  93. R.... H....

    If you play this at 1.25 your brain will instantly vaporize.

  94. B.... 3....

    They messed up the beginning of the song when the said its getting late I haven't seen my date the RIGHT WAY is its getting late and I haven't seen my mates*

    B.... 3....

    Boz425 3 they did that on purpose they change other lyrics in the song as well. Probably for the North American market and also for newer generations to relate to better.

    B.... 3....

    Boz425 3 he also means that since he hasn’t seen his date he’s gonna wait for the bois to get in(show up)

  95. M.... R....

    I didn't even know you all did a rendition on that song but it worked out pretty good

  96. M.... R....

    That's badass
