That it is not Saturday is no barrier to the early morning earworm. Elton John's 'Saturday Night's (Alright for Fighting)' - lyrics by Bernie Taupin - is a song that is evocative of another time. It creates images of bodgies and widgies rocking in a 1950s dance hall and the 'moral panic' associated with the youth rebelliousness. The chorus of the song is raucous - what a great word that is. There's a great version of the song here with Eric Clapton and other prominent musicians. If Saturdays are energy, Sundays are sedate.
