Quiz: How well do you know songs about Friday?

“Friday, I’m in… what’s that line again?”

IT’S FRIDAY NIGHT.

During more normal times, it was an option for many of us of putting the feet up or going out to socialise on a Friday evening. 

It’s little wonder then that so many popular songs either have Friday in the title or have them somewhere in the lyrics.

How will you fare with this quiz, then? Only one way to find out.

    While most capital cities lay on free public transport on NYE until the small hours of the morning, Dublin’s bus service ceases at 10pm. There’s no incentive to go into town – no atmosphere, no events to speak of. And RTE contributes with their non-event, boring, cringe worthy schedule. Best gig? Stay at home with nearest & dearest and have BBC on in the background.

    The easy nice things in life will continue for the homeless, sick, hungry people. Same as it was last year nothing has changed but in 2017 I expect a general election called for by Finna fail if Sinn Fein get more popular. Happy new year.
