Their first album started out as a Wareham solo project, but when he heard Phillips' demos, he asked her to join him. 'L'Avventura' was produced by Tony Visconti - and was released on Jetset Records in 2003 under the name 'Britta Phillips & Dean Wareham'.
After Luna broke up in 2005, Dean & Britta spent the next year working on film scores (most notably Noah Baumbach's movie, 'The Squid and the Whale'), and promoting the documentary film of Luna's farewell tour 'Tell Me Do You Miss Me'. They were married during the recording of their album 'Back Numbers' (also produced by Tony Visconti), and simplified their name to 'Dean & Britta'. Back Numbers was released on Rounder Records in February 2007 followed by a limited edition EP, "Words You Used To Say".
In 2008, Dean & Britta covered The Cure's 'Friday I'm in Love' for American Laundromat Records tribute compilation 'Just Like Heaven - A Tribute to The Cure'. The duo's most recent release '13 Most Beautiful… Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests' followed in 2009.
Friday I'm in Love
Dean & Britta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Or Thursday doesn't even start
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
As sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday I'm in love
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
The song "Friday I'm in Love" by Dean & Britta talks about the happiness and joy that comes with the end of a workweek and the start of the weekend.

They show us that Friday is the day when they look forward to letting go of their worries and embracing the feeling of love and joy.
The first verse indicates how most people feel about Monday up until Thursday, meaning they are not very happy and have low energy during those days.

The second verse emphasizes the importance of Friday as it is the only day of the week where people feel genuinely happy, and all their stress and worries fade away, allowing them to relax and let loose.
The third verse illustrates how the singer wants the listener to appreciate the entire weekend, Saturday and Sunday, but still, Friday jumpstarts the entire process. The lyrical style of the song is very catchy, and the melody is upbeat and positive about the rest of week's monotony. Overall, the song inspires hope and excitement, reminding its listeners that Friday is the day to look forward to.
