Saturday Night
The Easybeats Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And as I stood there on the corner of the street
(Myah, yah, myaaah)
And there before me passed this lovely pair of feet
(Myah, yah, myaaah)
My eyes went dim, inside my head my mind it swum
'Cause as she walked on by, the pavement saw

Everybody sing
Da na na na, da na na na na, na da da (hey, hey!)
And again
Da na na na, da na na na na, na da da da

Saturday night and I had nothing to do
Everythin' seems so wrong
Saturday night, now I've got somethin' to do
'Cause she came and proved me wrong

I walked on up to her and asked her for her name
(Myah, yah, myaaah)
She gave me look that made me feel it was in vain
(Myah, yah, myaaah)
But when she spoke, she spoke with longin' in her voice
(Oooaah)
And when she took my arm, she made her choice

Her choice was
Da na na na, da na na na na, na da da (hey, hey!)
Let me hear it again
Da na na na, da na na na na, na da da da

Saturday night and I had nothing to do
Everythin' seems so wrong
Saturday night, now I've got somethin' to do
'Cause she came and proved me wrong

Da na na na, na da na na, na da da
There it goes again
Da na na na, na da na na, na da da
Let me hear it some more
Da na na na, da na na na na, na da da

There's that sound
Yeah
There it goes again
Yeah
Even in my dreams
Yeah
It might stop, it seems

Da na na na, na da na na na, na da da
Damn, get it out of my mind!
Da na na na, da na na na na, na da da




Why don't it stop?!
Da na na na, da na na na na, na da da...

Overall Meaning

The Easybeats's song Saturday Night is about the singer's experience when he sees a woman walk by and becomes infatuated with her. He is so entranced by her that even the pavement seems to be aware of her presence. The singer becomes nervous when he approaches her and asks for her name, but when she takes his arm, he feels validated and happy. Saturday night is usually known for being a time of fun and freedom, but before he saw this woman, the singer had nothing to do and felt lost. The woman gave him purpose on that Saturday night and made him feel like he was part of something.


The lyrics can also be interpreted as a commentary on the fleeting nature of infatuation. The singer sees this woman and is immediately taken with her, but it is uncertain whether their relationship will last beyond this one night. The repetition of the "da na na na" refrain throughout the song conveys the feeling of the singer's emotions running wild and the uncertainty of what the future holds.


Overall, the song captures the feeling of being swept up in infatuation and the thrill of finding purpose in an unexpected place.
