Hangin' Out In 100b

Musically, Canada’s super popular eighties band, Loverboy is somewhere between The New Kids On The Block and Bon Jovi. When I think of the cheesiest of cheesy eighties sound, I think of their biggest hit “Working For The Weekend” from 1981. I actually really like it, it embraces every eighties cliché with such infectious enthousiasm. Even though it celebrates not working, I imagine it to have been the anthem to cocaine-fueled yuppie, workaholic, “Greed Is Good’, Patrick Bateman-types, who lived fast and partied hard.
