Loverboy - Working For The Weekend


This is probably the song everyone thinks of when thinking of Loverboy. It is a song that still gets radio play to this very day on present day hit radio stations. When 5:00pm rolls around on Fridays you are guaranteed to be able to turn your radio on and find this song playing on at least one station.

This video has the first appearance of the Mike Reno red leather pants. Not the last though.

Artist of the Week - Loverboy


Loverboy is a Canadian rock group formed in 1980 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Throughout the 1980s, the band accumulated numerous hit songs in Canada and the United States, earning four multi-platinum albums and selling millions of records. After being rejected by many U.S. record labels they signed with Columbia Records Canada and began recording their first album March 20, 1980 with Mike Reno on lead vocals, Paul Dean as the guitarist, Scott Smith as the bassist, Doug Johnson on keyboards and Matt Frenette on drums. The band's hit singles, particularly "Turn Me Loose" and "Working for the Weekend", have become arena rock staples and are still heard on many classic rock radio stations across the United States and Canada. They are currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
