Living for the Weekend (Hard-Fi song)
"Living for the Weekend" is the fourth single from English indie rock band Hard-Fi, from their debut album ''Stars of CCTV''. It was released on 5 September 2005〔(iTunes - Music - Living for the Weekend - Single by Hard-Fi )〕 and peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart. "Living for the Weekend" was written by Hard-Fi frontman Richard Archer and has been heavily featured in a ''Lifestyle Sports'' commercial in Ireland and a Carling commercial in the United Kingdom. It has also been featured on the Winter Olympics Special of BBC's ''Top Gear'' and in the ''CSI'' episode "Time of Your Death". The single cover does not bear the "Parental Advisory" sticker in spite of the lyrics: "Oh shit!" about halfway through the song.
The Sugababes also covered this song, which appeared on their single "Follow Me Home" as well as the ''Radio 1's Live Lounge'' compilation.
==Background==
"Living for the Weekend" began as a demo with Archer's previous band "Contempo" before they had split up. At this time, Hard-Fi drummer Steve Kemp was drumming for the Contempo. Contempo apparently played the song a couple of times in Portsmouth before it was re-recorded with Hard-Fi. The song is a typical Hard-Fi song lyrically, about having no money, a dead end job and, as the song title suggests, just living for the weekend. It addresses what stresses of work and other issues in Staines such as having counterfeit clothes (Archer has addressed the sale of fake Burberry various times in interviews). Talking about the song, Archer said, "It's a song about when you've been working all week, for me and my friends that would probably be in a job you don't like or enjoy doing, and it gets to Friday and all of that frustration you've been through all week is released. The money you've earned you spend it to get rid of all that stress, you let your hair down, your life's your own again, you're free. Everyone knows what that's like. You get out there and you see your friends again. It's like you've been released. And are you working to live or living to work?"〔(Hard Fi Interview - INTERVIEWS - I Like Music )〕
