Saturday Nights Alright (for Fighting) May 2026

Released in 1973 on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road , Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" is a hard-rocking anthem inspired by Bernie Taupin's youth, featuring an aggressive guitar riff from Davey Johnstone. The song vividly depicts the chaotic, energetic atmosphere of British working-class pub culture. It has since become a staple of John's live shows and a celebrated, frequently covered classic rock track. You can find the full lyrics at: Genius
