A 1966 song by Australian rock group the Easybeats. Written by band members George Young and Harry Vanda, the track became a worldwide hit, reaching No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in May 1967 in the US, No. 1 on the Dutch Top 40 chart, No. 1 in Australia and No. 6 on the UK singles chart, as well as charting in several other countries. In 2001, it was voted "Best Australian Song" of all time by the Australasian Performing Right Association.

The minor-key verses of "Friday on My Mind" depict the tedium and drudgery of the work week, taking each day at a time ("Monday morning feels so bad/Coming Tuesday I feel better"). These verses are adorned with a distinctive guitar figure. The build-up to the chorus features a slowly rising vocal, culminating with a shout of "Cos I'll have Friday on my mind!", and launching into a major-key refrain celebrating the pleasures of the weekend in the city.

The song was conceived, arranged, and rehearsed in just half an hour. At the time, the group was under pressure to come up with another hit, following the relatively poor showing of their previous single, "When I Come Home". Released as a single in 1966, it reached the Top 10 of the record charts in several countries. Pop artist Olivia Newton-John covered it for her 1978 album, Totally Hot. A performance for the musical comedy film The Blues Brothers (1980) features an arrangement notable for the horn section that replaces Steve Winwood's rumbling organ work. Released as a single by Atlantic Records, it reached number 22 on the Canadian RPM Top Singles chart. In 1990, British group Thunder recorded it for their debut album Backstreet Symphony.

🎙Mark Dinning - 🎶Teen Angel

a teenage tragedy song written by Jean Dinning and her husband, Red Surrey. Recorded at Bradley Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, the song was performed by Jean's brother, Mark Dinning, and released in October 1959.

The record was not an instant success, with some radio stations in the U.S. banning the song, considering it too sad. Nevertheless, despite the reluctance of radio stations, the song continued to climb the charts. In the last week of 1959, the single jumped from #100 to #50 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It went on to reach #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (February 1960) and #37 in the UK Singles Chart (even though it was banned from being played by the BBC). Billboard ranked it as the #5 song of 1960.

"Teen Angel" and its two predecessors at the Hot 100's top spot, "El Paso" by Marty Robbins and "Running Bear" by Johnny Preston, continued a string of pop tunes in which someone dies tragically.
