Why it is here
- The song's title and hook came from guitarist Paul Dean noticing the streets deserted on a weekday afternoon, realizing everyone was waiting for the weekend. source
- Before it was a hit, the band tested the song by opening a bar set with it, and Dean recalled the dance floor was instantly packed. source
- It reached number two on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Top Tracks chart in February 1982. source
