Samuel’s Musicians Of The Week

This week the award goes to Ben E. King (aka Ben Nelson) & The Drifters, who sung many good songs, but probably didn’t get recognition for them at the time [1], none the less, the feature song of the week from them is Saturday Night At The Movies.

Well Saturday night at 8 o’clock
I know where I’m gonna go
I’m gonna pick my baby up
And take her to the picture show

Everybody in the neighbourhood
Is dressing up to be there too
And we’re gonna have a ball
Just like we always do

Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you’re hugging with your baby in the last row of the balcony

Well there’s technicolor and cinemascope
A cast out of Hollywood
And the popcorn from the candy stand
Makes it all seem twice as good

There’s always lots of pretty girls
With figures they don’t try to hide
But they never can compare
To the girl sittin’ by my side

Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you’re hugging with your baby in the last row of the balcony

Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you’re hugging with your baby in the last row of the balcony

Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you’re hugging with your baby in the last row of the balcony

Saturday night at the movies
Who cares what picture you see
When you’re hugging with your baby in the last row of the balcony
