Cat Stevens - Another Saturday Night

[oneFtwoFthree]

Cat Stevens - forever alone before it was cool.

[w3mq]

I like both versions. Cat's version makes you want to get up and have a party with your friends and family. Its music and its all good!

[Jannyca]

Oh my gosh... how did I end up here... going back to SAM now... bye....

[LiquidSoapMusic]

@Jannyca ewww how can u like Sams version better 0.o

[Jannyca]

@LiquidSoapMusic Easy... just listen to both versions..... not that hard to come up with the why.... Sam makes me want to move, as in dance, Cat Stevens version makes me want to move too, as in RUN! Maybe that's not so bad, seen the fact I could loose some weight, but then again, I'd rather dance..

0:53

It sounds like he's singing "I'm in an awful wig".

[hirokofalkenstein]

@ridethelapras

[hirokofalkenstein]

Respond to this video... Ha ha ha, your right, hey, whats with all the "Oh-Oh-oh" during the instrumental, he sounds like he's behind the door of an adolescent bathroom, jeez kinda disgusting

[filmsfanatic1]

@hirokofalkenstein what the fuck? weirdo who thinks like that you twonk

[Krazede]

Cooke couldn't carry Cat's Quran...BaHahahahahahahaha

[hirokofalkenstein]

@Krazede, who cares? Cat and his Quran, both aught to get flushed right down where it smells right, if its politics or religion we are judging them on rather than their musical ability...................g

[Krazede]

@hirokofalkenstein Evidently you care, or you wouldn't have taken the time to run your mouth through your fingers. It was meant to be funny, hence the BaHahahahah after the remark. His choice of who to worship has nothing to do with his musical ability. Your opinion is obviously different than mine, I think Cat is better, you think Cooke, that's what makes the world go round. Get a hobby! Better yet a job! Better yet an education, because "aught," as you put it, is spelled, ought! BaHahahahaha

[hirokofalkenstein]

@Krazede, got a hobby and an education, as for a job I dont need one. I thought BaHa was a religion, and you just had a stuttering problem, as for my spelling if you dont like it: FOCK YOU!

[bluebellp1958]

Sams isnt better nor worse, they are simply different, thats all, both great artists, and great singers, just enjoy for what they are or were, fgs

[jorthomas20]

I prefer this to the Cooke version, but that's probably because I heard it countless times before I even heard of Sam Cooke.

[ScoutBaxxter]

i hear this song and i think of my sisters party after her baptisim...it was playing in the background when the home video was being shot

[MichaelDinaswirled]

GORGEOUS!

[54musiclover]

Nowt wrong with the Sam Cooke version but Cat's recording just has a bit more power and soul in it.

[DJGoodgey]

Love this song brings back memories of listening to it on record with my father and uncle while playing pool!

[yourworstnightmare51]

I don't care if it's a Thursday, I'll be singing along with this until I got somebody...

[MrGreggStone]

@lemonadehippie1978 come on dude, no reason to get nasty, I dont fuck with you when your taking my order at Burger King, maybe you shoulda paid more attention in school instead of smoking all that pot, to late to make lemonade out of lemons, lemonade hippie, anyway that jackass is on a no fly list whether he can sing or not, and he cant sing like Sam Cooke...........G

[Funeralcult]

Cat Stevens version is the best. Sam Cooke original is second rate.

[heartx3jess]

I like Sam Cooke's version much better. Like, there's no comparison.

[TheWombat1138]

Sam Cooke's version is many factors better than this. Accept no poor substitutes.

[AndrewP222]

7 people have never had a Saturday night alone.

[DFURY77]

I can relate to this song all too much! makes me feel upbeat about a lame situation tho!

[DaveWollenberg]

Cat hit #6 in Billboard, 10-12-74. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx!

[TWO7rabbit]

andkykat04" I enjoy Cat Stevens, but he didn't write this song. It's a Sam Cooke song.Check out the original.

[4677noel]

this dudes a freak read his bio i dont think he knows who he really is

[huxlex]

@4677noel so are you enjoy

[wmbrown6]

With all due respect, it was this recording I was exposed to first - and the one I've long preferred.

[MrGotmymojoworkin]

It's sweet, this version. Very nice indeed. Sam Cooke also did it beautifully - but more simply. I said what I think about both as a comment about sam's version, for whatever a comment's worth. The music hey ? Listen to the lovely music.

[velina55]

Just a Brill

[mjjcng8958]

is this the guy who wnt to themiddle east to become a musilim? and what possed him to remake a sam cooke song in this way. lol this is crazy. and before you freak fans sy anything i just wanted to hear what this version sounded like to the original

[kremeztutorials]

SAM COOKE ! :D

[Myself246]

@kremeztutorials Hate to disappoint you but that's Cat Stevens...

[kremeztutorials]

@Myself246 but sam cooke's was the original. so hate to disappoint YOU. i mean i'm not stupid. can't u read the highest rated comment? u'll understand what i'm talking about. it's okay, not all of us are educated in music. and u just happen to be one of them. it's aight tho =) now u know.

[Myself246]

@kremeztutorials What confuses me is why you posted that comment on the Cat Stevens version instead of the original.

[kremeztutorials]

@Myself246 im sorry, are u not getting me? because sam cooke was the original. and if ur gonna bitch at me then u might as well bitch at everyone else who's putting sam cooke in their comments. why, out of all the people, are u choosing me? either say what ur saying to me to everyone else, or dont say anything at all. it's not like im dissing cat stevens' version. jeez. GOODBYE :D

[TheGidgetinator]

eeeew... i like sammy's version better.

[acmeseed]

Fight, fight, fight, go ahead bitches, there ain't a single post in the Internet that does not turn into a cat fight of insults. Can it possibly be that there are so many guys with small penises out there? That's the only explanation for someone to hide behind a computer screen and piss out this bullshit.

OK, off to take my meds.

[mandaladouble]

@acmeseed It ain't over until Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies occurs...

[Mavorrick]

This is not even a 'good' Cat Stevens "song"... While it is a decent melody, etc... Cat wrote and performed mezmorizing and timeless works of art . How dare and pity the Fool whom reffers to MajiKat as "Copy-Cat".

EVERY artist has covered another artist at some point. THIS SONG is NOT on ANY of CAT STEVENS ALBUMS. (I have them...) (it's on greatest hits)

[NESHero]

@Mavorrick This is a great Cat Stevens song... probably one of my favourites .

[sweatygiant]

classic ignorance, caring more about who wrote the song than what the song means.

[BagelsArePoserDonuts]

Story of my life :-/

[manwomanboogie]

@BagelsArePoserDonuts me too.

[SMILEY7414]

SHIT WEAK AS HELL!!!!!!! FUCK YOU, CAT! CAT SHORT FOR COPYCAT! FUCK YOU, FAGGOT! SAM COOKE GOT ROBBED AGAIN BY YOU FUCKIN PECKERWOOD FUCKS THAT CANT SING!

[valcarni1]

so much less sleazy than sam cooke's original ... cooke's makes me feel dirty when i listern to it !

[torkerbmx]

i remember my uncle playin this tune in his Van (1975) always smelled like herb in there

[HU463]

how many long nights of papers this song has got me through. :)

[redshirtish]

the Swedish car bomber and Yusuf Islam both wanted to kill people who had insulted islam

[Marcus98829]

Essa canção é muito linda e na voz de cat stevens se torna maravilohosa.

[nutsocket]

i love cat stevens

[danielrodela84]

good song

[Zimnyification]

Yusuf!

[s10wcheetah]

Cat Stevens > Sam Cooke; actually, Cat Stevens > Most singers

[skydome29]

@s10wcheetah whoa now, Cat Stevens was great, no doubt, but really sam was the inspiration of everyone from Cat, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, and sooo many more. Sam gave secular music soul.

[sportdr]

@skydome29  You got that right. Sam Cooke was the man !

[jjlipo]

Sam Cooke >>>>>>>>> Cat Stevens

[SwedichGangsta]

THE SONG IS AWESUME!

Love the beat :)

[LordotheMorning]

Listening to this on Saturday night... Alone...

But I'm happy listening to this song. = )

[dlepagexnowknowable]

nobody said that it was perfect back then but at least there was a well-meaning desire for all of us to live as one .. it didn't happen even though we believed it -- time has moved on and so have we moved beyond the veil of its shadowy mist ..nothing remains but the silence between that long, lost world and Chaos.

[sjgostovich]

This is the best version of this song.

[Ragnar1369]

@sjgostovich what are you smoking? no one beats the original, sam cooke, baby.

[spacepatrolman]

@Ragnar1369 Sam wrote it and he has the smoothest voice the over all quality of cats voice isnt great they usually cover it up with big arrangements [ notice the trumpet solo 1:24 there is a whole orchestra on mathew and son] but he is a good song writer

[lyricistgirl]

Heard this song being sung by an entertainer on holiday last week, I can't believe it took me 25 years to discover such a gem.

[MrSimonGirty]

Happy Birthday Cat!

[nickysims]

Great music & lyrics. Dude is really cute & talented. Please keep recording. We have missed you for real though!!

[HORROR4SURF]

:

Another saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I've got some money 'cause I just got paid

Now how I wish I had someone to talk to

I'm in an awful way.

[HORROR4SURF]

Another saturday night and I ain't got nobody

I've got some money 'cause I just got paid

Now how I wish I had someone to talk to

I'm in an awful way.

[Googlegirl54]

oh God I still love this man and his music!!!!

[amcanmike]

NICE

[DaveWollenberg]

Hit #6 in the US (Billboard). How'd it do in the UK? God bless! Wish Cat would denounce Islam, and realize that Jesus is the 1 true God. God bless!

[SvenDansk7]

Get off your high horse. In the end they're all the same "God".

[dieyoubastards]

@SvenDansk7 yeah YHWH the evil volcano god

[dieyoubastards]

@SvenDansk7 while Jesus is a sun god--superstitious savages!

[sporky69]

this songs cool

[56Mercgal]

@sporky69 This was on my older brother's Cat STevens greatest hits album, I remember playing this album to death! I was 7 when I first heard this song! I love it!

[sporky69]

thats awesome, i liked cat stevens for a while before i heard this song it is funky~~ : )

[amcanmike]

NICE SONG

[TheGangstertaylor]

Love this song. I think it is sooooo cool

[korisx]

I heard this on that lyrics music tv game show. "Don't forget the lyrics" I love this song :).

[classic516]

@korisx it was on the singing bee

[kittyprydekissme]

I remember this song from when I was a kid, but I never knew who did it until now. Nobody I talked to knew; few of them even remembered this version. I heard the original Sam Cooke version some years later, but I couldn't seem to find this one until now.

[tonyndreu]

fantastic, the music is just timeless!

[Pilatead30]

An appalling song to Cat Steven's everlasting discredit that he recorded it. Written by Sam Cooke - and as for the Frankinstein reference, Frankinstein was the doctor not the monster, as Kryton says (Red Dwarf), a 'mistake made by all truly stupid people'

[shayaan2354]

i remember singing this in the talent show in 5th grade. AND I WON!

[heavnnnsent]

great version!!!!!! I love Cat and his band!!!! I saw him once @ Madison Square Garden back in the 70's. He looked so small cos I got cheap seats.

All his albums are amazing

[klobo951]

he look's like jesus

[alienhuman]

could be huh? just may change his name again! haha

[stonerkid10]

sam cooke made this song better than cat

[x0Mercury0x]

This sounds like something from a musical. Like, the protagonist is walking around in a supermarket or something, and he starts singing the main part, then all the villagers around him sing the chorus bits and there's this big number and choreography and yeah. :D

[Troggawa]

LOL.. You have an awesome imagination. Don't lose it. You just made my day.

[bikerboy840]

good mind la u sud go some where wif it...

[uzuhl2]

@x0Mercury0x Write it man, it could be a hit.

[goldsmice]

@x0Mercury0x LOL, this is hilariously true.

[BlackStarGamer]

i hte all the discussion about his religion. For me this has nothing to do with his music from the 70th.

[SuchisLifeIA]

I so loved this picture of him when I was young. My best friend drew it.. but I think I gave it to her when I was older.. she has passed on and it is probably in a tiny attic where she once stored things. Love this song too.. but it isn't on the abum with this picture!! Peace!

[8977Phoenix]

May Allah be with you, Yusuf Islam.

[wex5]

allah isn`t a god u moron. pathetic fool...

[wesleyh1493]

Really? I thought he was....sorry I'm a Christian.

[walrus349]

Allah - supreme being; God

back to the mosque with you

[Whitren32]

How is Cat Stevens now is he still life

[yoopergmoney6]

cats stevens straight baller

[ELRANDY11]

Thanks Marlene ..Cat Stevens one of the best performers of the Seventies . =) excellent post

[amorXroma]

Wait till Sunday Fool

[rfol43]

Love love love this song. Remake of the Sam Cooke classic. Great song!!!!

[thiaanthony]

Our Steven looking beautiful and sounding great!! in early 1970's.

[andynkat04]

He looks like one of the best singer/songwriters we will ever see.

[SMILEY7414]

@andynkat04 AYE BITCH THE LOOK DOESNT MAKE THE VOICE FUCKIN PECKERWOOD MOOK FUCK!

[andynkat04]

@SMILEY7414 How about you look at music you like instead of music you don't you illiterate, needle dick, cock sucking fuckwit!!! Are you another wanna be musician with no talent?

[elstureenio]

@SMILEY7414 You want to hug it out? Yeahhhhh come on, hug it out.

[Zimnyification]

@andynkat04 Sam Cooke wrote/performed that song... Islam almost copied it exactly.

[AndrewP222]

@Zimnyification This is a very different arrangement.

[Zimnyification]

@AndrewP222 How so?

[AndrewP222]

@Zimnyification percussion, backing vocals, tempo, key.

[butkatrello]

this was before he went Mus/ though his Cris/ ways, had to find self

[glennhoodle]

Thanks everyone!!!!!!

[taddington1]

GREAT SONG!!!!!!

[ELRANDY11]

THAT'S LIFE IN THE BIG CITY PAL

[MJBoyagian]

You really can find just about anything on youtube!! forgive my ignorance, I thought cat did this originally....TY Sam Cooke!!!

[chuckles222]

i'm sorry, but no, i cannot forgive your ignorance

[TheMetalhead08]

Asshole. Come on, everyone can't know everything. I guess even Cat Steven's music can't make everyone forgive and forget.

[bornbadd]

Judge Less and dont think you have all the Answers ... His choice of religion Was His to make ....So Unless you dont believe in freedom of choice ...stop passing Judgment...its not Our Job ~!!!

[EyMeng]

didnt he say something that pissed ppl off? what did he say. Hes kool but i kno he said somethin

[v9mpyress]

I love this song! Where have I been? Didnt know he covered it, until all the Sam Cooke ones have been removed. any one have a link to one?

[Rmanders1301]

cat stevens did the original

[v9mpyress]

Written and originally performed by Sam Cooke, (born 1/22/31 in Mississippi, shot & killed on 12/11/64 by female hotel manager in Los Angeles)

Cooke was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in '86 as "the definitive soul singer".

The song went to #10 on the Billboard Top 40 charts & to #1 on the R&B charts in 1963, it was the 20th of his 29 top 40 hits

HMMM? Interesting huh?

[Rmanders1301]

i stand corrected

[v9mpyress]

Thank you:)

[Theilman43]

You are soooo Cool that you can look that up

[piosta18]

The song is by a great artist Mr. Sam Cooke, who died tragically 46 years ago. R.I.P Sam Cooke.

You have given us so much good music!

[tiramisu9xx]

@Rmanders1301 mmm no he didn't.

[davesharon1]

Of course. YOu wouldn't want him to sing it dead, would you??

[adolfhitlerkkk]

ddy

[lplate67]

Oh grow up !

[ShaolinSurfer777]

The song is better live.
