The Darkness - Friday Night (Official Video)

[@emersontomasini9495]

Remember me the great song Friday i'm in love of the great The Cure. 😊

[@pbrecipe2443]

justin is singing like robert too, i think its by design. cool song!

[@chrissantos5580]

Me too always thought I was the only one

[@kamchatmonk]

If Darkness was its own genre, I'd call it Happy Rock. And it's what we all need in life. Love you!

[@XuxaPhonShvartze]

Its like "Madness" prodigy.

[@brunobsouzac]

Freedom Call - happy Metal band

[@johnriff85]

Speak for yourself. I need a specific mixture of 60/40 anger to happy in my life.

[@Lets-Go-Family]

Andrew WK is a pioneer of the genre.

[@KachZz]

Isn't it just a glam rock?

[@neblinarock8737]

Hey you! Do you remember me I used to sit next to you at school We indulged in all the extra-curricular activites We weren't particularly cool Oh Monday cycling Tuesday gymnastics Dancing on a Friday night I got Bridge Club on Wednesday Archery on Thursday Dancing on a Friday night Hey you! Could you ever fall for me Oh the way I fell for you And do you dwell upon the thoughts that I occupy Or do you give yourself things to do? Oh Monday rowing Tuesday badminton Dancing on a Friday night I got ping pong on Wednesday Needlework on Thursday Dancing on a Friday night With you, with you . . . Oh Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday Dancing on a Friday night Let the music smother me Whole weekend recovery Dancing on a Friday night Oh see the lady I adore Dancing on the dancing floor Dancing on a Friday night God, the way she moves me To write bad poetry Dancing on a Friday night With you Friday night

[@IcarusMK22]

"The way she moves moves me to write bad poetry..." - always my favorite line.

[@ksssssss]

It's an all time great bit of lyric writing

[@erich1710]

"Fursday". The Darkness are legit. The camp attracted me at first, but 20 years later, their tunes are still in constant rotation on my playlists.

[@sugarx6687]

i was there for them 20 years ago..this takes me back so much. i even wrote an essay about them at school

[@stateofview]

That “Tuesday badminton” line hits deep

[@9ZenMedia]

And Friday I’m in love.

[@trollbot3728]

Got permission first!

[@blacksunshine7485]

About time we got a high quality version of this video! Awesome. Still one of the best rock n roll debuts in the past few decades

[@metamon2704]

Looks a poorly AI-upscaled version to me, but it's better than nothing.

[@GranulatedStuff]

HQ ? Where ? Not here ! Poor upscaled. Ringing. Ah well brilliant song..shite video anyways.

[@SoloDallasII]

Sounds like the audio was remastered and Justin's growl was cut out!

[@cruisematt8585]

I just absolutely adore Justin. Such a cutie and awesome personality too and massive pipes

[@jessehutchings]

These music videos were THE BEST on MTV

[@gcr28]

I’m embarrassed to admit this but I’m just discovering The Darkness. How on earth did I miss this? What a brilliant band, I love them! I’m buying all the albums one at a time and binge listening, I’m only up to Hot Cakes but I just absolutely love everything they do. So talented. Hopefully they tour the states next year.

[@debbiehughes3607]

Better late than never! I've seen them live 4 times now and it's such an experience. Enjoy!

[@ComradeJagrad]

If you haven't seen it, the lead singer also does KZbin videos where he reacts to songs. They're pretty good!

[@davidyeend4150]

You only need the first three albums ("Permission To Land", "One Way Ticket" and "Hot Cakes"). The albums that followed are crap.

[@trollbot3728]

Don't worry, much of their stuff was actually written in the 90's.

[@jtubef8620]

Oh man, what a time to be alive just learning about the Darkness lol

[@MariaFrancesca]

I like how this video is a direct sequel to the I Believe in a Thing Called Love-video, and how it means that 1) Justin managed to make a complete change of cat suits, in the middle of a crash landing and 2) that the female alien and the four-armed towel monster is not stranded on the beach with the boys, so... they must have gone down with the ship and is now perished at the bottom of the sea 🥲

[@absolutely_senna]

The last video before Frankie left the band, fortunately today Frankie is in the band again.😍Thank you Frankie for rejoin the band and thank you The Darkness for existing!!😎

[@Rocksarum]

🎶Monday 🚴‍♀️ Tuesday 🤸‍♀️ 🕺💃 on a Friday night I got ♥️♦️♣️♠️ Club on Wednesday 🏹 on Thursday 🕺💃 on a Friday night🎶 My fav Fridays song!!❤❤❤❤

[@CarloPontevolpe_Music]

In Italy the video was released in 2004. Glad to see it on yt in hd! 🎉

[@nickg4856]

I used to listen to this on repeat in high school, I never knew the lead singer was also the lead guitarist. It's on repeat right now.

[@robertcarr4172]

This Band will be remembered fondly. I adore them

[@xtrakewlguy666]

they're never going to stop making solid gold

[@TomBedlammusic]

Permission to land is one of those CDs that i made sure to keep through the various house moves. What an album.

[@elzorro7of9]

Bought it 3 times....scratched and...ah damn, again.

[@EverettVernon72]

Always loved this song

[@andyraven]

Permission To Land is my favourite album of all time.

[@ralphnewcomejr]

Quite an underrated band with a totally kick-ass singer...👌

[@jevinday]

20 years old. Crazy. I remember having the 2004 Grammy nominees CD as a kid and the darkness was on it. One of those childhood CDs that I held close

[@Gir-Riff-raffe]

Ion give a fuk love on the rocks with no ice will always be me favorite song of theirs

[@codsworth9950]

Goddamn… I was a grown ass man when this came out. Now I feel old as shit.

[@M.C.P.]

Justino mio... the Darkness... siete dei MITI! 🔥❤😂❤🔥 La mia adolescenza... vi voglio bene!

[@tommyschenker]

I love this song! Especially the line about all the extra-curricular activities.

[@jacq38401]

I love how Justin fits in the word 'badminton'... Excellent.

[@veelioTF]

This is one of the best songs of all time !!! And great video too!

[@jpmangin]

Bless you Justin and The Darkness for making such sweet love to my eardrums with Rock N Roll

[@Gir-Riff-raffe]

Thank you cocaine for making such a righteous groove. Too much times gone since love on the rocks with no ice.

[@ワラッセまけんし]

YEAH so where is growing on me? Its my favorite music from this era!

[@joebove4]

I never came across this video back in the day (I Believe in a Thing Called Love, all the time), but I have never before see a music video that picks up directly where another one left off. That’s brilliant.

[@TheSilentStan]

This song makes me happy, nostalgic, sad and hopeful all at the same time… that’s something when a song can do that. 💙 Only the Darkness could do that.

[@anthnyhrne9784]

“The Darkness Ride’s Again !!”,Great song guys 🔥🔥🫡😀

[@cindyadzukichang]

I love this song and video. It's so stinkin cute!

[@tylerk4231]

I have been listening to this on almost every Thursdays in anticipation of Friday, and on Fridays to keep my mood up!

[@moragodofthunder]

I remember dancing to this CD and pretending to be Justin Hawkins as a 12 year old Catholic school girl.

[@TPforangie]

You guys are The Real Thing and this girl is so happy you are👏🎸🙌🏼

[@greentongueman]

nailed the cure sound

[@monkeypuzzlefarm]

I just love seeing the joy on Justin's face every time he performs. The man is thoroughly loving his job!

[@domobrien4575]

How did I not know this video existed?!?!

[@Bagel11e1]

This is the best Darkness song, just musically immaculate

[@broman113]

I am happy to see a well REVAMP of friday night here MUCH Music let us down after The Darkness for rock n roll.

[@SteveSingerFowkes]

My fav Darkness song Simply awesome!

[@willoweezie1]

THis is a nice consolation prize for missing out on tickets when you swung thru the US this fall!

[@damo8791]

bloody love the darkness.

[@elliotfletcher3614]

This man helped me believe in a thing called love, and I will never forget him for it. 🧡

[@stephanehenry3593]

J'ai eu la chance d'assister à leur dernier concert samedi 18 au Luxembourg et qui ont joué ce morceau ! The darkness ,un des meilleurs groupes de hard rock anglais !

[@tt-du6vc]

I feel like a youngster falling in love with music again with this song. Never heard it before.

[@rossiniogates]

Love Justin he’s just a legend all round nice guy😄 always loved this song

[@ivermektin6874]

How have I never seen this.

[@joshwmusic6838]

Yes!

[@TheFlamingPike]

My dad who grew up to Led Zeppelin said this band was the last true classic rock band to ever come to life. I agree! Great to hear this song again, it's a very underrated tune that rarely gets played on the radios nowadays. I also recommend Sloan which had/has a great classic rock sound.

[@69inMW2]

I mean....there's Greta van Fleet

[@pootle5096]

HOORAY!!!! Finally a better quality upload!

[@nayanbhana]

the bengy bennngger ... been listening to this for over 15 years, cant stop

[@Izolenta80]

Прикольная группа:) Мелодичный рок и солист...хм... харизматичный:)) ну и самоирония!

[@sandgroperwookiee65]

Fkn classic rock n roll & pisstaking by the lads. Love from 🇦🇺🪃 ✌️

[@AlejandroGarcia-ry9xp]

yeaah

[@wednesdaydollthirteen8258]

This looks amazing! Watching this now versus then seeing all the details is crazy.

[@JustinQueso]

This is the type of stuff that creates future True Rock Stars and Gods. Thank you guys. Stay Awesome.

[@Carmengarciamateos-jq6it]

Hola The Darkness 😃tuve un problema y tuve que formatear mi tablet y entonces se me borró todo pero ahora tengo otro Gmail nuevo y os sigo de nuevo en Spotify y KZbin❤❤❤

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Whole album is good. The idea of it as a continuous movie is so cool.

[@JeffSouthworth69]

I wish someone would make a distortion pedal that replicated his guitar tone on Permission to Land. Its been 20 years and I'm still impressed every time I hear it.

[@abbyd3073]

Love this song! Great to see this video again. Justin is magnetic as always.

[@antob.6810]

WHAT A GENIUS

[@NeroLobo]

Hell yes! I believe in a thing called The Darkness.

[@Jones-xx2gc]

The Darkness at their best. Brilliant.

[@kenkendavis]

This is the song that got me into The Darkness. It’s my favorite. Since then, The Darkness has become my favorite band along with Queen.

[@user-ahoi-op1yv5sc7p]

Great Song..Great Band..love them so much❤❤❤

[@sam_mathai]

It’s the time of the year when I listen to “Christmas Time” on repeat. Remastered release also fine, I guess 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@justinbienvenue]

The lead singer sounds like and reminds me of Russell Brand as Aldous Snow in Get Him to the Greek

[@him050]

I just love how goofy all their videos were!

[@marklechman2225]

Finally!!👍

[@ChadVader24]

This just reminded me of when I saw The Darkness earlier this year. It was a good night

[@makeyourself1988]

How have I never seen this video 😂😂 Great album!!

[@guilhermeramosdejesus2419]

Somehow it reminds me of a virtual blend of The Rolling Stones and The Cure. I love the band's sound!

[@thenaiveofficial2670]

And queen

[@RockulousRift]

Damn oldie but goodie

[@jorgekaisarieh1155]

La mejor banda de la historia; vengan a Chile!!!! Los esperamos

A little bit of Darkness to lighten up ur day!!! 🤘🙃🤘

[@Fuzzycuffsqt]

favorite episode of the mighty boosh so far

[@schtuff.8207]

I haven't heard this song in so long, god how I loved it when it first came out. I had no idea there was a video for it., I'm glad it was released as a single!!

[@chrisdurcan4673]

Always liked this video. So sweet - aww!

[@jgbertoldo]

Another GREAT SONG and AWESOME video! LOVE this BAND!!!! ROCK and ROLL FOREVER!!! Do you agree? 👍

[@drumwitch4585]

The Brit’s are rocking roll! It the lilt.

Sorry, but they've stopped selling lilt now in the UK. I think they've changed it to fanta tropical now.

Pretty sure permission to land was the first CD I ever bought myself when i was 13 years old. still the best album of the last 20 years 🤘

[@bravestarr2001]

Where has this video been hiding? Out-fucking-standing!

[@lisawebb3629]

One of my fav Darkness songs to sing along to ..... really loud 😂

[@RealMikeLitoris]

I'm from the States but had just moved to England when this album came out, and I loved it. It will always remind me of those times. I hate songs with the days of the week in them though, but that's ok.

[@ChickpeaTwo]

I remember searching for this video on the internet 20 years ago and having to squint at a little 240p version of it but I was still so happy to get a hold of it in Canada.

[@michaelporter9157]

What a fucking banger.

[@andrewedwards1965]

These guys remind me of queen it's awesome😂

[@luiscontreras2917]

"I believe in a thing called love" was the only video ive ever watched by then. I just re watched it n clicked on this after. It was soo weird when it was a continuation.

[@dgkallday4u]

I like it cause it’s like they thought “let’s keep these good vibes going.” And starts this song

[@stoopidvideoz]

Gotta be one of my Darness favourites.

[@misfitcj8744]

I love this guy!

[@john_powers]

You rock Justin. Again.

[@jeremybanks9007]

Best band audience loved go see in old theatre with wooden floors 👍 .

[@stevebird9510]

I had never heard of The Darkness until my brother in law told me about them. I recently picked up 2 of their albums. Great band 👍🏻

[@sah-win]

It looks so weird being all clear & bright, haha! I’ve watched the unofficial one so many times it’s going to take a few views to get used to this official version. Good thing it’s such a GREAT song. I can watch this all day.

[@titus322]

My phone ringtone for years ! ❤

[@cruisematt8585]

If you don’t look like you’re making love to your guitar then you’re playing the guitar wrong. Justin knows what he’s doing lol love this band sm

[@Musulll]

Masterpiece

[@kassih.musica]

I would love to watch this on MTV Brazil, but this doesn't exist anymore. Good to listen you guys!
