More like oh my god, I can’t believe it’s Friday already! What happened to all the other little days of the week? Where did they go? And why does time move so much faster the older you get? Answers on a postcard, please.

Credited to all members of the Kaiser Chiefs, this was originally released in 2004, on the Drowned in Sound record label, but only reached number sixty-six in the UK charts due to the band being still unknown in the UK. Their breakthrough came in 2005 after taking part in the NME Award Tour as an opening act, giving them a lot of media attention.

In 2005 the song was re-released, this time on the B-Unique label, ahead of the release of their debut album Employment, and it gave the Kaiser Chiefs their first top-ten hit, spending twenty-five weeks on the chart and peaking at number six.
