Friday Night (Arabesque song)
Friday Night was among the first songs credited to Jean Frankfurter and John Moering, which would go on to write all of Arabesque's future material. It was also the first song to feature the newest member of Arabesque, 19 year-old, Heike Rimbeau on lead vocals. Michaela and Karen provide backing vocals. The song expresses the singer's regret of not being able to be with her lover for "seven lonely days" until Friday night, during which they drink wine, kiss, and make love.[2] It was written during a time when the group's members had very little time to spend with their families and significant others. It was a huge hit in Japan, reaching number 9 on the charts.[3]
