"Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting" (sometimes written "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)") is a song by the British musician Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin, performed by John. It was released as the first single from John's best-selling album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973). It has been covered by many artists and featured on motion picture, video game, and television soundtracks.
Billboard found the song to be a cross between John's earlier single "Crocodile Rock" and the Rolling Stones' single "Street Fighting Man", suggesting that it may be a parody of the Rolling Stones but regardless is a "great fun record".
