    Default Solved: 1979 title for a song about weekends

    I have this song get stuck in my mind and I remember being at the lake and it playing. All I can remember is it's a male singing about the weekend. The only lyrics I can remember are "weekends,it's just what I want to do". It's really upbeat and catchy. I know this isn't alot but I'm hoping someone can tell my something about it. I also remember the work weekend being used alot in the chorus.
    Thanks in advance.

    Love in a woman's heart
    I wanna have the whole and not a part
    Strange that this feeling grows more and more
    'Cause I've never loved someone like you before

    This is the refrain of an elder song; I remember it has also many "weekends" inside: It was a woman singing and this refrain was in reggae tune. I do not remember the artist.

    Listen to this here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Twf5AuacRA
    it´s a cover version by Scooter (I don´t llike scooter) but at 0:40 seconds he used the original tune.

    MAybe it´s this one you looking for

    Oops.....

    The name of the Wet Willie song with the above lyrics is actually "Weekend".
    As near as I can tell, it was only released on their 1979 album, "Which One's Willie?".

    Thanks to user Action Jax for pointing out my error and sorry about the confusion.
