She was a normal girl getting ready to go out, she has someone she has a crush on that she is going to see out tonight, someone she has a history with or wishes to. In this video there was just Whigfield and her mirror, her towels, and her hair dryer. Of course music videos in the early 90s were not the grand affairs we see now. Through the video we cut between Whigfield in her towel and Whigfield dressed and plaiting her hair. Whigfield sits in her towel with her hair up in front of a glamorous mirror getting ready.
The sense of getting ready and of it actually not yet being Saturday Night is reflected in the video.
“I’ll make you mine, you know I’ll take you to the top” The song seems to exist within a state of hope, or a sense of hoping for something to happen. Revisiting the song now, years later, I really felt the melancholy that lies underneath the pop and rewatching the memorable video I discovered, to my horror, a moment of pure David Lynch style nightmare fuel (more on that later…) I remember being in discos or parties and jumping around trying to follow the dance moves to the beat of the song. It’s not just the catchy beats and the repetitive lyrics, it was the simplistic (but oddly iconic) video and the incredibly involved and energetic dance routine which went along with it. Searching back in my history, Saturday Night may have been one of the first that I truly loved. Her discography is extremely impressive including numerous hit singles all over the world & four studio albums, a career spanning over a decade which for a pop-dance act is extremely unusual.Īfter many years on stage Sannie has decided to concentrate on the other side of the music industry, writing & composing for other artists in the business, both DJs & singers with names such as the Grammy winner Benny Benassi, Adam K, Ann Lee and In-Grid.I have long been a lover of a Scandinavian bop with a melancholic streak. In 1994 she gained a place in the Guinness Book of Records with the song "Saturday Night" as the first artist to go straight to number one in the UK singles chart with a debut single. Sannie Carlson (best known as Whigfield) is the name of a lady with Danish origins who decided to make a mark in the history of pop-dance music by selling millions worldwide. Enjoy a complete selection of dance classics from 80 to 2K on Spotify with: Whigfield, Dj Antoine, R.I.O., J.K., Neja, Fun Fun, Black Box, Corona, Bob Sinclar, Eiffel 65, Dj Katch, Ann Lee, Gala, Benassi Bros.
