Trying to figure out who does this song, but all of the words are too common to sort through the Google results. Might have a few words wrong as well: “Friday night, midnight we’re all going to get what we need It’s a knockdown, drag-out rock-n-roll party in the streets.” ---

The band was called Axe. The name of the song is “Rock-n-Roll Party in the Streets.” I’ll give you the link to the lyrics site, but those things are notorious for being loaded with Crapware alert [crapware](http://axe-lyrics.wonderlyrics.com/Rock-'N'-Roll-Party-In-The-Streets.html) Crapware alert ---
