“Thursday”

SP: Multiple vocalists on this.

NT: Originally the album was going to be alphabetical, I thought, “I’ve got to write a lyric to a song called “Thursday”,” ’cause on the original demo Chris had called it “Thursday”.

CL: I called it “Thursday Night Special”.

NT: Is that what it was called?

CL: When it was a demo, yeah.

NT: And that got, erm, abbreviated to “Thursday”. So then there’s the battle of the choruses. [laughs] ‘Cause I thought of this chorus, again in my very creative kitchen at home, playing the demo, that we’d worked on. I wrote the first chorus, and then this chorus is based on Example’s chorus, which we will hear later.

CL: Someone here knows the days of the week! [laughs]

SP: But I think that crisp vocal stuff, it’s classic.

NT: It’s great. So for ages we had a Nicki Minaj sample on this track. And then Stuart revealed he was working with Example, who is, amongst other things, a rapper.

SP: I think we just thought it’s a slightly unexpected combination, which normally leads to something pretty good. Sometimes you go with the obvious and you end up, not really getting above it. Example was just quite an unusual choice. But he, I think he just understood that; it’s just that got more Sugarhill direction.

CL: Totally! And of course he came up with a great chorus.

SP: Yeah, the fourth chorus.
