Friday Night is the Less Well Known Original of the Hit Everyone's Heard of by Someone Else Night...

[GM]

I really hope you are being sarcastic or silly here, given that Joni Mitchell is probably the most famous female singer-songwriter of the late Twentieth century, and probably has several thousand times more fans than Nazareth, and 'This Flight Tonight' comes from an album, Blue, which appears in just about every list of Top 100 albums.

You should know by now, Pete's got a wicked sense of humour

This Flight Tonight as everyone knows is a Nazareth song - wrong!

It was written by someone called Joni Mitchell (probably her from "hello this is Joni" fame)

Hang about! Claptons covers were shite!
Mr Cales songs were rather good, before that geezer got his hooks in.
