For 33 years, we have been singing Loverboy’s Workin’ for the Weekend the same way now as we have been doing since 1981.
So when the people at the International House of Pancakes decided they needed a song for their new campaign, they called Loverboy and asked for permisson to use it. Not only that, they asked the band to re-record the song with lyrics that fit the campaign. They were like; we used to eat there all the time on the road, so they said yes, but with a little hesitation.
“I was a little nervous about doing a campaign for a restaurant, but it is one of my favorites,” admits Loverboy singer and co-founder Mike Reno told Variety. “Who doesn’t like pancakes, right?”
Not only do they like breakfast restaurant, but they also like reimagining their hit single. “We had a blast doing this,” Dean says. “We bordered on being silly, but that’s fine. It was just a fun thing we didn’t take too seriously. We were all totally in on the joke.”
There is nothing more Rockin’ than having fun with your music for a good cause.
