Paul Dean (ex-Streetheart) y Mike Reno (ex-Moxy) ensayan con sus respectivas bandas en un local de ensayo en Calgary, Canadá. Pronto empiezan a componer y escribir música juntos con el teclista Doug Johnson. En la primavera de 1979, el batería de los Streetheart, Matt Frenette se les une y los cuatro se trasladan a Vancouver. Allí enuentran al bajista Scott Smith (ex-Dalbello) y nace Loverboy.
Impresionados por las demos de la banda, Columbia Records (CBS) los contrata para grabar un disco y Loverboy se edita en 1980 en EE.

Working for the Weekend - Loverboy Submitted by Garrick Sissons [email protected] (My first submission)
This work is my own interpretation of chords that should work to do the song on acoustic guitar by oneself. The "riff" chords are optional. I actually start singing it at half-speed and gradually speed up through the song and the audiences seem to find it interesting and amusing. Not a song people expect to hear acoustically. :)
Capo +2 for Original Key (of B) (But if you are not a real decent tenor or a female then I suggest notching it down like I have it here)
