Chick Webb[edit]
Curiously, the melody appears seven years earlier in the middle of Chick Webb's Midnight in Harlem, recorded in Dec 1937. The composer/arranger is unknown but Van Alexander, who did most of Webb's book at that time would be the major suspect. Although the title is sometimes given as Midnight in a Madhouse, Midnight in Harlem has no connection. It seems to be pastiche of sounds one might hear in Harlem, in particular at the Savoy ballroom, where Webb's was the house band, during one of their band duels. There are strains of Basie in it, as well as, this tune, and several that would make their way into other of Alexander's arrangements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.145.174 (talk) 21:29, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night of the Week) → Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night in the Week) – Please swap Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night in the Week) (currently a redirect) and Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night of the Week) (currently the main article) - per article citations, the original song was titled "...in...", with variants sometimes subsequently recorded as "...of...".

- Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. Regardless of what the original song was titled, the song that is the topic of this article appears to be referenced by the "of" version most often in the sources cited in the article. --В²C ☎ 00:09, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
