"Louisiana Saturday Night" is a song written by Bob McDill and recorded by American country music artist Mel McDaniel.
The song is adored by fans not only for its easy-to-dance-to beat and obvious namesake reference, but also because of a longstanding tradition that the Tigers fare better both at home, and on Saturday evenings.
The Tigers’ regular season home football games all take place on Saturdays, and preferably at night (though scheduling may be affected by television time slots and weather, such as hurricanes).
Slurred lyrics of the song were quoted by John Luke Robertson on the reality show "Duck Dynasty" as he was recovering from anesthesia after a dental procedure.
The song was used in the sixth and final season the television drama "The Americans" for a line dancing sequence involving the main character Philip Jennings.
