David Bowie's rendition of "Friday on my mind" appears on his 1973 compilation album, Pin Ups. Originally written by the Easybeats, this track showcases Bowie's early interest in covering classic rock and pop songs from the 1960s. The recording captures his ability to reinterpret established material with a distinct theatrical flair, even before he fully embraced the glam rock persona that would define his mid-1970s output. This version stands as a testament to his eclectic taste and his willingness to explore the British rock canon. By including this song, Bowie highlighted his connection to the era's musical landscape, offering listeners a familiar tune filtered through his unique vocal style and production sensibilities. It remains a notable song in his extensive catalogue of covers and reinterpretations.
