Loverboy has rewritten their most famous song for a new IHOP commercial.
The band’s 1981 smash “Working for the Weekend” has been transformed into “Working for the Weekday” in the new ad, which features bandana-wearing maple syrup caddies recreating the song’s original music video.

“Working with IHOP to bring our song to life in a fresh, innovative way has been such a rewarding experience,” explained singer Mike Reno. “We have always loved going to IHOP and enjoying breakfast together as a band, so being able to have our work featured in the House Faves campaign is a dream come true.”
