Oliver Cheetham's Saturday Night and Michael Gray's The Weekend

I was listening to Oliver Cheetham's Saturday Night and noticed a certain part at the end the song that sounded familiar to another newer track. I had forgotten about this song, but it is very cool. Cheatham released this song in 1983, but it sounds like a track from the 70s. In 83, pop music was clearly shifted away from this boogie disco era into something new.
The “I can't wait” hook is reused in Michael Gray's The Weekend song. Gray used this hook as his entire chorus part. It is a nice connection given both songs are about wanting to party on the weekend/Saturday.  Cheetham also has credit for The Weekend.  
From the Wiki Page, ((The song adapts the line, "I can't wait for Saturday to begin," from "Get Down Saturday Night" by Oliver Cheatham, who is co-credited as a writer.  ))
There is also a chord progression re-used from Daft Punk with a similar beat and base listen below.
