Godawful songs with days of the week in them?

Having finished my 'week of wank' on IHM, what did I miss out? What are your least-favourite day-of-week based pop atrocities, readers?

But surely, Tanya, you forgot that one -- I think -- Moody Blues song called "Tuesday Afternoon," which would have been the perfect counterpoint to Mr. Eno's work. Both English, both precious and both relaxing, if you will. ;-)

And then there's "Saturday Night's All Right for Fighting," surely the most truthful thing Elton John ever recorded. Er...

Tanya, you missed out on another opportunity to slam the Cure! Or have you blocked "10:15 Saturday Night" from your memory?

How you could let a song where the chorus is "And the tap goes drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip drip" slip underneath your radar?

(Of course, I love that song, but I already know how you feel about THAT. I promise I'll stop sending you audio snippets of it if you take back what you said about my mother. :)

two weeks pass...
The worst day of the week song is without a doubt "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," stemming from my undying hatred of U2 and that money- grubbing, shit-licking Bono, who wants to save the world with everyone else's money. Bono is a slave to his pathetic, whiny image and that makes anything that comes out of his mouth more dangerous than people who don't pretend to care. Seriously, how long must I hear this song???

Does anybody know any godawful (or even quite good!) songs with Wednesday in the title? I just searched my itunes and it seems that's the only day of the week i can't account for.

I misread the title as "Godawful songs with all days of the week in them" and I thought, that's right, it does tend to get tiresome when the lyric is structured around naming every last day of the week and what happened that day. I'm ready for the next song long before the singer gets to the end of the week, even on something like "Friday On My Mind" when the workdays get run through in the first verse. It's like a precursor to the dullest blogs ever. Even on Sell Out, in the little squib song that just names the days and gives a little horn blast between each, the Who had enough sense to fade out as it went along. (What's that one called?)

A similar effect but worse is naming every month. "Calendar Girl" bleah.

Well, it's really obvious, but Manic Monday always pissed me off.

"Seven Days" by Craig David.

A similar effect but worse is naming every month. "Calendar Girl" bleah.

How about "January" by Pilot?

There's a really GOOD song with days of the week in it http://www.lyricsdownload.com/dj-shadow-six-days-lyrics.html

Heave Ho, Friday, 28 September 2007 22:36 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh, oh, Aquabats' Pizza Day, I think is the name of the song. That one gets pretty annoying.
