Sunday, Bloody Sunday by U2
Manic Monday by the Bangles
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday by the Rolling Stones

Saturday Night’s All Right for Fighting by Elton John
This came to my mind after hearing Manic Monday on the radio for the first time in a long while. Anyone care to fill in the blanks?
“Friday I’m in Love” by the Cure, or “Friday on My Mind” by the Easybeats
I just realized that the whole package can be headed by “One Week” by the BareNakedLadies.
I’d prefer to stay with songs that were big hits, but I can’t think of a hit for Wednesday or Thursday.
Simon & Garfunkel had an obscure track called “Wednesday Morning 3 AM.” Does that count?
And David Bowie had a track called “Thursday’s Child.”
S & G were famous and so was Bowie. The songs, however, aren’t famous at all.
I guess those’ll do. I figured there weren’t any major famous ones, otherwise, I imagine I’d have heard of them.
Thanks, astorian!

Numbers 1 through 20 in the above list were all Top 40 Songs during the 1955-2003 period.
Saturday Night is the Loneliest … was a very popular hit for Ellington though the lyrics were written by someone else. Anyone out there know the name of the song title originally given to the melody by Ellington?
“Sunday Girl” from Blondie 's “Parallel Lines” LP became a UK #1 single in May 1979.
The Beatles’ Lady Madonna covers them all but Saturday:
*
Friday night arrives without a suitcase.
Sunday morning creep in like a nun.
Monday’s child has learned to tie his bootlace.
[…snip…]
Tuesday afternoon is never ending.
Wednesday morning papers didn’t come.
Thursday night you stockings needed mending.
*
Tuesday’s Gone with the Wind, one of Skynard’s tunes.

Prozzak (AKA Simon and Milo) have both Monday Morning and Saturday People (both on Saturday People).

and didn’t Lynyrd Skynyrd do a song “Tuesday’s Gone With the Wind”? Or is that not the title of it?
Of the countless music threads I’ve read hereon the SDMB, No one with the exception of RealityChuck has ever mentioned the supergroup ‘Sweet Thursday’ in the Cafe Society forum. Perhaps that’s cuz most people would assume the song Gilbert Street is old Deep Purple.
Probably On Thursday (Tim Rice/Andrew Lloyd Webber) - Ross Hannaman (1967)
Sunday Morning - Velvet Underground & Nico
