I’m just amazed that no band has put out a single called “Wednesday’s Hump Day.”

Simon & Garfunkle’s “Bridge over Troubled Waters” album contains these lines from “Why Don’t You Write Me”

\*Monday morning, sittin’ in the sun  
Waitin’ for the van to come

Tuesday, still no word  
(hum–hum–hummmmm)

Wednesday, Thursday still no sign  
Drank half a bottle of iodine

Friday, woe is me  
I’m gonna hang my body from the highest tree  
Why don’t you write me\*

The song actually sounds cheerier than it reads.
