Friday through Monday get plenty of attention from songwriters, so much that I don’t need to bother with examples. And the Moody Blues came through for Tuesday with “Tuesday Afternoon” off the _Days of Future Passed_ album. But if there are songs about Wednesday or Thursday, I’ve missed them. We’re not counting passing references, of course: “Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart, Thursday doesn’t even start” doesn’t make “It’s Friday, I’m in Love” a song about Wednesday or Thursday. So are there any songs out there where Wednesday or Thursday is the focus of the song? I know you guys can come through for me, if there are any out there. ---

“Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting” by Charles Mingus. This song rocks. It’s jazz for people who don’t like jazz… Really it’s R&B. either way, a great song. ---
