I was just listening to Jimmy Buffett’s “Come Monday” (and had to look up the lyrics to realize he isn’t saying “I spent four lonely days in a brown leather haze”) and wondered, what others?
I Don’t Like Mondays - Boomtown Rats
Raining On Sunday - Keith Urban
Monday, Monday – The Mamas and the Papas
Ruby Tuesday - Stones
Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting - Elton
Saturday in the Park - Chicago
Come Monday (it’ll be alright) - Buffet
Friday I’m in Love - The Cure
Black Friday - Megadeth
Tuesday’s Gone - Lynyrd Skynyrd
by Lorrie Morgan was the first to come to my mind.
One of my favorites:
Sunday Will Never Be the Same - Spanky and Our Gang
So what IS he saying, because that’s what is sounds like?
And this doesn’t mention it in the title, but The Clash’s Police on My Back lists all the days of the week in the song, if that counts.
“Friday on My Mind” - The Easybeats
Manic Monday, the Bangles.
Saturday Night’s Alright, Elton John.
Another Saturday Night, Cat Stevens.
I’m glad I’m not the only one! Apparently it’s “brown L.A. haze”.
(Monday I’ve got) Friday on my Mind - The Easybeats
Agh… a day late to Labdad.
I always thought it was “a brown LA haze,” referring to smog in Los Angeles.
(on preview, beaten to the punch)
One More Saturday Night - Grateful Dead.
Edit: YouTube link to Billie Holiday version.
Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?) – Moody Blues. (IIRC, this is the title on the LP. The song is more popularly called “Tuesday Afternoon.”)
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Tell Me On A Sunday
Blue Monday - New Order
Tuesday Morning - The Pogues
“Every day is like Sunday” - Morrissey
“Thursday’s Child” - David Bowie
“Friday, I’m in Love” - The Cure
“10:15 Saturday Night” - The Cure
“Friday Night” - Lily Allen
“Sunday Morning Coming Down” - Johnny Cash
“Won’t You Try / Saturday Afternoon” - Jefferson Airplane
Sorry, gigi, didn’t mean to repeat your Come Monday.
Sun Comes Up It’s Tuesday Morning - Cowboy Junkies (Don’t know if it’s the same as the aforementioned Pogues)
