Hey! We need a ruling on whether the day of the week needs to be in the title or not.

'Cause if it doesn’t–You May be Right by Billy Joel. (Friday night I crashed your party/Saturday I said I’m sorry/Sunday came and you somethinged me out again…)

_On A Monday_, from Leadbelly.

“On a Monday, I was arrested.  
On a Tuesday, I was locked up in jail.  
On a Wednesday, my trial was attested.  
On a Thursday, nobody would go my bail…”

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.
