More than any other day of the week, there seem to be a lot of songs about Monday.
Released in 1971 by the Carpenders. This song says that rainy days and Mondays are both depressing days. It is a bit of a downer song for sure.
Released in 1979 by the Boomtown Rats. This song tells a true, and very tragic, story. Earlier that year a 16 year old girl shot at school children arriving for school across the street from where she lived. Her reason - she didn't like Mondays.
Released in 1982, and again in 1983, but New Order. This is a long dance song, paying a tribute to Ian Curtis who sang with the band members when they were Joy Division. Ian had committed suicide before a tour which was to start on a Monday.
Released in 1984 by Prince, and in 1986 by The Bangles. Most people are familiar with The Bangles version, which while singing about stress comes off as a poppy '80's tune.
Released in 1984 by Duran Duran. This song did not reach the hights of many other Duran Duran songs, mostly because they released The Reflex soon after and it became a club favorite.
Most Monday songs are depressing. There are actually a lot more songs than listed here, and it seems that Monday has more songs to its credit than other weekdays.
I love Rainy Days and Mondays. H5
I enjoy listening to Manic Monday. Great share.
