While we crank out boatloads of work, or whatever we do with our not-quite-free time, how about we fit in a round-robin Last Man Standing involving song titles stating specific days of the week…in order? That is, after I start this off with a song title stating the first day of the week (at least as I see it on my wall calendar), you will need to follow up with a song title including the next day of the week. Then we will need to list a song title including the day after that. The game ends when we exhaust song titles for whatever day is due next.
Because I suspect this quest may be tough to take as far as the mountaintop, songs including more than a single day of the week in the title can be used to cover a second (or more) day in the sequence, but as always, please don’t bogart this thread: only one song title in sequence of day of the week per post. Thanks!
Are you ready to start? Here goes:
“Sunday Morning,” The Velvet Underground.
(For those of you scratching your head, a song title including “Monday” must follow.)
“Monday, Monday” — The Mamas & the Papas
Tuesday’s gone – Skynyrd
Well, okay: “Wednesday Week” by Les Undertones.

Just reported that problem to the Back Office…I think it’s been corrected.

“Thursday Morning” — Giles, Giles & Fripp
So, are the Undertones & EC’s “Wednesday Week” the same song?

What song is that? Night Fever? Saturday Night Fever is the movie/album title, not a song!
Pince nez, disco style!
Sunday Papers – Joe Jackson
“New Moon on Monday” Duran Duran
aloha
LD
“Groovy Tuesday” – The Smithereens
“Wednesday” – Bill Frisell
No, they’re not. I should have asked Roger Bechirian, engineer to both bands’ recordings, if he knew of any tie between the songs.
The Undertones:

I can’t find a version of the Costello song, if anyone was curious, that’s not blocked on YouTube.
OK, we’ll allow H. Munster’s Elton John entry at this point, to take the contest out of protest. Thanks for catching that!
“Jersey Thursday,” Donovan
“Friday” – Joe Jackson
“Saturday Night” – Schoolly D
“Everyday is Like Sunday” — Morrissey
“(They Call it) Stormy Monday” – T-Bone Walker
Tuesday Heartbreak, Stevie Wonder
Pleasant Valley Wednesday – Len Bright Combo
(NOTE: I’m curious to see if we can keep getting past Thursday. That seems to me to be the least-appreciated day of the week in rock.)
Thursday – Jim Croce.
I wasn’t going to post this song since I really didn’t know it…but since Croce was a local (long gone but not totally forgotten!) I guess I’ll throw it out there given the limited options.
Definitely, radio-on-top-of-fridge-playing-while-eating-breakfast-waiting-for-the-school-bus music.
The Specials, Friday Night, Saturday Morning
A twofer?
Only one day of the week per post, but in these special circumstances the rules state that a song with multiple days can be posted for each day. Hurry and claim the Saturday spot with the same song title before I do!
For Saturday (following up on BigSteve’s attempt at a twofer): The Specials, Friday Night, Saturday Morning
It’s time for the next SUNDAY song!
Sir Douglas Quintet, Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day
“I Don’t Like Mondays” — Boomtown Rats.
Seriously!
“Hooray for Tuesday” – The Minders
Great one!
Can’t seem to think of a Wednesday one, but I’ve got a Thursday-in-waiting.
To aid trolleyvox in keeping this moving, I’ve got a Wednesday song, one of my favorite jazz recordings: “Wednesday Night Prayer Meeting,” by Charles Mingus.
This is frustrating. I have two Sundays and about six Saturdays in reserve, but I’m tapped out on weekdays.
“This Thursday” – The Scruffs
Friday – JJ Cale
A Month of Saturdays – REM
Sunday Sunday, Blur
“Rainy Days and Mondays” The Carpenters
