You mean the Bloody Moo's "Tuesday Afternoon?"

I've never found a good song for Wednesday though...

[birdman]

Yep. "Tuesday Afternoon"

poor Thursday does not have a song...

Donovan - Jersey Thursday

One of his best early songs, if way too short.

-----------------------------------

excuse my ignorance, but what's "popsike"?

[Don Arnold]

excuse my ignorance, but what's "popsike"?

I was wondering that too.

[bob_32_116]

A few more:

Joni Mitchell - Sunny Sunday Afternoon
Mamas & Papas - Monday, Monday
Cat Stevens - Tuesday's Dead
S&G - Wednesday Morning, 3am (can't think of any others)
Bankstatement - Thursday the Twelfth
Genesis - Get 'em out By Friday
Crowded House - Saturday Sun

[bob_32_116]

Jessica Jones - Sunday, Monday, Tuesday

Only three days in the title, but the lyrics list all seven, and Sunday is repeated for good measure.

[birdman]

excuse my ignorance, but what's "popsike"?

Its a flavour of Frobisher & Gleason ice lolly.

[No Pride]

The Easybeats - Friday on my Mind

Mike Keneally & Beer For Dolphins - Only Mondays

[bob_32_116]

I started to think about songs with the names of months in the title:

Pilot - January
Barbara Dickson - January, February
Garfunkel (and many other people) - Waters of March
S&G - April Come She Will
Bob Lind - May
The B-52's - June Bug
John Stewart - July, You're a Woman
Neil Diamond - Hot August Night (OK it's an album, but also a line in one of his songs)
Carole King - It Might As Well Rain Until September
Judy Dyble - Grey October Day
G'n'R - November Rain
Collective Soul - December

February, of course, made Don McLean shiver.

[Sturgeon's Lawyer]

And, of course, Rebecca Black's "Friday."

[walt]

Forgive the jazz intrusion, but given today's day/date.....


Friday The 13th-Thelonious Monk

[Rune Blackwings]

I was wondering that too.

Tritonus: “Sunday Waltz”
Strange Days: “Monday Morning”
Birtha: “Tuesday”
Strawbs: “Hey Little Man...Wednesday’s Child”
The Millennium: “To Claudia on Thursday”
