gnomiSo, farwing and I were talking about songs that mention the days of the week, and while we could come up with some, we couldn't come up for ones for all the days of the week. So, I turn to you folk. Can you name songs that (either in the title or the lyrics) mention days of the week? Any and all suggestions appreciated.
ETA: (for my own records, mostly) The Clash -- Police on my Back. Mentions all the days of the week.

Date: 2005-03-16 01:27 am (UTC)"Monday, Monday" by the Mamas and the Papas, or
"I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats
"Groovy Tuesday" by the Smithereens or
"Love You Till Tuesday" (an early Bowie tune)
"Wednesday Morning, 3 AM" by Simon & Garfunkel or
"She's Leaving Home" by the Beatles
"Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (for the lyrics "Will you come see me/Thursdays and Saturdays?")
"Friday On My Mind" -- Bowie cover version
I didn't bother with Saturday or Sunday, not needing an alarm on those days, but I'm sure you can think of good titles. "Saturday in the Park" is Chicago, right? And there's "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2.

Date: 2005-03-16 01:55 am (UTC)I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...
