On this day in 1975, Bay City Rollers got their first US gold record for the song “Saturday Night!” But we can do better than that in the Question of the Day!
Here’s a challenge for you…
“Saturday Night in the World” – Mason Williams
It’s instrumental, but a beautiful little piece!
I don’t like Monday’s by the Boomtown Rats
Tuesdays Gone by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I remember this song playing on the radio on 9/11/01, as we watched the smoke from the Trade Center blowing. The song took on a whole new meaning after that.
So many good songs with days of the week in them…two of my favorites are
I don’t like Mondays by Bob Geldorf
And on the opposite end of the spectrum
One more Saturday night by The Grateful Dead
Missed you last week. Hope all is well,
Xoxo
I Don’t Like Mondays – Boomtown Rats
Tuesday Morning – The Pogues
Wednesday and Thursday have me stumped …
Friday I’m In Love – The Cure
(Looking For) The Heart Of Saturday Night – Tom Waits
Sunday Papers – Joe Jackson
And you can cover ALL the bases with 7 Nights To Rock by Nick Lowe … And honorable mention for Friday Night by Billy Falcon …
Clash – Police on my Back
Los Lobos – This Time
Tuesday’s Gone- Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Skynyrd on FUV!!! Go ahead…I dare you!
Thanks
The one that pops into mind is
SEVEN NIGHTS TO ROCK by Moon Mulligan or Nick Lowe

Please make my day and find room on your playlist for what is, in my opinion, perhaps the finest live interpretation ever of a blues classic: Stormy Monday, performed by the Allman Brothers during their legendary Fillmore East concerts.
It’s about 8 minutes long, but presents irrefutable proof of Duane’s blues chops.
Thanks, and have a great day.
Good Morning! Okay, these may not all be “good” but I’ll let you be the judge! ;-)
Manic Monday – the Bangles (written by Prince!)
Monday, Monday – the Mamas and the Papas

Day of the week song: 7 Nights to Rock I like the Nick Lowe version, but there appear to be many more.

or
One More Saturday Night by the Grateful Dead
How about “Stormy Monday” by B.B. King?
Thanks

How about the theme from “Happy Days?” That has Thursday in it!
And as apropos, this song has ‘em all: “Wednesday” from the original cast recording of “Bright Lights, Big City
Otherwise I can’t think of a song with all the days of the week but I have thought of these truncated ones, which maybe will count:
“Friday On My Mind” by the New Beats and on the soundtrack of the movie “Pirate Radio” and also covered by David Bowie
“Monday Monday” by the Mamas and Papas
“Manic Monday” by The Bangles
“Eight days a Week” by the Beatles
“Wednesday Morning” Simon & Garfunkel
Thursday afternoon – Indigo Girls
(or Brian Eno, if you’ve got an hour)
First, thanks for that Dawes song yesterday. Tasty morsel of lo-fi roots pop. My pick for today is an obvious song, “Friday I’m in Love” by The Cure. Problem is I don’t particularly like it. Luckily, Seth Davis has a really nice, stripped-down, folky cover that put it in a whole new light for me. Could you play his version?
The Killingtons – “Thursday” – I forget which record it was on…
On a Sunday by Seanchai and the Unity Squad. You will never play that! Welcome home Claudia!
Friday On My Mind—Easybeats
It’s Friday I’m In Love—Cure
Let’s Kill Saturday Night–5 Chinese Brothers
Morphine’s “Thursday” on Cure for Pain.
you just played David Bowie and I realized there’s a David Bowie version of
Thursday’s Child!
That rounds out my previously sent selections for today!
Saturday – “Saturday’s Child” by The Monkees (great song)
Sunday – “Pleasant Valley Sunday” by the Monkees
Monday – “Rainy Days and Monday (always get me down)” – The Carpenters (not sure if this is on “If I was a Carpenter” album)
“I Don’t Like Monday’s” – Boomtown Rats
Tuesday – ?
Wednesday – ?
Thursday – ?
Friday – “Friday” by Joe Jackson from I’m The Man
I’d have more if I had access to my iTunes library on my home computer.
What was yesterday’s question? “Gone With The Wind” at 70?
Have a good DAY!
Thursday by morphine
Don’t care what else you play, PUH-LEEEZE play Cat Stevens’ Tuesday’s Dead…thanks!!
Regards,
Jim Croce has a song called Thursday as does David Bowie
If you’re looking for a Thursday song, look no further… “Thursday” by Morphine. Great tune about an afternoon”game of pool”.
Enjoy
How about opening with Welcome To My Working Week by Elvis Costello and Lady Madonnaby The Beatles (Duh).
Does this work: Ol’ Rivers by Walter Brennan??
POLICE ON MY BACK
Hey, Claudia!
My day starts on Tuesday. I’m a pastor. The end of the week is Sunday. Monday, day off. Tuesday, here we go again.
Have a great day!
PS–Went gaga for the Bay City Rollers as a teen! What a hoot!
surprised no one yet mentioned “Daddy’s Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car” off of Zooropa by U2.
All days of the week duly mentioned in the chorus.
The Smiths/Morrissey.. EVERYDAY IS LIKE SUNDAY!
Saturday Night Is Dead – Graham Parker
