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.)

    What song is that? Night Fever? Saturday Night Fever is the movie/album title, not a song!

    Pince nez, disco style!

  57. 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.

  58. OK, we’ll allow H. Munster’s Elton John entry at this point, to take the contest out of protest. Thanks for catching that!

  67. ohmstead

    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.

  68. BigSteve

    The Specials, Friday Night, Saturday Morning

    A twofer?

  69. 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!

  70. 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!

  71. BigSteve

    Sir Douglas Quintet, Sunday Sunny Mill Valley Groove Day

  72. jeangray

    “I Don’t Like Mondays” — Boomtown Rats.

    Seriously!

  73. “Hooray for Tuesday” – The Minders

  74. Can’t seem to think of a Wednesday one, but I’ve got a Thursday-in-waiting.

  75. 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.

  76. Suburban kid

    This is frustrating. I have two Sundays and about six Saturdays in reserve, but I’m tapped out on weekdays.
