It's a Monday kind of Tuesday.

I know it's Wednesday, but I was just thinking about "It's a Monday Kind of Tuesday," and the question occurred to me: What day of the week is most frequently sung about?

And if you're planning to say Friday, I hope the song on your mind is "Friday On My Mind."

I'm very fond of "Gloomy Sunday," and maybe it's Sunday.

I'm guessing the answer is Friday, Monday, or Sunday. No way it's Thursday.

@EM That's some choice old-school web design!

Old school website design, boring as it is, wins over the garish. Now, what about songs that have "weekend" in the title? That would add to the Sat-Sun count.

“Monday, Monday” – Mamas and Papas

I don't care if Monday's blue,

It's Friday, I'm in love...

"Saturday Night At The Movies" - inspired by a TV show, no less.

Friday on My Mind is a killer pop song and that's a very cool video. Once again YouTube justifies the existence of the internet.

@E.M. Davis. Thanks for the lists. Wednesday and Thursday are lustreless days without any kind of brand awareness. Neither day has inspired a great song. They don't even have their own color. How about Fuchsia Wednesday. That would be a good name for a song. Nobody knows what the color fuchsia is, but it sounds kind of sexy.

Dust Bunny Queen ayon kay ...

Sunday

Whiskey on a Sunday

Sunday Bloody Sunday

@William:

Kramer: What's today?

Newman: It's Thursday.

Kramer: Really? Feels like Tuesday.

Newman: Tuesday has no feel. Monday has a feel, Friday has a feel, Sunday has a feel....

Kramer: I feel Tuesday and Wednesday...

"Never on a Sunday" hit every day of the week.

urpower ayon kay ...

The title "Thursday's Child" is pretty common- recently a song by Bowie- based on the nursery rhyme "Monday's Child". "Thursday's child has far to go" is an image of the wanderer or quester. Bowie was born on Wednesday.

The movie "Gloomy Sunday" was excellent.

Roy-

I was using song titles rather than lyrics, but you may well be correct that Friday is most popular.

Issob Morocco ayon kay ...

Tuesday's Gone With The Wind;

Joseph ayon kay ...

Never on a Sunday.

Astro ayon kay ...

This has inspired me to write a love song called 'Thursdays in Omaha'. It's almost done. I just need a couple words that rhyme with orange and silver.

Popville ayon kay ...

Ann warns, "No way it's Thursday.", and despite to Roy's lyric counts, Thursday must the the least sung about day.

That said, there's a tune that stands high above the rest, and that's To Claudia On Thursday" the opening cut from Begin, the only lp from the insanely great, criminally unheralded Millennium. One of the all time great pop albums, circa 1968.

Mr. Forward ayon kay ...

Obviously it's Someday
And I will get around to proving that
Someday.

Veronica ayon kay ...

I love that one Clyde!
