Nobody likes Mondays. On Monday everything seems to be worse than during the rest of the week. Already getting up can be quite difficult on a Monday morning. To make this worst day of the week a little more pleasant, here a my favourite Monday songs for you.
I Don’t Like Mondays is actually from 1979, but like someone wisely said: „For a good song I’ll bend the rules.“ Besides, the song is even on one of my 80s samplers.
New Moon On Monday isn’t one of those typical „Mondays are so terrible“ songs. The cryptic Le Bon lyrics as usual leave a lot of space for interpretation. I really love the video, although the light sabers and that dancing stuff in the end are a bit odd. Teh 17 minutes short film version is even more funny. A shame I can’t show it to you.
After the death of singer Ian Curtis the members of Joy Division formed the group New Order. Blue Monday become their biggest hit.
And, of course, Manic Monday shouldn’t be missing in any list of Monday songs.
