This week we’re highlighting a song for each day of the week – songs written about the Mondays to Sundays.
A day marks a spin of the earth. Twenty-four little hours, but each day of the week carries its own strong associations. Today’s TGIF – one of the best-known acronyms ever, Thank God It’s Friday. For devotees of the weekend, Friday is the weekday of greatest joy. The wait is almost over.
Friday is named for Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. The Cure scored a hit with a joyful song to love called “Friday I’m in Love.” The video captures the playful mood perfectly.
What's your favourite day of the week in song? Let us know in the comments.
