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.
Saturday is named for the planet Saturn. According to the nursery rhyme “Monday’s Child,” Saturday’s child “works hard for a living.” And many who work hard for their living love to play hard on Saturday. Elton John’s anthem to Saturday night still packs a punch.
What's your favourite day of the week in song? Let us know in the comments.
