Are there any songs centered on Wednesday or Thursday?

Asked by LostInParadise (31917points) July 9th, 2023

There are songs for every other day of the week. The one I have in mind for Tuesday, Ruby Tuesday, is not specifically about the day Tuesday, but for the purposes of this question, it counts.

I could imagine a song for Wednesday, emphasizing its description of being “hump day”, although the name “Wednesday” doesn’t seem very melodious. Thursday might be a bit more difficult.

“Just another manic Thursday” doesn’t have the right ring!

Tthere is this song by the Fugs that mentions them along with the other days of the week. And has them in Yiddish too:

She’s Leaving Home starts as “Wednesday Morning at five o’clock…”

and Simon and Garfunkel sang about Wednesday Morning 3 A.M.

@janbb, I can think of other songs that mention all the days of the week, like the theme song from the television show Happy Days and the song Never on a Sunday

@zenvelo, I will give you the first one, even though Wednesday is just mentioned once, but I am not so sure about the second one, since Wednesday does not appear in the lyrics of the Simon and Garfunkel song.

Nothing here to fear
I’m just sitting around being foolish when there is work to be done
Just a hang-up call
And the quiet breathing of our Persian we call Cajun on a Wednesday
So we go from year to year with secrets we’ve been keeping
Though you say you’re not a Templar man
Seems as if we’re circling for very different reasons
But one day the Eagle has to land
Out past the fountain, a left by the station
I start the day in the usual way
Then think, well, why not, and stop for a coffee
And begin to recall things that you say
No one’s at the door
You suggest a ghost, perhaps a phantom, I agree with this in part
Something is with us
I can’t put my finger on, is Thumbelina size ten on a Wednesday
So we go from year to year with secrets we’ve been keeping
Though you say you’re not a Templar man
You tell me to cheer up, you suspect we’re oddly even
Even still the Eagle has to land
Out past the fountain, a left by the station
I start the day in the usual way
Then think, well, why not, and stop for a coffee
And begin to recall things that you say
Pluck up the courage and snap it’s gone again
I start humming when doves cry
Can someone help me, I think that I’l Lost here
Lost in a place called America
Tori Amos Wednesday

Didn’t Johnny Cash do a song about a Wednesday Car?

It is hard to think of Wednesday and Thursday songs. I can think of Monday and Saturday songs.

Thanks. That is a lot more than I had imagined there might be.
