By now, everyone has heard Rebecca Black's universally panned yet nevertheless very popular song "Friday" as well as the many spoofs on such song. I know, old news. I'm not going to be talking about that song, I believe that ship has sailed. But, one thing I've been thinking about is that this whole "I'm going to sing about a day of the week" thing isn't a new idea. Songs with days of the week in their titles have been around for decades now.
Let's take a look...

Jake would love your inclusion of Wednesday 13 on here lol. You did forget "Black Sunday" by Cold, "Good Friday" by The Black Crowes, "Saturday Night" by Eve 6 and "High 'N' Dry (Saturday Night)" by Def Leppard. Other than that there are some on here i never knew and this is a fantastic list, good job Tricia!
