I Want to Shoot the Whole Day Down

Otherwise known as "how I stupidly make myself depressed".

Monday and I have had a very understanding relationship thus far, in which I ignore the stigma associated with it (by resenting Sunday nights), while Monday leaves me in peace. It has been a successful formula to date, with Monday being a very acceptable day as far as days go. No doubt things move in a whirr on Mondays and I always suddenly realise a million things that I had inconveniently forgotten about. So, when I heard the song "I don't like Mondays" this morning (I first heard it on Saturday evening with my sister and we both laughed when we heard it) I couldn't help but smile at the idea of shooting the whole day down.

However, a little keyboard hitting and a little research and reading in my 'procrastination time' led me to this site: http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=698. Definitely not something to smile about, though...

  1. I like that song by Boomtown Rats. The first time I heard that was a live version of Bob Geldof & Jon Bon Jovi singing it. Awesome!

  8. I stopped hating Mondays when I keep on working Sundays. It made Monday no difference. Haha.

    This was one of the songs I heard played around my childhood. I thought the lyrics were eccentric...til I found out it is a direct reference to something that happened! That gave the song a creepy feeling in my opinion. Now I can't listen to it without feeling a twinge of...horrible.
