There *ARE* Thursday songs.. (UPDATED)

Posted by Paulie at 12:00 PM on October 10, 2000.

*UPDATE* Just for the record - my dad is a jerk. The song is Monday, Monday, by the Mamas and the Papas.. Of course, someone of my tender age was easily fooled by a wizened old man.. It was only his arcane knowledge that let him pull the wool over my eyes with this ancient song. Now, you may all laugh at me, or take pity for me being deceived by the old codger..

THURSDAY, THURSDAY (by Mamas & Papas)
Thursday, Thursday, so good to me
Thursday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Thursday mornin',
Thursday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Thursday evenin' you would still be here with me
Thursday, Thursday, can't trust that day
Thursday, Thursday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Thursday mornin' you gave me no warnin' of what was to be
Oh Thursday, Thursday, how could you leave and not take me
Every other day, (every other day)
Every other day of the week is fine, (yeah)
But whenever Thursday comes, (but whenever Thursday comes)
A-you can find me cryin' all of the time
Thursday, Thursday, so good to me
Thursday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
But Thursday mornin', Thursday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Thursday evenin' you would still be here with me
Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Thursday comes, but whenever Thursday comes
A-you can find me cryin' all of the time
Thursday, Thursday, can't trust that day
Thursday, Thursday, it just turns out that way
Oh Thursday, Thursday, won't go away
Thursday, Thursday, it's here to stay
Oh Thursday, Thursday Oh Thursday, Thursday

I know the song well (being 51). Well, the "Monday" version. The "Thursday" version is a new twist. I suppose dad edited that song for you before sharing it with you, eh? He might have even sang it for you with a straight face, hmmm?

Have a heart though, just think of the millions of things you talk about that dad doesn't have a CLUE about! Besides, paybacks are fun. Let us know what you scheme up to retaliate. ;-)

I am 54 and the above two comments are really funny !!
