FRIDAY

Yeah, you all know what I'm talking about. It's Friday. You know how I know what day it is? Because Rebecca Black told me so! Okay, so this is totally cliche but I thought it was worth a mention seeing that its trending harder than Japan on twitter. For real. What is wrong with our world?

BUT, I did do a search on songs that have to do with Friday, or just days in general. What is there to talk about when it comes to days of the weeks besides "today it is Friday, tomorrow it is Saturday, and Sunday comes after wards?"

We will see.

Mostly what I have gathered from analyzing the lyrics from a variety of artists including our Rebecca Black is that there is something special about Friday, and there's also something special about the sequential nature of how our calendar runs. Just to throw our favorite 13 year old a bone, I think the point of spelling out what days are included in the weekend and what order they occur in, is to highlight just how quickly the days pass and especially how quickly the splendid day of Friday passes as well. So she's not poetic. Really, really, not poetic. But the concept isn't new. Check these out:

The Cure
"Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate..."

Or The Easy Beats
"Wednesday just won't go
Thursday goes too slow
I've got Friday on my mind"

Or S Club 7?
"Monday, Tuesday come and go
Wednesday, Thursday sometimes slow
Then Friday comes just like a dream"

Definitely better than Black's blatant stating of facts, but all the same patterns!
Furthermore, all of these lyrics tend to emphasize the personas that our society have assigned to them.

Click Five says, "Manic Mondays singing you to sleep" while The Cure says, "I don't care if Monday's blue"and the Easybeats say "Monday morning feels so bad. Everybody seems to nag me"

Friday's persona is well known. Katy Perry says,
"Last Friday night
Yeah we danced on table tops
And we took too many shots
Think we kissed but I forgot"

Lilly Allen says
"Friday night last orders at the pub,
Get in the car and drive to the club"

 Even tween, Rebecca Black refers to Fridays when she "sings":
"PARTY AND PARTY AND YEAH!" about 30 times in a row.

So, basically, this is what we learn from these revolutionary artists: Fridays are for partying, Mondays are for the blues. We can fill in from there.

Personally, I think that no one should write a song about a day of the week because your content options are extremely limited. Unless a significant event happened on that day and you're not actually writing about the day itself...steer clear. You probably shouldn't write songs if that's the extent of your imagination for song writing. Harsh? Probably. Sorry.
