Monday has more songs than other weekdays, fewer than weekends. Some suggestions for today:

Pure pop: Monday Monday by the Mamas & Papas

Also pure pop: Manic Monday by the Bangles

R&B: Blue Monday by Fats Domino

Blues: Stormy Monday by T-Bone Walker

Blues: Stormy Monday performed live by the Allman Brothers

Have to admit these songs all have a bit of—or a lot of—“Monday’s a mess” (Fats Domino). So to balance it out:

I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too
Thursday, I don’t care about you
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday, I’m in love

Friday I’m in Love by The Cure
