7 songs

Still thinking about the "Month Mix", but I'd like to introduce you to the "Pretty Strong Week Mix". Haha. Get it? Okay.

Thanks everyone for providing ideas. Feel free to still contribute in the comments. I think I changed the settings correctly so now I think anyone can post without a problem. I'm hoping the linking to the songs works and they'll open up in your media player okay (crossing fingers), I'm trying some new stuff here. The Tori Amos link is to a YouTube video since I don't have it as an MP3 to link.

Track 1- Sunday Sun, Beck.
Track 2- Manic Monday, Reliant K (cover)
Track 3- Ruby Tuesday, The Rolling Stones
Track 4- Wednesday, Tori Amos
Track 5- Thursday's Child, David Bowie
Track 6- Pizza Day, The Aquabats
Track 7- Saturday Night's Alright for Fightin', Elton John

I know Pizza Day is the only one that doesn't have the actual day of the week in the title, so I almost didn't go with it. But I did because (A) The Aquabats are awesome, (B) I wanted this mix to be fun, and (C) IT'S THE BEST DAY OF THE WEEK!

  1. I thought of, and then forgot, 'Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting', I think (unless I suggested it, then I suggested, and then forgot). I don't know the Tori Amos song 'Wednesday'; weird.

  2. I just came across Wednesday last night and liked it better than the Mike Doughty song I was going to use.

  3. how about a time of day mix... off the top of my head there's that lame matchbox 20 "3am" song. there's an elliott smith one, "2:45 in the morning" it think it's called, and there's a spoon song "10:20 am." hmmm... there's that "after midnight we're gonna let it all hang out" song. there's gotta be a few songs about midnight or noon too.

  4. Way to contribute to the madness, C.J. "12:51" by the Strokes is one of my favorites.

    Side note- as I was linking the Saturday Night Elton John song I got the National American University song in my head. "One day, one night, Saturday's alright..."

  5. Roger Waters' 'The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking's songs are all named after times of the day, and it's a good album.

    Oh, and The Who covered 'Saturday Night's Alright' on their boxed set.

  6. ooh, 12:51, good one, B. maybe we should take it the other way... are there any good mesozoic era songs?

  7. Jonathan Richman's "I'm a Little Dinosaur", the theme songs to "Flintstones" and "Denver, the Last Dinosaur". Okay, I'm done with this now... maybe.
