Let's start off this week with some music!

|
|
Sunday
From old English, meaning "Day of the Sun".
Band Names:
Inspired naming of bands such as The Sundays (actually maybe they were named after the ice cream treat?), Pale Sunday, and Sunday Morning.
Songs:
There are a ton of Sunday songs, probably some of the more famous songs are "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 and "Everyday is Like Sunday" by Morrissey.
I'm going to go with Of Montreal's "Everyday Feels Like Sunday", which at first I thought was a cover of Morrissey, but, in fact, is not.

Monday
From old English, meaning "Day of the Moon" (kind of an oxymoron if you ask me!)
Band Names:
The Happy Mondays, Monday Morning (NC band), and Monday Massacre (Screamo band)
Songs:
Some famous Mondays songs includes "I Don't Like Mondays" by the Boomtown Rats and "Monday Morning" by Fleetwood Mac and "Monday, Monday" by the Mammas and the Pappas.
I'm going to go with "Blue Monday" by New Order. It's a great song to start the week.

Tuesday
From old English, meaning "Tyr's day." (God of Combat)
Band Names:
Til Tuesday, The Real Tuesday Weld and Tuesday (From Austria)
Songs:
I don't have too many Tuesday song, the choices I have are Metallica's "Tuesday's Gone" and The Acid House Kings' "Mondays are like Tuesday" and The Moody Blues' "Tuesday Afternoon". Since I don't want to be sued by Lars, we're going to have to go with AHK. We've already mentioned AHK several times now.

Wednesday
From old English, meaning "day of Woden" (more commonly known as Odin in Norse mythology)
Band Names:
Wednesday 13 (goth/metal)
Songs:
Some Wednesday song by Tori Amos and I have several version of "Wednesday Morning, 3am" by Simon & Garfunkel. Tough choices, but I'm gong to go with the Undertones' "Wednesday Week".

Thursday
From old English, named after Thor (god of Thunder)
Band Names:
Not too many bands that I know of having the name of Thursday, this band is pretty popular: Thursday.
Songs:
Some "Thursday songs by Asobi Seksu, Cranes, and The Futureheads. I'm going to go to an 60s band called The Millenium with their song "To Claudia on Thursday".

Friday
From old English, named after Frige (German goddess of beauty). In Norse, it's Frigg and in Roman it's Venus (Spanish Friday is "Viernes" and French is "Vendredi", both named after Venus).
Band Names:
Radiohead's previous incarnation is called On a Friday, but otherwise, I don't really know any Friday-named band. I've settled for Friday Hill which is a UK pop group.
Songs:
Lily Allen has "Friday Night", while the more popular song is probably the Easybeat's "Friday on My Mind". However, the ultimate Friday song goes to the Cure: "Friday I'm in Love", their most poppiest song!

Saturday
From old English, named after Saturn, the God, not the car.
Band Names:
Saturday Looks Good to Me is really the only band that I know that has Saturday in their name.
Songs:
I have a ton of Saturday songs. Suede, Punky Brewsies, Killswitch, and Kaiser Chief both have "Saturday Night" song titles. Apparently this is the most popular day of the week, judging from song list.
I'll have to go with the classic "Drive In Saturday" by David Bowie.

|
|
BONUS: The Barenaked Ladies' & Shonen Knife's "One Week" (both different songs). The Young Knives' hilarious title of "Weekend & Bleakdays", which pretty much sums it up.
