Top 15 'Monday to Sunday' Songs

As a parent of three young children, the distinction between weekdays and weekends that once punctuated my life isn't so relevant any more. Sure, I generally don’t go into work on weekends, but instead I'm swamped by the demands of a trio of little princesses, and putting out spot fires such as who has control over over the iPad, which Shopkins belong to whom, and encountering meltdowns over the most trivial of things, like the Freddo Frogs I bought home as a treat.
"Mine is too big!" Avie, the four-year-old middle child, wails.
Beautiful stuff.
In TDBK – The Days Before Kids – each day of the week had a specific feel; the wincing and wallowing of Monday and Tuesday; the speed bumps and pub trivia of Wednesday; the getting-there anticipation of Thursday; before Friday and Saturday bestowed the fallacy of freedom.
Sunday has always been a different beast. It's a day of merriment for settled souls; for those with only themselves to look after, it's often a default of headaches and grey skies. Reality invariably bites on a the last day of the week; no wonder there have been so many memorable songs written about Sunday.
