No one likes a Wednesday. They’re tolerated at best. Neither loved nor hated they are just, well, Wednesdays. People write songs about the things they care about. Colours, moods, the seasons of the year, and even the days of the week. But nobody writes songs about Wednesdays. I wonder why?
Hmm - I'm Wednesday's child - "Full of woe" in the nursery rhyme! We were damned from the off - there's an old English poem which recounts how people believed anyone born on a Wednesday will have a life full of bad luck and trouble.
I like every day, they're all much the same, a dog walk, or coffee, or backgammon game, a wee bit of work on the ever-present Zoom, some weeding, some planting, some pushing the broom, a chat with the neighbours, the beach for a swim, a trip to the shops, give the jasmine a trim, read a book and my Listener and some on-line writing, an invite to dinner sounds very inviting, talk to my family and friends on the phone, plan some more travel - I'm never alone!
The Saturday songs made me think of Another Saturday Night.
I liked Ruby Tuesday too. The refrain at least- no clue what the rest was - Nor did I know it was the Rolling Stones. Beatles were better. Wednesday was half way to the weekend as workers from the 60s and before will remember

Anyway - Stones every time.
Don't forget Scaffold. They did mention Wednesday "Wednesday's Roast Beef" in their song 'Today's Monday' The song is up on YouTube :)
Lyrics:
Today's Sunday, today's Sunday, Sunday is church...
Saturday is payday
Friday is fish
Thursday is shephard's pie
Wednesday is roast beef
Tuesday is soup
Monday is washing day
Is everybody happy? You bet you life we aaaaare!
I quite like a good Wednesday, me.

Very enjoyable thank you!

"... Wednesday 's child is full of woe. ... " etc
Even that ancient poem was negative about Wednesday 😆
