Best Days of The Week Songs- #9

Tweet

Here is another additon of my favorite songs celebrating the days of the week and the artists who recorded them. See if you can name these song titles. The songs have the day Sunday as part of their title! To introduce this lazy day most of us look forward to after a hectic work week is a video by the Moody Blues that captures perfectly the contentment of a Sunday afternoon. Enjoy the great harmonies on this live video before pondering those clues... And now Whodunnit? Do you know these songs and artists? 1. This American 1960s sunshine pop band was known for its vocal harmonies. This Sunday tune was the band's biggest hit selling one million copies. The group had a short tenure from 1966-69 disbanding after the death of their lead guitarist due allegedly to an attack of bronchial pneumonia. This song has a very joyful and upbeat melody, but the lyrics tell the story of the singer losing her man and being left with just memories of walks in the park on Sundays. The female lead singer had a stint as a replacement for Cass Elliot of the Mamas and The Papas. Fun fact: the band derived it's name from the Hal Roach Little Rascals TV series. 2. This group is an American rock and pop band originally active between 1966 and 1971. The members were actor/musicians who were selected for a popular TV show about a fictional band. One of the musicians in the group wrote a popular song "Different Drum," recorded by The Stone Ponies (Linda Ronstadt), before Ronstadt went on to a very successful solo career. This trivia song was written by Gerry Goffin and Carole KIng for the band. The tune is about a street in West Orange, New Jersey, where they lived at the time. The song is an ode to the simple life in happy suburbia, celebrating lawn moving, TV watching, and gardening roses on a peaceful Sunday. Bonus: This English musician and singer-songwriter had most of his chart sucess in the late 70's and early 80's. He had a number of new wave singles before he moved onto more jazz-inflected pop music. This tune was off the artist's debut album and the song's lyrics were a denunciation of the UK press and their sensationalistic news stories. His song message condemed the newspapers basically saying to not believe everything you read. The artist had numerous battles and sharp words for the press who often categorized him as a New Wave musician, which offended him. Ok, time to make it your "lucky day" and solve those songs and artists... If your stuck and need additional help just let me know in your response. "Reach Out and I'll Be There" if more clues are needed. As always, thanks for reading and responding to my music post !!!! Source- Wikipedia & songfacts.com Photo- whatthefaculty.com
