Music Monday: Stumbled back to the 1960s for some good vibes
Posted By RichC on February 10, 2025
The Music Monday post was prepped prior to the Super Bowl ads … but after seeing this one, I had to include it (see tomorrow for Super Bowl post).
Too late … I’ve already started today’s Music Monday post and only then realized the song was also posted five years ago. 
But as I said then, it is impossible to resist eventually including a oldie called … wait for it, “Monday Monday” by The Mamas and The Papas from 1966.
“Likely I heard this on my mom’s AM radio station the first time, but obviously it is a classic so it is often played on every oldies stations” or in today’s case, a television bumper song last week. Enjoy!

Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Bah-da bah-da-da-daMonday, Monday, so good to me
Monday mornin’, it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday mornin’, Monday mornin’ couldn’t guarantee
That Monday evenin’ you would still be here with meMonday, Monday, can’t trust that day
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday mornin’ you gave me no warnin’ of what was to be
Oh Monday, Monday, how could you leave and not take meEvery other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
A-you can find me cryin’ all of the timeMonday, Monday, so good to me
Monday mornin’, it was all I hoped it would be
But Monday mornin’, Monday mornin’ couldn’t guarantee
That Monday evenin’ you would still be here with meEvery other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
A-you can find me cryin’ all of the timeMonday, Monday, can’t trust that day
Monday, Monday, it just turns out that way
Oh Monday, Monday, won’t go away
Monday, Monday, it’s here to stay
Oh Monday, Monday
