If you notice I've missed anyone please tag them 😊

You certainly can, @Daffodil1967

Is it Days of the Week ?

Yes, it is. Now you have to correct identify the 5 remaining songs and 6 remaining artists!

@TwigTheWonderKid

Your third one is Wednesday week. So funny as I was just about to do the same theme! At first glance I only recognised this and Ruby Tuesday though 🤔. I couldn’t get one for a Thursday so intrigued to see if you have one...

Oh, of course - Everyday is like Sunday is there too!

Friday on my Mind.

Don’t know what’s wrong with me...the same Friday song I’d chosen when I was going to do the same theme but didn’t recognise 🙄🙄

@TwigTheWonderKid - is the first one Blue Monday, New Order?

So that leaves Wednesday and Thursday.
I’ve no idea.
I should be working but keep popping back

The Wednesday one is Wednesday Week.

Should have said, Wednesday Week is the Undertones and Every Day is Like Sunday is Morrisey.

Here are some more on @TwigTheWonderKid‘s theme - no particular order.

60s
I need your love, babe
Guess you know it's true

90s
I fell through the window
And I found that I was still breathing
I thought of tomorrow
And the fear that you might leave me

80s
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round

60s
Ba-da ba-da-da-da
Ba-da ba-da-da-da
Ba-da ba-da-da-da

70s
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass

@FlouncingBabooshka
Ba-da ba-da ba-da
Blue Moon ?
Bobby Darin ?

Well done! Do you want a clue for Thursday?

@FlouncingBabooshka your first one is the Beatles Eight Days a Week and your last one is Elton John, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting

The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I can't understand

A few more same theme

Now I can't say my name and tell you where I am
I want to roll myself away
Don't know if I can
I wish I could be in some other time and place

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night to get down
Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us

All 1980s

@shinynewapple2020 your last two are Bloody Sunday by U2 and Manic Monday which was written by Prince for The Bangles.

If I’m right with “Blue Moon”
It’s by The Marcels, it just came to me

60s
Ba-da ba-da-da-da
Ba-da ba-da-da-da
Ba-da ba-da-da-da

Been niggling at me all afternoon, which is stupid as I nearly chose it as my Monday song! It's Mamas and Papas, Monday Monday.

@ThatLibraryMiss

That’s Reelin’ in the Years by Steely Dan.

Yes to The Beatles, Elton John and Mammas and the Papas @TwigTheWonderKid. (Sorry @Daffodil1967)

I don’t think I’ll get your Thursday one even with a clue Twig. I spent ages yesterday trying to think of a song with Thursday in the title!

Correct, @FlouncingBabooshka

@FlouncingBabooshka I think you need to be a die- hard Bowie fan to get it...

Hmm...I love Bowie but I’m not good on his later albums...is it from one of them?

It is...
