Days of the Week in Song Titles

Because I love music of the 60's up to the 80's especially folk, rock and country, I had fun collecting and grouping music into categories which I created like - Days of the Week Songs; Month's in a Year Songs or songs which have certain words in them like "dog" songs, "rain" songs, etc.

I started a thread on this in HP forum and I was amazed of the responses I received, so I created this hub.

This is my first hub about songs and in my next hubs I will be tackling songs into my own categories which I mentioned above.Visit too My Favorite Anti-War Songs.
