Welcome to the fifth podcast episode of The Theme Show.
This edition features songs that have the names of weekdays in the titles. Somewhere in the middle is a big ‘ole warp because I had no Tuesday or Wednesday songs, but hopefully you’ll enjoy it. For fun, I began and ended this set with the Monkees. Don’t know why, it was just a whim.
Cleaning up the website here in 2025, I feel like it might have been a missed opportunity to not use “Seasons of Love” from the musical RENT. But hey that’s always an option for a future list!
Please be aware that all MP3 files are potentially subject to takedown, and may be removed without notice.
Setlist:
- Pleasant Valley Sunday – The Monkees
- Everyday Is Like Sunday – Morrissey
- Someday – Aldo Nova* (2025 update: apparently this file was mislabeled so many years ago as “Sunday”, hence it’s inclusion here as a day of the week, but the correct song name is “Someday”).
