This post was scheduled to post last Friday, but for whatever reason, WordPress failed me. And I didn’t realize it until now. So it’s late.

Blobby‘s month to pick the theme, and he chose days of the week. And made it tougher to boot: whatever day of the week you start with, you have to then go sequentially – so, if you start with a Tuesday, then your subsequent weeks have to be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Blobby started with The Cure’s “Friday I’m in Love”. I thought for a wee bit about whether I should be smart/evil and start with a Saturday song, so I could kill any possibility of song choice overlap. I wonder if he thought about that with this?

I went the evil route, because… me.

As my last was a Saturday song, this one is a Sunday song. There were, of course, a few obvious Sunday songs from the likes of U2, Blondie, Johnny Cash, and even Green Day. But I went a little farther back in time.

Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, I give you The Monkees 1967 “Pleasant Valley Sunday”:

I’m going the evil route, because… me. And I imagine this isn’t Blobby’s choice for a Saturday song anyway.

I give you Jimmy Buffett’s 1993 cover of Sam Cooke’s 1963 song “Another Saturday Night”:

And yes, I still consider myself a Parrothead.

My turn to pick the theme for the month. After two other… failed… suggestions, we agreed upon songs by Irish bands. Seems appropriate with it being March and all?

My selection of Irish bands this month was damned harder than I expected it to be. My apologies to Blobby. But this is the last entry at least.

I was going to go evil and do a Clannad / Enya mashup for my last one, but I’ll be nice. Instead, I’ll give you a work of art.

The Guggenheim Grotto’s 2005 song “Philosophia”:

My turn to pick the theme for the month. After two other… failed… suggestions, we agreed upon songs by Irish bands. Seems appropriate with it being March and all? But I think U2 should be left out. Since, well, U2.

I had zero idea this artist was Irish, and I’m not sure how I found out she was at all. Lucky for me she is, because my selection of Irish bands this month was damned harder than I expected it to be. My apologies to Blobby.

That said, I give you Imelda May’s 2010 rockabilly “Mayhem”:

And Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

This is one of those songs where I have zero idea where I heard it, but it stuck with me. And lucky for me, as they’re Irish!

I give you Kodaline’s 2013 song “All I Want”:

That’s obviously not the band’s video for the song. You can find that here… it’s… sappy.

Part 1:

Part 2, same song, but a continuation of the previous video:
