Six o'clock already I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin' Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
And I can't be late 'cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

Got to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane, I still couldn't make it on time
Because it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train but the boss is already there

Oh, it's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

All of my nights why did my lover
Have to pick last night to get down
(Last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter that I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down

He said to me in his quiet riot voice
"Come on, feel the noise"
Time, it goes so fast
(When you're having fun)

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

(I wish it was Sunday)
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday
My, I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday

    this cover appeared on the Punk Goes 80's compilation. In all seriousness, this song was one of the best off the album. Good work by the Relient boys.

    Actually, it's not "He tells me in his bedroom voice, C'mon honey, let's go make some noise" it's "He says to me in his Quiet Riot voice, come on feel the noise," Quiet Riot did the song called Cum On Feel The Noize. I love this cover(:

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
