Cover art for Monday, Monday lyrics by Mamas & the Papas, The

I just saw a PBS special on the Mamas and the Papas. One of the band memebers (forget who) said that he still doesn't know what the song means, it just sounded cool, sothey went with it. And the begining harmonies are great. If I wanted to play English major and derive a meaning out if the song, I would say that it has to do with a brand new relationship, jsut like Monday is the start of a brand new week. You don't know what to expect, or if that person will stay around for a second date ("monday evening, will you still be with me ?"). Once you get past the awkward beginning, "every other day of the week is fine", and the relationship goes on with ease. And when you break up, and find yourself out on your own again, "you can find me cryin all the time." But since the band memebers don't know what it means, I guess that is all just B.S.
