So Robert Smith could say he didn't care if Monday's blue on Friday I'm In Love???

I'm sure that there was a slight bit of collusion on this one!!!

Of course, I also think that the CIA killed JFK, and that no man has ever really set foot on the moon!!!

Sunday, May 18th, 1980? Same day as Mt. St. Helens blew up. That's how I remember it.

Isn't Blue Monday also some sort of reference to drinking--like the first day back to work after a long "Irish" weekend? Maybe I'm thinking of something else....

the Monday before Lent, spent in dissipation, which is said to give everything a blue tinge...hence blue means tipsy...

ehm...I guess that's a stretch there...

Never heard the phrase "Monday Morning Blues"? first day back to work after the weekend is always crap. Fook all to do with a record title though! Just a typical NO title.

The line, "I walked down to the beach," was that referring to the club The Beach or a place with sand adjacent to a large body of water?
