Bob G. then, emotionally struck by the event, on the spot at the radio station began writing the words and then polished it up later. An awesome song about a very sad, emotionally moving event. --- If you ever hear Geldof sing it on the "Secret Policemen's Ball" album, solo on his piano --- it is an amazingly emotional song. Geldof gets close to be choked up when performing it live on the album. His grief is evident. I don't like many days ... | Reviewer: Trae K | 12/14/07 I love to listen to this song. Yes, I am aware of the circumstances that led to it. For further "accurate" information on this or almost anything, check wikipedia.org Anyways ... I think I like it so much because it speaks to that darker side that we all have ... and NO! I do NOT want to murder small children in a playground, but I must admit, I have met a few people in my life that had I had a gun in my hand at the time that they upset me so badly, it would have been bad. I guess that goes to show that new gun laws are not at all a bad thing. She does speak of the DAY OF THE WEEK btw ... Cindy ... if ur bf told you that shit ... he's a blatant liar, sorry, but it's true. Why even guess when OMG! ... ur on the INTERNET!! ... use it and search google or wikipedia and find out for yourself the real truths about almost anything! STOP PROLIFERATING FALSE INFORMATION | Reviewer: rkeytek | 11/30/07 Cindy, I think you are lying. The shootings happened at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego. The shooter, Brenda Ann Spencer, was 16 and lived across the street. Assuming her 'ex-boyfriend' was of the same age, why would a 16 year old be attending that school. Also, during the 6 hour standoff with police she made several statements. The full quote to the one that is popularized in this song is, "I don't like Mondays, it lives up the day." As Peter pointed out on 9/5/2007, only 2 people were killed. To all the misguided people you have furthered false info, use the internet for good not evil. Research your facts and stop insulting this brilliant song. It is disturbing reflection of humanity and must be kept intact. True Meaning | Reviewer: Cindy | 11/28/07 It's a little known fact that when Brenda Spencer shrugged and offered "I don't like Mondays" as the reason she committed this crime, she actually meant "I don't like Mundays". This was the surname of her recently ex-boyfriend, and he and his younger (adopted) brother both went to that school - they were exchange students from Australia. She was trying to kill them because she thought that they were a pathetic waste of space - particularly the younger adopted brother. The family then moved back to Melbourne to avoid the publicity. I know this because I married the younger Munday. Whenever he hears this song, he assumes the foetal position and hides under the nearest table. mondays | Reviewer: peter | 11/21/07 i like this song but there is 1 reason of upset it reminds me of that 1 day in california then a 16 year old girl shot 69 people and police questioned her and all she said was "i dont like Mondays" so remember this is no ordinary song it has a meaning!!!! Re: THis song has a nice meaning | Reviewer: Karen | 11/19/07 RE:i loveeeeeee this song because it doesnt have swearing like other songs and it has a nice meaning... this song is the best song ever!!!! its soooo funny when the children say tell me why..hehe Obviously this poster is unaware that this song is about a 16 year old girl who shot at children on a school playground in Califonia. The 16 year had no remorse and when asked why she did it, she replied "I don't like Mondays" So this song as lively and energetic as it can make you feel on your commute to work Monday mornings has everything but a nice meaning. Love the song, but when I found out what it meant, it kinda spoiled it for me. The Youth of Today | Reviewer: Kyuuuute Grill | 10/31/07 "i loveeeeeee this song because it doesnt have swearing like other songs and it has a nice meaning... this song is the best song ever!!!! its soooo funny when the children say tell me why..hehe" LOL MOAR REASERCH PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111111111111111ELEVENTYONE good song | Reviewer: fcob@comcast.net | 10/31/07 remember to cherish your children and keep an open mind to their thoughts and feelings, you don't know when something like this will hit you community or another one. love your kids and listen to them. Documentary | Reviewer: Rico | 10/19/07 Sad but true. I grew up with several of the kids that got shot at Cleveland Elementary. I went to the same high school (Patrick Henry High) that Brenda Spencer went to and still live only blocks away from where the campus still stands. Friends still have the scars from where they got shot and the song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. I'd be interested to know what network the documentary aired on so I can check it out. Brenda comes up for parole every few years but she ain't never getting out for what she did to my friends. I hope my kids never have to experience anything like that in their entire life. the cause | Reviewer: Keiran smith | 10/8/07 The girl isn't the only one who deserves the blame, and not just her dad, what did she use to do this crime...a gun...how was it so easy to get a gun? If its this easy for a child to get a gun then i am delighted i don't live in a country ran by a man who lets this stuff ,sure in Scotland theres guns, yet, apart from pretty much police theres, not many cases of guns and shootings.
