| | I Don't Like Mondays Lyrics Artist(Band):Boomtown Rats
Gets switched to overload And nobody’s gonna go to school today She’s gonna make them stay at home And daddy doesn’t understand it He always said she was good as gold And he can see no reasons 'Cos there are no reasons What reason do you need to be show-ow-ow-ow-own? Tell me why I don’t like Mondays Tell me why I don’t like Mondays Tell me why I don’t like Mondays I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down The Telex machine is kept so clean And it types to a waiting world And mother feels so shocked Father’s world is rocked And their thoughts turn to their own little girl Sweet 16 ain’t that peachy keen Now that ain’t so neat to admit defeat They can see no reasons 'Cos there are no reasons What reasons do you need? Oh Oh Oh Oh Tell me why I don’t like Mondays Tell me why I don’t like Mondays Tell me why I don’t like Mondays I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down And all the playing's stopped in the playground now She wants to play with the toys a while And school's out early and soon we'll be learning And the lesson today is how to die And then the bullhorn crackles And the captain tackles (With the problems of the how's and why's) And he can see no reasons 'Cos there are no reasons What reason do you need to die, die? Oh Oh Oh Tell me why I don’t like Mondays Tell me why I don’t like Mondays Tell me why I don’t like I don’t like (Tell me why) I don’t like Mondays Tell me why I don’t like I don’t like (Tell me why) I don’t like Mondays Tell me why I don't like Mondays I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down If you find some error in I Don't Like Mondays Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about I Don't Like Mondays A very good song! | Reviewer: Trine | 4/28/09 I thinnk this song is very good. It does not encourage people to pick up a gun and start shooting because they don't like mondays. Instead they describe how very wrong it is to do so, as the song becomes kind of ironic with it's happy melody but depressing lyrics. Modays...please don't liven them that way! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/24/09 I know the reason behind the song. I think that this song is not in bad taste, the Boomtown Rats were just trying to make the best ofa bad situation. And it's a catchy song. My dad loves the boomtown rats, and I heard this song with him. He didn't tell me about the story, so I looked it up. Brenda Ann Spencr was a sick person. But kids shouldn't be forbidden to listen to this song. It's a great song A friend of mine was singing this at my high school and she was sent to the princ. office! I don't thinkthat's right. It's a SONG, dang it! JUst be sure | Reviewer: taylor c | 4/6/09 Make sure you dont sing this song outloud in my neighborhood, everyone still remembers what that crackhead did to that school just down the street. But you have to admit it is a catchy song. When I was at Junior H I was singing this song and I got sent to the schools version of a psych ward. It's just a damn song! greeeeeeeeat song! | Reviewer: Ryan | 2/20/09 omfg great song. i play piano and my prents wouldnt let meh learn it... so i looked up the story behind da song and makes it 100 times more a better song! not because 2 ppl wer killed but because it's a song with a meaning, a point, and hella great story behind it! i luuuv it sooo much. beautifully written too! ill just learn it behind their backs I dont like mondays either haylay | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/25/08 O my gosh i love this song! I first heard it on vh1 and then my dad said he had the record of it and ive been playin that sucker like crazy! I love the piano in this song. I play piano and i really like how its accented in this song. I found the lyrics interesting and fun to sing. how this song came to be. | Reviewer: Chadlee | 10/26/08 I like this song it really good, The song was wrote after a 16 year old girl Brenda Ann Spencer started shooting at children in school playgound in San Diego, She had 8 kids and a police officer and also she had killed two adults, I think she must have been really sick because she showed no remorse for the crime that she did. And her only explanation for it was "I don't like Mondays, this livens up the day" More info | Reviewer: Eve | 9/12/08 I first knew about this song when my father started singing it one day. He told me what is was about and I looked it up. There is a whole article about it on Snopes.com. I like the song and the meaning behind it didn't spoil the song. what did boom town rats think about the incident? | Reviewer: welliesNZ | 7/1/08 Hi i am researching this song, and i would like to know what views Boomtown Rats had with the incident, what did they think about Brenda Ann Spencer? and how did this incident effect them, like what kind of messages are they trying to portray, if someone could reply that would be fantastic! i love mondays. | Reviewer: harleigh | 3/24/08 this song's meaning is actually what attracted me to it in the first place. me and my dad have pretty much the same taste in music so when he first told me about this song i was interested but once he told me of it's meaning, i had to hear it. a lot of people say the meaning ruined the song for them, but it makes it for me. i love this song. correct info | Reviewer: scott emery | 1/29/08 this is what wikipieda says on the subject if you dont belive type this link into your address bar "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenda_Ann_Spencer" Brenda Ann Spencer (April 3, 1962) is a convicted American murderer who carried out a shooting spree at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California on January 29, 1979. Principal Burton Wragg and head custodian Mike Suchar were killed in the attack, while eight children and a police officer sustained wounds. The school was across the street from her house. She used the rifle she had recently been given for Christmas by her father. When the six-hour incident ended and she was asked who she wanted to shoot, she said, "I like red and blue jackets". When they asked why, she shrugged and replied, "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day."[1] She also said: "I had no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun." "It was just like shooting ducks in a pond." and "[The children] looked like a herd of cows standing around; it was really easy pickings." She pled guilty to two counts of murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and was sentenced to prison for 25 years to life, currently being served at The California Institution for Women in Corona.[1] She has been eligible for parole four times and has been turned down each time, most recently in 2005. She will be eligible for parole again in 2009. In 2005, she claimed that she was drunk and under the influence of PCP, and that her father, Wallace Spencer, had sexually abused her as a child (a claim she did not make during the earlier years of her incarceration) and that the state and her attorney conspired to hide her drug test results. Spencer's crime, lack of remorse, and inability to provide a serious explanation for her actions when captured inspired the song "I Don't Like Mondays" by The Boomtown Rats, written by musician Bob Geldof. Her quote "I don't like Mondays" also appears written on a wall in the 1985 movie The Breakfast Club. thankyou I have also read a book on the subject so i do know more info if needed Review By Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 Review the song I Don't Like Mondays The area is only for review, if you want to submit the lyrics or the corrections of the lyrics, please click the link at the end of the lyrics.
