Monday-themed Songs for Your Monday Wedding

Last Updated: July 7, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)

Monday is the second day of the calendar week and the first day of the workweek. Forget about the doldrums of Mondays and enjoy our list of Monday songs. Each song listed below has the word Monday in the song title.

You can celebrate Thank God It’s Monday Day on the first Monday in January.

Forget about Friday and Saturday! Mondays are stereotypically perceived as being, bad. They can be seen as stormy, blue, long, and manic.

It’s ironic how Mondays have also been presented the same way in popular songs. We mention Mondays across many different music styles including rock, country, folk, dance, and pop.
