I Don't Like Mondays - Boomtown Rats

 
 
Today is Monday and the Boomtown Rats don't like Mondays.  The Boomtown Rats were an Irish band that was active between 1975 and 1986.  However, they have recently reformed and are due to play the Isle of Wight Festival this year. 
 
'I Don't Like Mondays' was released in 1979.  The song is about 16 year old Brenda Ann Spencer who fired at school children in a playground in San Diego, California on 29 January 1979.  She killed two adults and injured eight children and a police officer.   When asked why she had done it she simply replied "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day".
