Early morning April 4...

[eviltwin]

I usually play day-related-songs whenever I remember, so today obviously started with Pride, I might play MLK later today.

New Year's Day is also a no-brainer.
TUF lends itself to August 6 or 9.

Does anybody else have this habit?
Any suggestion for other days?

I play October on 1 October.

lol i never understood this song... did MLK not die in the evening?

 

[eviltwin]

I think he got back from a very late meeting dealing with a garbage workers' strike, hence early morning. But I'll have a look to make certain.

(Edit, from
nobelprize.org

"On the evening of April 4, 1968, while standing on the balcony of his motel room in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a protest march in sympathy with striking garbage workers of that city, he was assassinated." )

from Wikipedia

"King was assassinated the next morning, April 4, 1968, on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, while preparing to lead a local march in support of the heavily-black Memphis sanitation workers' union. Friends inside the apartment heard the shot fired and ran to the balcony to find King shot in the jaw. He was pronounced dead several hours later."

So which is it?

 

[D'oh!]

Christmas (baby please come home), on Christmas eve and christmas day.

Dirty Day on a dirty day.

 

[miss becky]

New Year's Day on the holiday itself, of course
Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) pretty much throughout the month of December.
Tomorrow on the anniversary of someone close to me dying.
Heartland on a hot summer's day -- because I think of the part in Rattle and Hum when the song plays, how sunny it is.

April 4 is my birthday, so I can't hear this song without thinking about it

Martin Luther King was assasinated in the evening. Bono made a mistake. In some performances of the song, Bono changes the lyrics to: "Early evening, April 4..."

"You give yourself to this, the longest day"

Indian Summer Sky -- so would have to be June 21.

Or December 21 if you live in the Southern Hemisphere.

April 4 is my birthday, so I can't hear this song without thinking about it

Hey, happy birthday!

Maybe October, sometimes I may play it in Oct. Otherwise... nothing.

beautiful day on a beautiful day

Elvis Presley and America on the day he died...don't remember off the top of my head.

And using crossfading, I found out that Elvis Presley and America flows pretty well with COBL.

'come to think of it, UF is 50% "day-date" songs.

Thursday before Easter would be the day to play "Until the End of the World".
