Hear This..."Hooray For Tuesday" The Mantles

      To anyone who did not already know, Tuesday has been scientifically proven to be the worst day of the week. [SOURCE]  That's especially bad news for those of you who thought the worst was over when Monday ended.  Well according to science, its not; and everyone knows you can't argue with science.  But like every other week, we will prevail, but not without the help from such courageous pizza corporations like Pizza Hut and Dominos offering us reasons to look forward to the dreaded day.  [Pizza Hut has two Tuesday specials actually, here's the second.]  College basketball keeps fans distracted during the season with games every week on recurring 'Super Tuesdays.'  And then of course, there's the real Super Tuesday- that one political thing with all the primary presidential elections that most young people completely forgot to tune in to.  Because unlike the Dominos deal, that's only once every four years.

So to keep up with the recent attempts to resurrecting Tuesdays, I'm reaching all the way back to 1998 to share with you the unofficial celebratory anthem of Tuesday by the Denver-based band The Minders.

      "Hooray For Tuesday" is a proclamation of praise for everyone's most hated weekday.  Sure anyone can make a song about how great Friday is (anyone...), but it takes a little more skill to excite people about a Tuesday.  They do a convincing job on it too.  The confident opening horns and drum sequence give me a sense of hope that what they are telling me is true by law.  And what they say is exactly what everyone wants to do on a Tuesday- leave the mundane monotony of their cubicles (especially these people).  The weekend is an eternity away and who wouldn't mind waiting it out in the unadorned paradise they sing of.

      But then again, if you're not going away and you're not about to sit down and watch a college basketball game with the Tuesday pizza deal of your choice, then what do you have to hooray about?  We're probably all in the same boat at this time of the year, punching it out on this very average Tuesday.  So take a moment and share the splendor of Tuesdays, if its only for a few minutes.
