Can we put together a list of songs or acts that cover all 7 days of the week and all 12 months of the year? And what day / month will be the most re-occurring?
Starter for ten;
The Decemberists.
The Sundays,
The Happy Mondays,
The Saturdays,
"Friday I'm in Love" by the Cure,
"Sunday, Bloody Sunday" by U2,
"Monday, Monday" by the Mamas and the Papas,
"Winter in July" by Bomb the Bass,
"June on the West Coast" by Bright Eyes,
errrm....
That's all I can think of right now. Any advance?

Steve - I salute your full compliment of days of the week via song. Now can you do it using band names?
I've got to say, I'm struggling.
I think we can add in seasons to our list too, (this means "Winter in July" by Bomb the Bass, is now a double word score!).

Somewhere between "Yesterday" and "All Tomorrow's Parties" lies the answer.
Off the top of my head here are some ideas:
"January" - Pilot
"January, February" - Barbara Dickson
"They Marched in Line" - Joy Division
"April Skies" - Jesus & Mary Chain
"Auntie May" - Lieutenant Pigeon
"June it, june it, june it, june the Banana Splits show" - Banana Splits (OK I cheated)
If only that Eurythmics hit had been from the other POV, then I could have "Would July to me?"
There's an Augustus Gloop song in the original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. However, I can't spell Oompah-Loompah.
"September's not so far away" - classic by the Field Mice which comes into its own in mid-July
"October" - U2
In "I just called to say I love you" Stevie Wonder sings about many "No" items. Does he sing "No Vember in this song?"
"I wish it could be Christmas every December" - Wizzard.

Blur - Sunday Sunday
...and as an aside....
The Beatles - 8 days a week
