I had my music on shuffle today and by coincidence it played Galaxie 500 4th of July and then The Clientele = Claire’s Not Real that has the line “on the 15th of August”. That got me wondering whether every date in the year is mentioned somewhere in a song.
A few other obvious ones:
June
3rd - Bobby Gentry - Ode to Billie Joe:
“It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day”
September
21st - Earth, Wind & Fire - September
“Do you remember, the 21st night of September?”
Feels like there could be a really nice mash-up track with the snippets of all the lyrics from the different songs in date order. I’d be all over this if I’d never become a parent and was independently wealthy.
