Wednesday's Song
John Frusciante. The day sits in the title while the verses shift between private thought and a voice that reaches out. Pick it for a gentler middle-of-the-week track, with guitar and harmonies that grow without losing the feeling of a first take.

Thursday's Child
David Bowie. He took the title from Eartha Kitt’s autobiography, a book that stayed with him long after he first read it. Its weekday becomes a way into a slow, hopeful song about looking back and still having a chance to change course.

Thursday
Morphine. A pair meets weekly at a bar, which makes Thursday the word that tells you who has a routine to keep secret. The low bass and baritone sax keep the scene sounding close and private.

Thursday
Pet Shop Boys featuring Example. Thursday is the proposal to start the weekend early and keep it going. Neil Tennant’s measured delivery makes a nice companion to Example’s faster entrance, as if two people are hurrying toward the same night at different speeds.

Thursday
Jess Glynne. Thursday is the day she picks to give herself a break from wearing makeup. The direct vocal and uncluttered start make that small decision easy to hear. Try it for a weekday song about making a rule for yourself.

Thursday's Child
The Chameleons. Thursday is in the title while the singer looks back on youth. One guitar figure keeps returning as a second one makes the song open out. Put it beside David Bowie’s same-titled song to hear two different ways of looking back.

Thursday
Asobi Seksu. The title marks a day for a voice that seems to be recalling something from far away. Bright guitars and a strong drumbeat keep it moving even when the words seem to hang in the air. Play it for the shift from midweek quiet into noise.

Thursday's Child Has Far to Go
TOMORROW X TOGETHER. A line from the old days-of-birth rhyme points past a breakup toward everything the singer still has ahead. The bright synth-pop arrangement makes flight feel possible in the middle of the week.

Thursday
The Weeknd. Thursday is the one night the narrator sets aside for a relationship. The restrained drums and hazy backing make the rule feel especially chilly. It’s a Thursday song about someone deciding when a person can take up space in his life.

Friday I'm in Love
The Cure. It runs through the other days so Friday’s arrival can change the whole song. Listen for the guitars ringing through the refrain. It’s a good opening for the Friday stretch because the lead-up is almost as memorable as the release.

Friday On My Mind
The Easybeats. Monday is already a problem and the singer has to live through the rest of the workweek to get where he wants to be. The verses build pressure before the chorus lets him imagine what Friday night will feel like.

Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)
Katy Perry. Friday’s events are presented as things the singer has to work out afterward. The heavy pop chorus turns the confusion into something she’s already talking about doing again. Try it for a Friday told from the following morning.

Friday
Rebecca Black. The itinerary takes in breakfast, the bus stop, and the choice of a seat in a friend’s car. Put it next to the bigger Friday-night songs for a version of the same excitement that’s already impatient at the start of the day.

Black Friday
Steely Dan. The title suggests a financial crash and the narrator has plans to get far away. The groove feels composed even as the singer describes preparing for panic. Try it for a Friday with a very different reason to leave town.
More about Black Friday36
Friday Night
Lily Allen. Friday means a queue, a door policy, and a noisy room where people size each other up. The easygoing vocal makes those social calculations even funnier. Try it when you want the most recognizable part of the night to happen before anyone gets in.

Thank God It's Friday
Love & Kisses. The disco film’s title song builds anticipation around getting to the club on Friday. The chorus gives anybody arriving late an easy place to join in. Put it at the start of the night-out run.

Saturday Night
Bay City Rollers. The chant spells Saturday as if a whole room is supposed to join in, and the guitars leave room for it. Start Saturday here if the point of the playlist is to get people singing before they know all the words.

Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)
Elton John. Saturday night means a pub, a gang of friends, and trouble the narrator is looking for. The fast rock arrangement makes waiting for that night sound harder than going out in it.

Another Saturday Night
Sam Cooke. The singer has money from payday and nobody to spend the evening with. The buoyant rhythm makes the complaint sound open to a sudden change of luck. It’s a Saturday song for when other people seem further ahead with their plans.

Saturday in the Park
Chicago. A Saturday in a park brings together people playing, singing, and selling ice cream. The piano pulls listeners into the same sunny scene and the horns make the group feel bigger by the end.

Saturday Sun
Nick Drake. Saturday gets a little sunlight before the song has to reckon with Sunday. Choose it for a Saturday morning quiet enough that the piano, brushed drums, and vibraphone all get a little room.
