While it's an upbeat sounding song, aren't they talking about how Monday morning didn't prepare them for coming home to find their partner gone on Monday night?
Johnny Repine yup. Her name is Monday and it’s Monday morning and while he has fallen in Love with her she’s just used him as another weekend affair. And she’ll be perhaps leaving again. He never knows off she’s staying or just visiting. It’s a classic case of an unfortunate one-sided live affair. He/She loves Her/Him and yet the love isn’t returned - the other party is only in the relationship for the entertainment. Sad but often true in many wrong reason relationships.
It just blows my mind that their voices work SO well together, such an amazing sound and harmony... close my eyes, and lay back listening to it.. Just amazing... nothing else like it. Just wish I was around to enjoy it when it was 'happening'...
#virtual bird it was an awesome time to be sure. The only fear in life for a young person at that time was the draft and the Vietnam War. That’s what prompted a lot of this kind of action in true song. Young people often sought the wrong answers abs made the wrong choices rather than look for absolute values.
I remember one night in college, just over 10 years ago, I was at Waffle House just off campus. They still had a jukebox with 45s, so I popped some quarters in it. This was among the songs I chose. Y’all, the sound of this song from that 45 in Waffle House was magic. Lol
The crackle of that vinyl, the grease smudges everywhere, the aroma of hot coffee, eggs & flapjacks, waitresses tearing off the receipts from their pads, some old guy mumbling to himself while another is passed out. Filmmakers live for capturing those real life moments. Americana right there.

When I worked at Safeway, this song would play like 5 times a day. I hated it for so long, but now that Safeway is about 10 years behind me, this song reminds me of easier times.
If your time there was after Sobeys took over, you have my condolences. If before, you have may no idea how bad a store can be, 'cause Safeway was one of the good ones. ;)
This song is from way back in the days of good music. It's one of a kind song since it was recorded and hit the radio airwaves then. I just went down memory lane with it earlier this Monday morning.
One of the best groups of the sixties I always liked their songs. This one is special to me as I was twenty and studying in the University then. It brings to me so many remembrances of my student days and how I lived then whenever I hear it again. And reading the quotes above I find them rather amusing as it is great song which really has a message and hits the point.
When I used go to work I hate Mondays but I love this song ever since. Great tune though. Now I am retired from work, I never care what day it is. But I still dig this song. RIP Mama Cass.
As much as I can't say I've ever seen the Strip in the 60's or otherwise I did love 77 Sunset Strip w/ E. Burns & his Hair , Hot Rod & Girls ( Not necessarily in that order)
@@drewsagar2634 I have written to various people, like the free TV channels that play old shows, to ask them why can't they air reruns of 77 Sunset Strip? I'd much rather see a great show like 77 Sunset Strip than the worn out reruns of MASH. I have also suggested someone make a show or youtube video featuring the cars from 77 Sunset Strip. Ford sponsored the show, and a lot of new Fords and Mercurys showed up in the parking lot of Dino's lounge. Very rare car, which appeared at a Ford dealership in Omaha, Benson suburb. It was a full sized T Bird, probably a 60 - 64 model ? It was a dark pink, with two 427 engines. The car was made for Kookie, (Ed Burns), and was put on the circuit to Ford dealers to bring people into the showroom. One car on the circuit was an autonomous vehicle, hand grip steering wheel for when a driver was driving the car.
Monday morning is a beautiful time but it doesn’t promise that Monday evening will also be beautiful. In fact, in this song it turns bad because a lover leaves unexpectedly, without a warning. “Monday morning” could mean any beautiful time or circumstance. It is nice in the beginning but doesn’t warn us about the evening where a surprising disappointment may await us. This is why the group didn’t like this song: it is a sad premise that eerily prophesied their “Monday evening,” which would include tragedy. It resonates on deep levels with the human race that often sees unforeseen disappointments after a beautiful beginning. However, it is magical and memorable in its sound. It brings me back to my childhood in the 1960’s, my “Monday morning” that was so good to me.
Thank you for that lovely, sensitive analysis of John Phillips' lyrics. You imply that your "Monday Morning" - your childhood in the Sixties - has also led to unforeseen disappointments, and maybe even tragedies. I hope this has not been the case for you, my friend.
@@sunryse111 Yes, my life has seen some sobering moments that I didn't foresee as a child but God's blessing on my life has eclipsed any drama by far. It's all good and I'm immensely content and happy. It is well with my soul. Thank you.
Funny how some groups will have a hit, and really not like it. Barbra Ann by the Beach Boys is really a good song that the group didn't take very seriously, goofing their way through the song, but it still came out pretty good. I regret at how distasteful one M & P's appearances was, where Michelle Phillips held a banana during a song and would eat it. If they had a good manager, he should of told them how bad that looks. That video is on youtube. Monday Monday may be their greatest hit, basically simple but done so well.
I used to love this song! It reminded that America was still there as I was on my first tour in Vietnam! Little did I know I wouldn't return until 1968, haha!

Monday Monday is consider a not so good day for me. every time that Monday and that song that comes out, I've start singing it with tears rolling out of my eyes.

Yes.she was truly groovy and a kind, gentle, loving soul.r.i.p Cass, you are missed but never forgotten.
Actually Michelle is doing the high harmony on this song
I think this is their best song. The composition and harmonies are beautiful. It really moves me. And John Phillips' voice is fantastic.
