例休周日、周一，所以每周二就是我的「周一」。

「I don't like Monday」其實是一首很悲哀、也很具爭議性的歌，講述一名住在聖地牙哥的16歲女孩Brenda Ann Spencer，在1979年1月29日，忽然拿著聖誕節得到的新禮物：一把來福槍，對著住家對面的小學濫射，造成二死八傷。

判刑時，法官問她為什麼要開槍，她只簡單的回答：「I don't like Mondays.」

著名英國歌手Bob Geldof 在電報上讀到這則新聞，有感而發作了這首歌曲，一炮而紅，連續四周是英國熱門歌曲排行榜冠軍，但同時也受到許多人批評、抵制。在美國更是連排行榜前50名都沒有進入，不過，許多電台喜歡在星期一播放這首歌曲。

Brenda Ann Spencer 可說是美國校園濫射的開啟人之一，至今仍住在加州女子監獄。

至於我，只是單純的喜歡這首曲子，無關信念，也無關我每周二不想上班。




I Don't Like Mondays  
The Boomtown Rats

The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's going to make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was as good as gold
And he can see no reason
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown

Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down

The telex machine is kept so clean
As it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown

Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down

All the playings stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain crackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die

The silicon chip ...

Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
