 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- 'Mondays' took on a new meaning
But Geldof maintains that the song's lyrics took on an entirely different – and far more profound – meaning when he performed "I Don't Like Mondays" in London at 1985's Live Aid benefit concert and at this summer's Live 8.
That resonance can be heard on the newly released "Live 8," a four-DVD set that includes Geldof's impromptu version of "I Don't Like Mondays," along with songs by all of the artists who performed July 2 in London's Hyde Park and the same day in front of Philadelphia's Museum of Art.
The song was inspired by San Diego's Brenda Spencer, who infamously said that she didn't like Mondays when asked what prompted her to shoot and kill two people and wound nine others in 1979 at Cleveland Elementary School in San Carlos.

 The Boomtown Rats
Their 1978 single Rat Trap and 1979's I Don't Like Mondays both charted at #1 (I Don't Like Mondays would become a controversial minor U.S. hit as the song was somewhat based on an incident involving the sensless random shooting of a 17 year old girl in San Diego California).
Geldof and The Boomtown Rats would play host to 1985's Live Aid which included performances by David Bowie, U2, Duran Duran, Led Zeppelin (with Phil Collins and Tony Thompson on drums), Queen and Madonna - to name a few, with all proceeds going to world hunger.
Formed in 1975 Dun Laoghaire Ireland as The Nightlife Thugs, the group would change their name to The Boomtown Rats and relocate to London in '76.

 The History of Rock Music. Boomtown Rats: biography, discography, reviews, links
Geldolf's real personality, the one of the philosophical and melodic crooner, had the better of The Fine Art of Surfacing (Columbia, 1979), with I Don't Like Mondays (a martial and orchestral ballad), When The Night Comes and Somebody Is Looking For You.
la vera personalita` di Geldof, quella del "crooner" melodico e filosofico, prese il sopravvento su The Fine Art Of Surfacing (Columbia, 1979), con I Don't Like Mondays (una ballata marziale e orchestrale), When The Night Comes e Someone's Looking At You.
The exotic touch of Mondo Bongo made the music even softer then the group's softest music, as much as in the polemic reggae of Banana Republic as in the soul record Up All Night.

There are lots of little musical anthropological details to be discovered in this remarkably well-shot and preserved concert footage of a punk-influenced pop band that was just about to hit its peak (unfortunately, this show is pre-I Don't Like Mondays, which wasn't released until 1979).
My favourite song is "I don't Like Mondays" but is not on the DVD because it was before 1979.
Sir Bob Geldof has done so much for Africa with this years Live 8 shows that was the best televised concert that I have ever watched in my life.

Nevertheless, I'm shocked when a piece of pop like this disappears from the cultural consciousness.

 Kirsty MacColl: Connections
I Don't Like Mondays was the big one for the Boomtown Rats and their second number one hit in the UK.
This record was subjected to an unofficial ban by most US radio stations, who were wary of legal action from the parents of a schoolgirl (Brenda Spencer from San Diego) who shot her classmates 29th January 1979, explaining her reason as she didn't like Mondays.
In 1981 Belmont was part of a short lived outfit with Nick Lowe called Chaps which also featured Carrack, who of course spread his talents around the likes of Ace, Squeeze, The Frankie Miller Band, Roxy Music, Mike and The Mechanics, The Undertones, The Smiths and The Pretenders.

 TrouserPress.com :: Happy Mondays
Because of the growing separation between Ryder and the rest of the Mondays, the record often feels like a document of a band at odds with itself — the sprightly dance tracks clash with Shaun's deeply bent mindfuck wordiness.
In addition, "Holiday" is a mordantly funny memoir of the Mondays' adventures ("I'm here to harass you/I want your pills and your grass you/You don't look first class you/Let me look up your ass you"), not to mention a hilarious riff on the importance of oversize trousers ("Loose Fit").
Producer Martin Hannett (the Factory legend, thanks to his work with Joy Division, who died of a heart attack in 1991) was brought in to spin the dials on the livelier Bummed, where the Mondays' lysergic electro-funk began to resemble the residual vibrations of a painfully bad trip.
