Fats Domino - Blue Monday (Live From Austin TX)

I mentioned in another Post that today was a real Blue Monday for me... I could not seem to get out of a rut and get moving!!! A host of Networking issues plagued me for about 4-hours involving my wife's laptop and her printer, and my laptop, which I use to troubleshoot Comcast Cable issues as well as my internal network issues... I am still missing something I overlooked, but as yet I don't have it nailed down yet... My wife still can't access her WIFI printer, but she can access my printer... I can access my printer, but I cannot see her printer on my Linksys 8300 software application... The joys of modern technology! LOL! I'll get it resolved, I am sure, but I am frustrated beyond belief...

Anyway here is a Music Interlude song by the late Fats Domino titled - Blue Monday, a song released and sung by Fats Domino way back in 1956...

More background:
"Blue Monday" is a song originally, written by Dave Bartholomew, first recorded in 1953 by Smiley Lewis and issued as a single, in January 1954, on Imperial Records (catalog # 5268). The single, with a slow-rocking beat, features an instrumental electric guitar solo by Lewis.

It was later popularized in a recording by Fats Domino in 1956, also on Imperial (catalog # 5417), on which the songwriting credit was shared between him and Bartholomew. Most later versions have credited Bartholomew and Domino as co-writers. The baritone saxophone solo is by Herbert Hardesty.

Domino's version was featured in the 1956 film The Girl Can't Help It. It became one of the earliest rhythm and blues songs to make the Billboard charts, peaking at number five and reaching the number one spot on the R&B Best Sellers chart. The single reached number 23 on the UK Singles Chart It was included on the 1957 Liberty album This Is Fats and the 1959 Liberty album Fats Domino Sings 12,000,000 Records.

The song title was used for a 2006 biography of Domino by Rick Coleman.

LYRICS:

"Blue Monday"

Blue Monday how I hate Blue Monday
Got to work like a slave all day
Here come Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired got no time to play

Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard workin' day
And Friday I get my pay

Saturday mornin', oh Saturday mornin'
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stand to play

Sunday mornin' my head is bad
But it's worth it for the time that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess

Saturday mornin', oh Saturday mornin'
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stand to play

Sunday mornin' my head is bad
But it's worth it for the time that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
Cause Monday is a mess
