"I Don't Like Mondays"
Большой был хит в 79-м году. И до сих пор остаётся самой известной песней ирландской группы "Boomtown Rats". Песня про 16-летнюю девочку из Калифорнии, Бренду Энн Спенсер, которая из своего окна устроила стрельбу по школьному двору и всем, кто там был. Потом, когда её спросили, зачем она это сделала, она совершенно спокойно сказала: "Не люблю понедельники, а это разгоняет скуку" ("I don't like Mondays, that livens up the day"). Это был, кажется, один из первых таких случаев.
С тех пор, как известно, детки с ружьём в школах разных стран появлялись неоднократно и палили по кому придётся - то ли из-за обид каких, то ли просто так...
В клипе, впрочем, стрельбы нет - но песня отличная.

I Don't Like MondaysLyrics by Bob GeldofThe silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
Shes gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be show-ow-ow-ow-own?
Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
Tell me why
I dont like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down
The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Fathers world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen
Now that ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reasons do you need?
Oh Oh Oh Oh
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot
The whole day down, down, down, shoot it all down
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with the 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 tackles
(With the problems of the how's and why's)
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die?
Oh Oh Oh
And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
Shes gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be show-ow-ow-ow-own?
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like
I don't like (Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like
I don't like (Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oot the whole day down
