So, after Monday's edition of a playlist for every day of the week, we move logically onto Tuesday. According to Wikipedia, the free online encyclopaedia, Tuesday's name "comes from Middle English Tiwesday, from Old English Tiwes dæg, named after the Nordic god Tyr, who was the approximate equivalent of the Roman war god Mars." Etymology, so.

But apart from being named after a Nordic god nobody has ever heard of, what does Tuesday have going for it? Not a lot it seems. Probably the worst day of the week. At least after Wednesday is done you're over half-way through the working week. After Tuesday you're still staring into the middle of a gigantic black and bleak void.

Nevertheless, there is a sizable amount of songs either about Tuesday, or containing the day of the week in the title. Then there's the "see you next Tuesday" element, reflected here at the end with Anal Cunt and Peter Cook and Dudley Moore.

DiScuss: Is Tuesday the worst day of the week? Is Ruby Tuesday actually a good song? Derek & Clive are funny fuckers aren't they? Anything not on here you'd have liked to have seen? Wednesday requests?
