Why won't anyone sing about the month of March?

And where is the love for hump day?

I just examined my music collection, looking for songs about each month of the year. Here are the results:

- January (2 song titles)
- February (2)
- March (0)
- April (5)
- May (2)
- June (3)
- July (4)
- August (1)
- September (6)
- October (4)
- November (4)
- December (6)

So, what inspires people to write songs about September and December, but not about March? I don't know. (Several song titles with "march" in them, but none of them meaning the month.) Looks like the months ending in "ember" and "ober" do well, perhaps they work better lyrically.

Next, I looked at the different days of the week:

- Monday (11)
- Tuesday (5)
- Wednesday (2)
- Thursday (3)
- Friday (6)
- Saturday (13)
- Sunday (18)

Clearly, people are inspired by the weekend and the dreaded Monday, leaving little love for the middle of the week. Not much else to say here, I guess...

Nice. "Also, I love that the days are getting longer, but still aren't long enough to actually do anything. It's really magical."

However, they missed the real reason late February is glorious. My birthday.
