--I worked on this music video. ;)
Chances are you haven't heard this song before (it was banned from almost every radio station in the US) but you may recognize the lead singer Bob Geldof as "Pink" from Pink Floyd's 1982 film, The Wall.
Geldof wrote the song after reading a telex report at Georgia State University's campus radio station, WRAS, on the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, who fired at children playing in a school playground across the street from her home in San Diego, California. She killed two adults and injured eight children and one police officer. Spencer showed no remorse for her crime, and her full explanation for her actions was "I don't like Mondays; this livens up the day.
Although recorded in late 1979 it didn't rotate heavily on radio stations until the early 80's. Enjoy!
