The Mamas & the Papas climbed to No. 1 with "Monday, Monday" on May 7, 1966, and held the top spot for three straight weeks. It would turn out to be their only chart-topper.
Songwriter John Phillipscranked out Monday, Monday in roughly 20 minutes after bandmate Denny Doherty prodded him for new material while the group waited for "California Dreamin'" to break out. The track landed on their 1966 debut album, If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears, released through Dunhill Records that February. Members of the legendary Wrecking Crew handled the instrumental backing, including Hal Blaine on drums, Joe Osborn on bass, and Larry Knechtel on keys.
Doherty sang lead, and he later said he thought the track was a throwaway. "Nobody likes Monday, so I thought it was just a song about the working man," he said. CassElliot and Michelle Phillips reportedly weren't fans either.
A No. 1 Hit and a Grammy
Sixty years on, the song still gets cued up every time someone needs a soundtrack for hating their alarm clock.
