tulisannya duke mengenai asal usul lagu 'i don't like monday'
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/proletar/message/192645

*1st verse
----------
:the silicon chip inside her head
:gets switched to overload
:and nobody's gonna go to school today
:she's going to make them stay at home
:and daddy doesn't understand it
:he always said she was as good as gold
:and he can see no reason
:'cos there are no reasons
:what reason do you need to be shown

sir bob geldof adalah penyanyi, pengarang lagu, dan pemimpin
band irlandia bernama 'the boomtown rats'. saat itu ia sedang
di studio radio london dalam sebuah wawancara, ketika terdengar
suara mesin telex (fax versi kuno) berbunyi. mencetak 'hot news'
dari seberang benua, yg mengabarkan sebuah berita yg langsung
memberikannya ide untuk menulis sebuah lagu. sebuah karya yang
akan membuatnya terkenal (lalu dianugerahi 'sir'), serta 'one
hit wonder' yg membuat 'boomtown rats' jadi icon musik 80an.

*reffrein
---------
:tell me why .. i don't like mondays (3 times)
:i want to shoot .. the whole day down

kreativitas bob memberikan nuansa futuristik (ramalan) lewat
frase: 'silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload'.
yakni saat manusia telah hidup bersama mahluk genetik 'androids'
yg ditanam (implant) chip di otaknya. ketika 'perintah' melalui
chips menjadi penuh (overload), sang androids jadi error serta
bertindak di luar kendali (berzerk). ide ini mirip dgn yg pernah
dinyanyikan kelompok pink floyd, saat menggambarkan anak sekolah
yg dipaksa menjadi robot dalam menerima pelajaran dan doktrin.
lalu anak sekolah itu memberontak dan berseru pada lirik lagu
'another brick in the wall', yakni: we dont need, no education!

*2nd verse
----------
:the telex machine is kept so clean
:as it types to a waiting world
:and mother feels so shocked
:father's world is rocked
:and their thoughts turn to
:their own little girl
:sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen
:no, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
:they can see no reasons
:'cos there are no reasons
:what reason do you need to be shown

berita telex yg juga dibaca oleh bob geldof itu, berbunyi:
*on 29 january 1979, 16-year-old 'brenda ann spencer' (female)
opened fire on children arriving at cleveland elementary school
in san diego from her house across the street, killing two men
and wounding eight students and a police officer.
principal burton wragg was attempting to rescue children in
the line of fire when he was shot and killed, and custodian
mike suchar was slain attempting to aid wragg*.

*3rd verse
----------
:all the playings stopped in the playground now
:she wants to play with her 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 crackles, with
:the problems and 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 .. die

'brenda ann spencer' adalah anak kecil biasa, yg jadi terkenal
karena kasus ini. sebelumnya ia telah menerima hadian natal 1978
dari ayahnya, yg rada aneh juga, yakni sebuah senapan (a rifle).
alat itu lalu memberinya ide untuk membuat 'a lil fun', ditengah
kesuntukkannya. ia pergi ke halaman sekolah yg pas di seberang
rumahnya di senin pagi yg ramai, lantas menembak membabi buta.
akhirnya ia ditangkap 7 jam kemudian, pengakuannya adalah:
*gak ada alasan apapun, it was just a lot of fun. kayak lagi
nembak bebek, lagian mereka (para murid, guru, dan orang tua)
begitu gampang dibidik. i just started shooting, that's it.
i did it because it's a way to cheer the day up, and i just
don't like mondays. yep .. nobody likes mondays!*

*reffrein
---------
:tell me why .. i don't like mondays (3 times)
:i want to shoot .. the whole day down

lagu ini langsung beken dan jawara di inggris, namun 'gagal'
di amerika karena sensor (terutama san diego, tempat kejadian).
bob sendiri lantas dikenal sbg 'duta peduli nyawa kemanusiaan',
antara lain melalui 'band aid' (kumpulan musisi untuk amal) yg
akhirnya terselenggara konser raksasa antar benua 'live aid'.

sementara si kecil 'ann spencer' harus mendekam selama 25 taon,
yg berarti bebas taon 2005 kemaren. istilah 'kutukan hari senin'
seolah jadi popular, terutama dalam tindakan kejahatan seperti
juga dilakukan pada senin april 1999 oleh dua siswa 'columbine
high school' yg menembak mati 12 rekannya dan seorang guru.
fenomena apa yg sebetulnya terjadi? apakah senin hari simbol
pemberontakan setelah dua hari bermalasan (sabtu dan minggu)?

perkara mengenai 'hari buruk' ini, juga secara 'lebih sopan'
telah dilantunkan penyanyi canada 'daniel powter'. begitu pas
saat digunakan acara popular american idol, mengiringi kontestan
yg kalah. 'stop to humiliate ur self, plis!', kata simon cowell.

:'cause you had a bad day
:u're taking one down
:u sing a sad song just to turn it around
:u say you don't know
:u tell me don't lie
:u work at a smile and you go for a ride
:u had a bad day
:u see what you like
:and how does it feel one more time?
:u had a bad day ..
:u had a bad day
