Songs in the classroom : Friday I'm in Love

Hiya !
It's Friday at last, so let's celebrate it ! My coworker and colleague, Nuria, told me a very good song, so this post will be a homage to both her and her chosen song ! The song's title is Friday I'm in Love, sung by the group The Cure. 
As usual, listen to the song and try to do the activities that I propose (most of them Nuria's ideas indeed). Then, you'll be allowed to check your answers at the  bottom of the page. Ready ?




1. Listen to the song carefully and try to discover how many times you'll hear each day of the week. Then, have a look at the lyrics and the answers down below and answer the questions:

Monday : ____ times
Tuesday : ____ times
Wednesday : _____ times
Thursday : _____ times
Friday : ______ times
Saturday : _____ times
Sunday : _____ times


2. Identify three colours in the song.  What does the expression : Monday's blue mean?

3. Identify two parts of the body.
4. Have a look at the lyrics of the song  and identify the words that rhyme with 'heart', 'blue', 'surprise' and 'bed'.

Friday I'm in love
I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday
I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love
