I believe it was just something "thrown out" during a Mirage tour rehearsal. It's a song originally co-written by Fats Domino.
Here are the lyrics:

And here's the live performance of Blue Monday:

Thanks Gaius, that was predictable, though funny. I've always hated this with every bloodcell but in retrospect, it's good to hear in a liveversion. Not too bad.

It's interesting given Fats Domino's involvement (is the Mac a cover, then?, I don't know this song) and New Order using the title. . . kinda like their great opening track to "Waiting for the Siren's Call": It's called "Who's Joe?" which is a reference to "Hey, Joe."

Here's what Hooky said about it:

Quote:

New Order frontman Peter Hook was reading about Fats Domino while writing this song. "He had a song called Blue Monday," Hook said, "and it was a Monday and we were all miserable, so I thought, 'Oh, that's quite apt.'

My favourite live version is off the Ayr '83 bootleg where they were so out of their heads that it's one of the most hilariously unprofessional performances by any major band: get it here.

Always loved their stories about playing this stuff live as well. Hooky again:

Quote:

The technology to do ‘Blue Monday’ was incredible. A Prophet-5 in 1980 you’d pay £2,000. God knows how much that is today, probably £25-30,000. We had five of them because they were so unreliable. You couldn’t rely on one. You had to have three set up on stage ready to switch them over when they went down and two in the back for when the other three went. It was literally like roulette whether any worked. When the Emulator came in – it was a sample player, you used to load the sample on a floppy disc and play it on a keyboard – and we got the first one and we thought it was amazing. Every song, “Yeah, wow, great.” Really overdid it. It was so unreliable that every time you went on stage… I remember we were playing this gig in Germany and it wouldn’t load up. We kept putting the disc in and it wouldn’t load, it was driving us mad. The sound guy saw this, got off the podium, stormed right up, got on the stage, picked up the Emulator, threw it on the floor, picked it back up and it loaded (laughter). The technology was that ****.

Now that was PROPER live playing. :D

thank u

Thx!!!!!!:woohoo:

Hi everyone! I am locking this thread because we already have "the lindseydemo's bin" thread started and I don't really see the need for so many different threads on the same subject.

Please post all requests on this thread! Thanks!:wavey:

EDIT: I have moved the demo links previously in this thread over to "the lindseydemo's bin" thread.
