It's Easter Monday!
Which means it's also one of these...
Surely there won't be any other special Awareness Days happening today?
Think again. Because in the USA, it's also...
Army Day
Good job there isn't a war on, eh, Donnie? Just a little "excursion"...
However, there's another Army that will be celebrating today, because it's also...
National Tartan Day
"National Tartan Day was created to celebrate Scottish history and the achievements of people of Scottish descent around the world."
There may well be a song that involves the words "Tartan" and "Army", but I'll leave it for CC to feature that one.
Instead, here's a song from a native son of Scotland... and it's the "Tartan Mix", which I assume means they stuck a minute of bagpipes on at the beginning...
From Scotland to Australia next, where it's...
Waltzing Matilda Day
...celebrating "a song that has a knack for slipping into people’s heads and staying there, whether it’s sung in a stadium, taught in a classroom, or hummed while doing the dishes."
If Waltzing Matilda is now stuck in your head... well, you know what you need, don't you?
National Teflon Day
A day to celebrate all the crimes a certain Orange Autocrat has got away with?
If only he was in a cage. Sadly, whatever you accuse him of, it won't stick.
Meanwhile, if you're sick of Easter Eggs by now, maybe try a little pasta...
National Carbonara Day
No idea who came up with that genius idea.
"The ideal thing that almost anyone can do on National Carbonara Day is to head out to a favourite Italian restaurant and order up a plate of carbonara pasta."
But surely there aren't any songs about Carbonara?
I'd advise you not to click on that link. Don't blame me if you did.
To cheer you up at the end of this post, why not contemplate your own mortality? Yes, it's...
Plan Your Epitaph Day
Here's a song I want playing at my funeral...
Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house
Maybe you'll think of me and smile
