'Cause there are no reasons

Geldof wrote the song after reading a telex report at Georgia State University's campus radio station, WRAS, on the shooting spree of 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer, who fired at children playing in a school playground across the street from her home in San Diego, California.

Spencer showed no remorse for her crime, and her full explanation for her actions was "I don't like Mondays, this livens up the day."…This was #1 hit in 4 countries. View wiki
