Songs mentioning specific dates

[hitmouse]

You know, like:






Ones where the date isn't mentioned in the title also very welcome, they just take longer to think of. You'd think the Four Seasons should secure an easy entry here, but despite a certain night in December 1963 making a big impression on them, they never note the specific date beyond just "late December", so they score no points in this round.

There are probably too many songs that mention Christmas or New Year's Eve / Day, or Valentines Day, but this one manages all of them (and Thanksgiving Night - although that's not a specific date...)

I even made a joke about this when it happened a couple of years ago

I reckon Los Macheteros/Spear of a Nation by Dalek must take the prize for "song that mentions most dates", I'd be impressed if anyone can find one that mentions more dates than that:

Sadly, Don MacLean fails to record the exact date that the music died, so he can't qualify either.
