In Bob Geldof's book "Is That It?" he talks about writing this song and the doing the video.

I was watching a special on A&E about the "1st" school shooting in the US. The special was pretty uneventful as far as specials go but they mentioned that there was a song written about the shooting. I always loved this song and Bob Geldof and wondered if there was a connection. Thanks to the Internet and YouTube...I found there was. This is a great song and will always be one of my favs dispite the incident. BTW, the girl who did the shooting was recently denied parole...again.

[thegonz1]

first time saw this tripping like hell

[m4rkiz]

When asked why she went on her rampage, she shrugged and replied, "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day."[1] She also said, "I had no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun"; "It was just like shooting ducks in a pond"' and "[The children] looked like a herd of cows standing around; it was really easy pickings." At the time of the shootings, she was 16 years old.[2]

oh god theyre good. its so fucked up but the songs so rad.

[tomsawyer211]

the ladys name was brenda spencer and one of her responces "i dont like mondays"

[BenjyHenryHoward]

She didn't bring a gun to her school. She shot at an elementary school playground from her window. She wasn't being bullied at the time, and her only reason for doing so was "I had no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun".

[FaceInTheRain]

I remember the Boomtown Rats took some flak for this song, at least here in the States.

Love this song

[maverickrazor]

This song is about the true story of a young girl who decided to take her Dad's gun to school. She proceeded to shoot all and sundry who walked into her sightline. This was in America in the mid seventies. When questioned by Police as to why she'd done it she said it was because she didn't like Mondays
