Story behind the song

I loved the Fats version. This is a challenge to myself to do a slow song. (They're harder I think)
Buddy Holly was one of the first to cover the song and Cat Stevens also recorded a cover version. Tim Curry recorded the song for the theme of a 1986 British made-for-TV movie Blue Money. Gene Summers included "Blue Monday" on his 1981 album Gene Summers in Nashville for the French Big Beat label. Bob Seger covered the song for the 1989 film Road House and Dr. John covered the song for his 1992 album "Goin' Back to New Orleans." Huey Lewis and the News covered the song on their 1994 album
