A recent thread was looking for songs based on the days of the week, Too easy for Mudcat, folks, too easy.

Now the challenge I'm setting is to get as close as we can to a tune a date!

So starting with May, off the top of my head I come up with:

Good people all, both great and small
It is the first of May

...but a cannonball on the fifth of May
took my two fine legs from the knees away

On the fourteenth of May at the dawn of the day

The Playford tune "The Twenty-ninth of May"

Sticking to May, for the moment, what other dates can we fill in?

One rule: no songs or tunes written specially for this occasion!
