This Song was also used in "The Wedding Singer". There is the lyric "But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me" It is printed in the sheet music to "The Wedding Singer" as "But I'm quite sure that she'll tell me". Which is it?.

As with many of New Order's songs, the meaning of "Blue Monday"'s lyric has been the subject of much debate. Although Bernard Sumner never publicly discusses his lyrics, many people have surmised that "Blue Monday" concerns the suicide of Joy Division vocalist Ian Curtis and the effect it had on his former bandmates. However, comparisons with the lyrics and the aftereffects of cocaine have also been made, which would fit in with the potentially drug related themes of many other New Order tracks (another legend has it that the band was on LSD while recording it, and after they finished the producers took them to a café to finish out their tripping while they went back and cleaned it up). It has also been suggested that the song is a reference to the Falklands War.

Blue Monday was written to test out the band's newly acquired electronic equipment - it's more of a musical experiment than anything else. Most of Barney's lyrics are stream of consciouness. Ie he makes them up as he goes along. The lyrics are 'you' rather than 'she'
