Not really opposites? However, we could add "Stormy Monday"...any other
week-day-related tunes?
> We're In the Money/Buddy, Can You Spare A Dime  (was this done here

I posted "Brother..." but couldn't recall any 78 tunes about being rich...?!

As far as the other thought, we could pair:

Mr. Radio Man
They Start the Victrola

Wasn't there an "answer song" to "Won't You Come Home, Bill Bailey"...?!

add:

Please Go Away and Let Me Sleep
Wake the Town and Tell the People

and

How High's the Water, Mama
It Ain't Gonna Rain No More

This Old House
I'm Tore Down

Gambler's Blues
Broke and Disgusted (are these opposites?!)

Your Feets Too Big
Golden Slippers

Back In the U.S.S.R
America the Beautiful

Show Me the Way To Go Home
Home In Pasadena

I Can't Help It
It's All My Fault
