Cover versions

"Everyday Is Like Sunday" was covered by the Pretenders for the soundtrack to the film Boys on the Side . Morrissey commented at the time, "I do know that Chrissie Hynde is doing 'Everyday Is Like Sunday.' I've heard a demo version and, well, my cheeks are moist." [28] The song has also been covered by 10,000 Maniacs (as a B-side to their single "Candy Everybody Wants"); the Estonian pop group Mr. Lawrence; the Armageddon Dildos (on the "Come Armageddon" maxi-single) and Mikel Erentxun (on his album Acrobatas). Colin Meloy of The Decemberists included the song on Colin Meloy Sings Morrissey . The Mexican tribute act Mexrrissey featured it (as "Cada Día Es Domingo") on their 2015 No Manchester album, and Canadian band The Tea Party released a cover as a bonus track on their 2021 album Blood Moon Rising.

A mostly instrumental version (containing only the title lyric) was used in the NFL Network's "When all you want is football" television ad campaign. [29]
