Sorry if this has been done before, but Glen Cambell's recent song "May 21st, 1969" got me thinking about songs that include actual dates in either the title, lyric or both. Any date will do!
"April 29th, 1992 (Miami)" -- Sublime (song title)
"The 21st of September" - lyric from Earth, Wind & Fire's "September"
"Early morning April 4" - lyric from U2's "Pride"
I'd suggest sticking with dates (for instance "December 25" would be good, but "Christmas" not so much).

"January 23-30, 1978"--Steve Forbert (title--my birthday is in there someplace)
"It was the 3rd of June" followed by "then came the 4th of June"--lyrics from "Desiree" by Neil Diamond (June 4 is by best friend's birthday, he's a big Neil Dimaond fan)

Elton John mentions my birthday in a song, though he doesn't seem too happy about it: "I wish tonight wasn't Wednesday night/I wish it wasn't the 13th of July" -- from Medley: Yell Help/Wednesday Night/Ugly.
(oops, I wasn't quick enough on the draw for the Papa Was A Rolling Stone quote I also had in this post!)

Beat you to it!
How about:
♫ Saturday / In the park / I think it was the fourth of July ♪
Or:
♫ They go to a lake of fire and fry / See them again on the fourth of July ♪
Or:
♫ You were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring / Well something on the surface it stings ♪
You know, a Saturday, July 4 would make it 2009 or every seventh year prior to that.
