Get random values from an Array

I'm trying to change the elements of an array randomly, by changing the indexes. Thats ok. Now the problem is that as the random is always random, I can get two results that are the same.

for example:

Monday:

song 1

song 2

song 3

Tuesday:

song 2

song 1

song 3

Wednesday:

song 1

song 2

song 3

And so on...

And the list from

Monday

and

Wednesday

in this case is the same. I need to control that, but as you can see on the code, once I get the list from one day, I just print it. I thought about putting it on an array or Tuples and check if that tuple exists, but I think its too complicated. I thought that maybe I can make my own random function. But still, I'm not sure about that solution either. Any ideas of how can I solve this situation? Thanks!

Here is the code I have so far:

    static string[] songs = new string[] { "song1", "song2", "song3" };
    static string[] days = new string[] { "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday", "Sunday" };
    private static Random random = new Random();

/* Random number between lower and higher, inclusive */
    public static int rand(int lower, int higher)
    {
        int r = lower + (int)(random.Next(0, 2) * (higher - lower));

        return r;
    }

    /* pick M elements from original array. Clone original array so that
   7 * we don’t destroy the input. */
    public static string[] pickMRandomly()
    {
        string[] subset = new string[songs.Length];
        string[] array = (string[])songs.Clone();
        for (int j = 0; j < songs.Length; j++)
        {
            int index = rand(j, array.Length - 1);
            subset[j] = array[index];
            array[index] = array[j]; // array[j] is now “dead”
        }
        return subset;
    }

    public static void playListCreation()
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < days.Length; j++)
        {
            var result =pickMRandomly();
            System.Console.WriteLine(days[j]);
            foreach (var i in result)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine(i + " ");
            }
            System.Console.WriteLine("/n");
        }
    }
}
