Delete Playlist or Delete item from playlist?

ok, I'm not a programmer or an expert at automator but I'm trying to do something and maybe someone out there can help.
I'm having trouble with an action - it doesn't exist and I can't seem to get recorder to make it exist...

I'm creating a workflow that will put only one particular song in a specified playlist each day.  I need to use the same playlist name every time as another automated program is searching for the playlist. I only want that ONE song in there each day and the song is dependent on the month/day of the year (ex: a halloween song on 10/31).    I am able to create a workflow that adds a specific song to the playlist each day of the year by creating it as an iCal alarm - so far so good.  However, I need to REMOVE the song from the previous day.  There is an action that CREATES a play list so I'm thinking I could produce a workflow that creates a new playlist with the same name AFTER I delete the playlist.  Then I can add the specific song to it - which is another action already in my library - for each day of the year.

So it would work like this:

1. Delete Playlist = Today's Song
2. Add Songs to Playlist (allows me to specify a new playlist, so I'll name it Today's Song)

Pretty simple except I need the Delete Playlist action.

How would I create it or does anyone have it for import?

Thanks
Andrew
