This song reminds me of my friend Emma who is a massive Prince fan and during the time I was at school, and we were friends, introduced me to other artistes (such as ‘Shelia E’ and ‘The Bangles’) for whom Prince had written songs.
I have always been a big Prince fan and recently went to see him when he was in London at the O2, saw ‘Under The Cherry Moon’ and ‘Purple Rain’ when I was at school and never cease to be impressed by the vast amount of music he churns out.
Rumour has it that Manic Monday was written by Prince for Susanna Hoffs, who was the singer with ‘The Bangles’ however it seems more likely that it was a song that Prince had written in the past and offered to them to record. I remember this song being in the charts and loving its message and simplicity. Sometimes we just don’t want to go to work on a Monday (or in some cases at all) but we know we know we have to……
Now listen to the song….
