Talk:Manic Monday

2003 Guardian Interview
Tbhotch: I don't know if you're interested in expanding the article, but I found an interview in The Guardian from 2003 that briefly touches upon the song:

But they did find themselves in the peculiar situation of having a string of hits that didn't really sound like them. It began when Prince took a shine to the band and gave them a present: a box containing a tape of Manic Monday. Despite painfully rhyming "Sunday" with "I-don't-have-to-run day", it was an international hit. It was also their eventual undoing. The Bangles' cherished insistence that they were equals and didn't have a traditional frontperson evaporated in the face of Hoffs' lead vocal and false press rumours of a romance with Prince.

"It was a slippery slope," says Peterson. "By the time we released singles where it really was multiple vocals, it didn't really defuse that perception. People like to paint it as girls having a catfight but it was more the frustration of not being perceived as a unit." A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 23:18, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you A Quest for that useful information, I just added, and thus these rumors are closed. Tb hotch Ta lk C. 00:38, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Progression
The progression, from D to A7 in the beginning, is all wrong. Anyone without a tin ear can hear it. Unfortunately, this error has been propagated to many other 'pedias'. Brett Alexander Hunter (talk) 13:22, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

Cat Stevens
Is there no reference which mentions the similarity to Cat's "The Wind". To me it sounds almost certainly plagiarized or at least heavily influenced by it. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:55, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
