40 years ago TODAY, that Monday-morning groan finally got a chorus when “Manic Monday” was released in 1985! The Bangles turned the Monday-morning sigh into bright, chiming pop, and Susanna Hoffs sounded half-awake in the best way. Prince wrote it under the name Christopher, which is why the melody feels like it’s smiling while you’re suffering. It became the band’s breakthrough, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and it got blocked from number one by Prince’s own “Kiss.” #nostalgia
