Prince mention during VH1 show on the Bangles Our hero was mentioned on Vh1's Behind the Music - The Bangles Story. About halfway into the show it was stated that Prince, who apparently had been a big fan of the all girl group since 1982, gave them the song Manic Monday as a "token of his admiration for the band." The song quickly shot to #2 on Bilboard's hot 100 singles chart and instantly made the group a hot act. Rumors of a romantic connection between Prince and Bangles member Susanah Hoffs soon arose. All four members of the band made it very clear that there was never any romance between the two at all. They said that Prince had a big crush on Susannah but nothing ever came of it. Susannah called her relationship with Prince "awkward" and the other members seemed a bit upset that the Bangles became known, not for their hard work and musical abilities, but rather for their connection to Prince. The band's manager said that nothing was done to dispell the romance rumors since it gave the group lots of great publicity. TRIVIA QUESTION: Manic Monday reached #2 on Bilboard's pop chart. What song blocked it from becoming a #1 hit? | |
