more like New Breeds talking over the Midwest lol

Ooh she waa waa. What was all that about? We never really heard Susan 'sing'. She just kinda spoke thru songs in a sexy tone.

MANIC MONDAY

Initial tracking for Prince's original version took place on 4 February 1984 at Sunset Sound, Hollywood, CA, USA (the day before recording Ooo She She Wa Wa); the song was intended for Apollonia 6 (as a duet between Prince and Apollonia), and was included as the third track on the 29 February 1984 and Spring 1984 configurations of the Apollonia 6 album, but was withdrawn from the album prior to release.

The Bangles' version of Manic Monday was mostly re-recorded (information on recording dates and location are needed), but it features some of Prince's original backing tracks (Brenda Bennett's background vocals can still be heard on the released version).

Jill Jones- background vocals (uncredited, unconfirmed)

6 o'clock already, I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissing Valentino by a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can't be late cuz then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days when U wish your bed was already made

CHORUS:
It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
Cuz that's my fun day
My "I don't have 2 run" day
It's just another manic Monday

Have 2 catch an early train, got 2 be 2 work by 9
If I had an airplane, I still couldn't make it on time
Cuz it takes me so long just 2 figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train, but the boss is already there

CHORUS

All of the nights, why did my lover have 2 pick last night 2 get down?
(Last night we got down)
Doesn't it matter that I have 2 feed the both of us? Employment's down
But when he tells me in his bedroom voice
"Come on, honey, let's go make some noise," what he says
Time, it goes so fast (when U're having fun)

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
Cuz that's my fun day
It's just another manic Monday

Am I the only one who doesn't like the song "Manic Monday"? I think it's just a lazy pop song and the lyrics really aren't that good.Furthermore,the melody in the verses is too much like "1999".I'm glad it was left off the A6 album.It doesn't fit the "vibe" of that album.

(28) EXT. HIGHWAY -- DUSK * TAKE ME WITH YOU *

Prince and Vanity on his MOTORCYCLE
blazing down the HIGHWAY, twisting
through TRAFFIC. The CITY is behind
them, receding into the distance.

(29) Ext. COUNTRYSIDE -- DUSK

They pull off an access road, drop down
a small embankment, ride down a narrow,
dirt road.

Come on and touch the place in me
That's calling out your name
We want each other oh so much
Why must we play this game?

Don't care where we go
I don't care what we do
I don't care pretty baby
Just take me with U

I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion
I don't care if we spend the night on the town
All I want is 2 spend the night 2gether
All I want is 2 spend the night in your arms

LAKESIDE

The pull to a stop. A LAKE stretches
before them. Vanity gets off the bike,
walks around exploring, casting curious
glances at Prince. He stands by the
water, idly tossing stones--



VANITY
My psychic told me I was
going to be famous.

PRINCE
How much did that cost you?

VANITY
Fifty bucks. It was a good
investment.

He doesn't respond -- she suddenly feels
shy--

VANITY
No seriously -- My psychic did
tell me. I was in a play
once.

PRINCE
Oh, yeah -- what did you play?

VANITY
Isadora Duncan...

She stretches her arms like a butterfly,
does a little step--

VANITY
That means I can sing and
dance.
(a beat)
Want to help me?



PRINCE
(swiftly)
Nope.

VANITY
(surprised)
Pardon me?

PRINCE
Nope.

She's Perplexed--

PRINCE
Want to know why?

VANITY
(defensively)
Nope.


PRINCE
(a beat)
Because you wouldn't pass the
initiation.

VANITY
What initiation?

PRINCE
Well, for starters ycu have to
purify yourself in the waters
of Lake Minnetonka.

VANITY
What?

PRINCE
You have to purify yourself in
Lake Minnetonka.

Her brow furrows, she looks out across
the lake. He's calmly throwing stones.
Recognizing a challenge when she sees
one, she formulates a plan, faces him
seductively, shoots him an open look.
He stops suddenly, locks eyes with her,
feels his knees go weak. Her hold on
him is unmistakable. She pulls off her
blouse in one fluid motion, tugs off her
boots, drops her pants to the ground.
She's exquisite, takes a step toward
him. Passion rings in his veins ...

Suddenly she turns on her heels, moves
purposefully toward the water. He's
shocked, realizes that she's about to
go in--

PRINCE
Hey, wait a minute! Thats--

But she silences him savagely--

VANITY
We made a deal!

And before he can react she scampers
along a log, DIVES beneath the surface.
He can't believe it -- her spirit really
impresses him. She breaks the surface
coughing and sputtering, hops and jumps
to the shore--

PRINCE
Hold it.

VANITY
What?

PRINCE
That ain't Lake Minnetonka.

He tries to keep a straight face, jumps
on his motorcvcle, STARTS it up. His
words take a moment to sink in, then--

VANITY
(enraged)
You bastard. I don't believe
it. How could you do that to
me?!

She gathers up her clothes, tries
desperately to put them on. She slips
and falls -- Prince can't help laughing-

-

VANITY
Damn you -- I'll kill you.

She starts throwing stones. He laughs,
blasts up the path--

VANITY
(screaming)
You prick! Are you sick?! Is
this some kind of ritual --
getting your kicks! How many
girls have you done this to?

ACCESS ROAD

He blazes up the embankment, SAILS
through the air, drops expertly onto the
road. He fishtails to a slick stop.
Vanity is by the lake, flailing about,
throwing things, trying to get into her
boots--


VANITY
Bastard!

He laughs heartily, wants to kid her,
rides down the road as if he's leaving.
Having his fun, he slows, turns to go
back ...

...his smile dissolves instantly.
Vanity is in the middleof the road,
flagging down a small PICKUP TRUCK. She
hops in, slams the door. The truck
peels out, bears down upon him. He
gesticulates his arms wildly -- wants
to explain--



PRINCE
Hey ...

But the truck streaks past -- Vanity's
look is cold, triumphant.

2 be around U is so-oh right
U're sheer perfection (Thank U)
Drive me crazy, drive me all night
Just don't break up the connection

Just take me with U
Won't U take me with U?
Honey, take me with U

Take Me With U

I can't disguise the pounding of my heart
It beats so strong
It's in your eyes, what can I say
They turn me on

CHORUS:
I don't care where we go
I don't care what we do
I don't care pretty baby
Just take me with U

Come on and touch the place in me
That's calling out your name
We want each other oh so much
Why must we play this game?

Don't care where we go
I don't care what we do
I don't care pretty baby
Just take me with U

I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion
I don't care if we spend the night on the town
All I want is 2 spend the night 2gether
All I want is 2 spend the night in your arms

2 be around U is so-oh right
U're sheer perfection (Thank U)
Drive me crazy, drive me all night
Just don't break up the connection

CHORUS {x2}

Just take me with U
Won't U take me with U?
Honey, take me with U

Why do you keep saying "Vanity" when this is "Apollonia"???

yeah,Susan was definitely the non-singing element of the trio.Seems as if Prince gave her songs that had spoken lines so that she wouldn't even have to attempt to sing.I have mixed feelings about "Ooh She She Wa Wa".I like the 'rock' feel of it but it's hard to take the song seriously,lol.

This is from the original script, when Vanity was still in the group.

Yeah the first half was silly in a bad way, unlike (If A Girl Answers)
The 2nd half is pretty cool.

Susan did really well on Make Up, and Drive Me Wild, I loved her voice on those songs, I love her voice in general. I think she is much better than Apollonia.

41) EXT. ALLEYWAY #2, REAR CLUB -- NIGHT

Vanity leans against a brick wall,
hiding in the shadows. Suddenly
FOOTSTEPS approach. Prince appears,
gets on his Motorcycle--

VANITY
Hey...

He doesn't look up--

PRINCE
We have to go to your place.

VANITY
What for?

PRINCE
I want to show you something.

She's embarrassed by her apartment--

VANITY
No...no, we can't.

PRINCE
Why -- is there someone there?

VANITY
Why do you always think
there's somebody else?

He averts his eyes -- kick STARTS his
bike--

PRINCE
Let's go.


VANITY
(Getting on)
Yeah -- but we're not going to
my place.

He remains silent, snaps the bike into
gear, blasts down the ally into the
street.

(42) PRINCE'S HOUSE AND STREET -- NIGHT

Prince and Vanity whip down a
residential street. As he approaches
his house he slows, moves past it
quietly.

He makes a deft U-turn, crosses his
house again -- seems to be listening
intently...

After a moment, he cuts down a narrow
path, turns up a back alley. He rides
to a wooden gate, detaches a hidden
lever. The wood slats rotate like a
garage door -- Prince coaxes his bike
through.

BACKYARD

Vanity's mesmerized. They ride down a
narrow sidewalk, cut through a garden,
and emerge from the back of a garage.
He leans his bike against it--

VANITY
That was a grand entrance.
Where am I?

He silences her with a look, moves
quickly across the grass, comes to a
window. He stands on a pipe, looks in--

(43) PRINCE'S POV -- INT. LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT

His Mother and Father in the living
room. His Mother is sprawled out on the
sofa, obviously drunk, her dress hiked
along her thighs. Her head rests in his
Father's lap.

(44) EXT. BACKYARD -- NIGHT

Prince hops from the pipe, leans coolly
against the house. Intrigued. Vanity
looks in--

(45) VANITY'S POV -- INT. LIVING ROOM -- NIGHT

The mother and father kissing
tentatively, then violently, finally
pulling away. The Mother seems to be
taunting the Father, coaxing him into a
trap. He kisses her mouth lustily --
she pulls back snarling--.

(46) EXT. BACKYARD -- NIGHT

Vanity's scared -- tries to be cool--

VANITY
So -- friends of yours?

PRINCE
Yeah -- the freak show.

He walks off. She jumps off the pipe,
follows.


SIDE OF HOUSE

as they emerge around the corner.
Prince squats by a basement window,
adjusts an old coal chute, then slides
down it--

VANITY
Hey...

PRINCE (O.S.)
C'mon.

She hesitates a moment, then slides down
too.

(47) INT. BASEMENT, PRINCE'S HOME -- NIGHT

GOD the LOVE THEME

He turns on a LIGHT, disappears into an
ADJOINING ROOM. Vanity looks around
amazed. She stands in a small ANTE-
CHAMBER whose walls are covered with
thicks pads and foam.

Colorful MOBILES hang suspended from the
ceilings -- various INSTRUMENTS lie
about: a drumset, an electric guitar,
and a small upright piano. A stereo and
cassette player. are perched on a shelf,
and two speakers are recessed into the
walls. The entire room looks hand-
built, the wood carefully painted, or
stained.

She peers through the doorway into the
adjoining room. BLUE MOONLIGHT filters
in through the casement windows.
Various MURALS are painted on the walls,
MOBILES are suspended from the ceiling.
A bed sits in the middle of the floor, a
vanity table and mirror nearby.

She stands idly a mement, then moves
around the antechamber. Various
KNICKNACKS catch her attention. Small
wind-up TOYS lie about: a soldier, a
bear banging on a drum, a tractor and
car. A small MUSIC BOX sits on a shelf.
She turns the handle, a little TUNE
fills the room...

A cassette sits in the player. She
snaps it shut, hits the play button. A
DRUM BEAT fills the room, followed by a
WOMAN'S VOICE, seemingly speaking in a
foreign tongue. The combination is
hypnotic and sensual -- she finds
herself drawn in ...

Suddenly Prince grabs her by the waist,
lets out a SHRIEK. She draws a out
breath, jumps--

VANITY
If you think you scared me,
you didn't.

PRINCE
Oh, yeah ...

He puts his index finger directly in
front of her nose, moves it back and
forth hypnotically. She follows it
earnestly with her eyes. Suddenly, he
pulls his hand away, stretches it to the
ceiling like an escaping bird. They
both smile, lock eyes. Passion rings in
their veins...

The Woman's VOICE begins to moan deeply,
pleasurably--

VANITY
Who's the lucky girl? Sounds
like she was having a good
time.

PRINCE
She's crying -- it's
backwards. It makes me sad
when I hear it. It sorta
sounds like she's laughing,
doesn't it?

VANITY
So what did you do to her? Do
you always treat your women
like that?

PRINCE
I don't have anybody right
now.

Heat floods into her womb like soft fire-
-

VANITY
You look pretty...

She touches his chest delicately, fluffs
up his hair--

VANITY
King Kong?

PRINCE
Stop.

She hesitates -- but he reaches out
tentatively, touches her breast--

VANITY
No.

But their mutual desire is too strong.
Their lips seek one another out timidly,
almost deferentially...then fervently.



DISSOLVE TO:

(48) INT. BEDROOM -- LATER -- NIGHT

Vanity sits at the foot of the bed,
Prince stands before her. Her dress is
hiked along her thighs, her stockings
attached to garters. Their hands search
delicately across the contours of their
bodies, drawing quick breaths from their
lips. They kiss one another ardently,
then quickly, like sparrows pecking
seed. She goes to remove her dress, but
Prince stays her with a gesture, moving
his hands along her thighs, touching
delicately that spot between her legs.
A low, whispery moan escapes from her
lips.

Vanity lies back, drawing Prince toward
her. His lips move across her mouth,
her neck, her breasts. She moans
softly, pulls her dress above her
thighs, goes to remove it. Once again
he stops her, slowly turns her onto her
stomach.

She stands.on her knees, her head
resting on a pillow. His hands move up
along the back of her thighs, past the
garters to her panties. He tugs at them
gently, then rubs his hand firmly
between her legs. She moans suddenly,
the shudder moving through her like a
whirlwind ...

DISSOLVE TO:

(49) INT. BEDROOM -- LATER -- NIGHT

MOONLIGHT glows throuch the casement
windows. MOBILES stir gently in the
night breeze.

Prince and Vanity are asleep. He rests
on his side, his hands gently surporting
his face. She lies behind him, one leg
dangling off the bed, one shoe discarded
on the floor

Suddenly a distant MOAN...QUICK
FOOTSTEPS -- A DOOR SLAMS. Vanity SNAPS
awake! Fear sweeps her like a shadow
from a passing cloud. She listens
intently, then--

-- Another DOOR SLAM, QUICK FOOTSTEPS,
and Prince's Mother
CRYING in the dark--

MOTHER
(o.s.)
(upstairs)
Please!

A bottle CRASHES to the floor. Then
silence...

...deep silence like snow in the room...

Vanity's racked with fear. She sits up
slowly, her eyes searching out Prince --
he's sleeping...

Suddenly more FOOTSTEPS, a DOOR SLAMS and the
Father's CRY--

FATHER
(o.s.)
No!!

WHACK! Something heavy CRASHES to the
floor...

Vanity rises from the bed in a panic!
She smoothes down her dress, searches
for her other shoe. She shoots another
look to Prince, but he sleeps
peacefully. Casting a glance upstairs,
she climbs throuch the casement window,
disappears into the night.

PRINCE is resting on his side, his eyes
opened.

Well anybody new to Purple Rain would think Vanity starred in the movie instead of Apollonia ....

I've seen the original script with Vanity.Some of it is really interesting and a little different from the final version.
