Saturday 9- Manic Monday (1985)

 



Manic Monday

Manic Monday (1985) 
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) In this song, Bangles lead singer Susannah Hoffs sings that "it's 6:00 already." What time did you wake up this morning?  I am filling this our Friday night, so I got up at 5AM for work.

2) She's running late for work and she wishes her bed was already made so she wouldn't have to spend time doing it. Do you ever leave the house without making your bed?  no, I sit on my bed some as I get ready, so I need it to not be all crazy.
 
3) She sings that it would take an airplane to get her to work on time. Are you usually early, on time, or late?   Early, teachers have a lot to do before we can start our day.

4) Since Monday is the start of her hectic workweek, she wishes it was Sunday because that's her "fun day." What's your favorite day of the week?  Saturday.  I like to sleep, so I usually get to sleep later on Saturday and I know that I do not have to work the next day, so it is a nice day.

5) "Manic Monday" was written by Prince. What's your favorite Prince song?  I like Purple Rain a lot and 1999

6) In 1985, when this song was a hit, Sears promoted sleepwear with characters on them in their children's department. GI Joe pajamas were popular. When you were a kid, did you have a favorite pair of pjs?  I had this little night gown when I was really little that looked like patchwork.  It was mostly blue with a little red.  I liked wearing that one.





7) A fashion tradition dating back to the early 1900s states that you should put your white slacks, shoes, jackets and belts away after Labor Day. Do you follow that rule?  I do, but not on purpose.  I am more of a wear what you want person.  I remember wearing white jeans in high school in the winter with a pink and cream sweater...the jeans were probably cream colored...maybe that is ok.  I wear what I feel like wearing though.
 
8) Traditionally Labor Day marks the moment when fans turn their attention to the NFL and NCAA football. Will you be rooting for a particular football team this season?  Kansas City Chiefs.  I live in Missouri and have cheered them on my whole life.

9) According to the auto insurance industry, the average American spends 52 minutes (26 each way) behind the wheel every day traveling to and from work. How do you while away the time when you're stuck in traffic?  I am not stuck in traffic on my drive home, but I do have that long of a commute.  I usually listen to the radio or an audio book.

  1. I do my best work at school in the morning before there are a lot of people around to distract me. Plus, I can usually use the photocopier without having a line.

  2. #6: Those sound like the perfect pjs for a little lady.
