Remarks:
The beautiful Susanna Hoffs singing a Prince song – it is hard to get better than that. This went to #2 in the Anglosphere in 1986. The first 30 seconds have been ringing in my head the past day or so: “By a crystal blue Italian stream.”
I was thinking of doing a post with my favourite Prince songs, but there are too few on YouTube to make that worthwhile. And what few there are will no doubt be taken down within the week. Songs he writes for others, though, like this one, do not seem to suffer that fate.

Lyrics:
Six o’clock already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was kissin’ Valentino
By a crystal blue Italian stream
But I can’t be late
‘Cause then I guess I just won’t get paid
These are the days
When you wish your bed was already made
It’s just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
My I don’t have to run day
It’s just another manic Monday
Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an aeroplane
I still couldn’t make it on time
‘Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I’m gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there
It’s just another manic Monday
Wish it were Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
My I don’t have to run day
It’s just another manic Monday
All of the nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down?
(Last night, last night)
Doesn’t it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment’s down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
“C’mon honey, let’s go make some noise”
Time it goes so fast
(When you’re having fun)
It’s just another manic Monday
I wish it were Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
I don’t have to run day
It’s just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
‘Cause that’s my fun day
It’s just a manic Monday

Prince didn’t want his music on you tube and would have it removed or disable the sound.
You could post something like Koo Koo by Sheila E., 🙂

I’ve had this song stuck in my head as well! Only discovered it recently but it was a fortunate discovery.

This was big hit when I was in middle school. It is very catchy! Prince always had a knack for that.

I always love the beat on Love Bizarre! I had a huge crush on Sheila E as a kid. It’s still a classic!

Prince absolutely wrecking the ever-loving shit out of the solo:

solo starts at about 3:30…most people didn’t even know he was onstage.

Wow! He’s NO joke on that guitar! He was much more talented than people give him credit for.
