This song was written by Prince and he gave it to The Bangles. Prince was a huge supporter of female artists over the years, and was an early fan of The Bangles. This song jump-started their career. Great group...love their vocals and I don't think they get enough credit for their musical abilities.
Love you guys. Amber...Please,Please PLEASE give Gloria Estafan and The Miami Sound Machine a listen. "Conga," "Get On Your Feet," and "The Rhythm Is Gonna Get You." Lots of horns, energy, and FUN. You'll love it.
OMG, Yes! When I did walk for exercise (years ago), these songs made me want to move. (And if you knew how much I hated exercise, that's saying a lot!)
Still wanting to see you guys react to Harden My Heart by Quarterflash for female Friday. Be sure to do this live version, th-cam.com/video/qkO7IXOGyDU/w-d-xo.html, so you can see Orinda Sue "Rindy" Ross play that great saxophone intro. Amber will really love it!
@@TonyM1961 It was written for a female group he created called Apollonia 6. He changed his mind and decided to give it to The Bangles because he had a crush on Susannah and it gave him an excuse to be around her and win her over.
Wilson Phillips,-(Hold on) all girl group. Bananarama,-(Cruel Summer) all girl group Macy Gray,-(I try) female singer with a unique voice. Just a few suggestions. I was on a roll sorry.
Prince and Bob Dylan are The Simpsons of the music world. Always find out they wrote it (Simpsons did it). Wagon Wheel was actually a Bob Dylan unreleased original which blew my mind.
@@shaundgb7367 I like the song with him singing it never liked it before hearing him sing it. He wrote a ton of songs for a boat load of people even Kenny Rogers so the man could write he knew what he was doing. Go look up the long list of people he wrote songs for.
If you want to hear the Bangles rock out try their song "hazy shade of winter" . It is a cover of a late 60s rock song and it was the them song on the sound track for the movie "less than zero".
@@BlackHatCinephile they've listened to walk like an egyptian with their girls. They say that at the start and they also said it when they listened to hazy days of winter.
Amber you need to dive in to The Go Go's Our Lips Are Sealed or The Runaways Cherry Bomb it has Joan Jet and Lita Ford in this Band you will like it thanks
I second the nomination for "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips. The group name is derived from the last names of the group members, Wendy and Carny Wilson (daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys) and Chyna Phillips (daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of the Mamas' and the Papas') I think the song "Hold On" was supposed to be a message of encouragement for Brian Wilson who suffered from depression (among other things.)
The Bangles have so many great songs: In Your Room, Hazy Shade of Winter, If She Knew What She Wants, Walking Down Your Street.... You should dive into that rabbit hole. Excellent, underrated band.
I am a Toriboi❣❣❣ Cornflake Girl is a great starter🥰 Love to see them react to Little Earthquakes too. J would love the piano and figuring her songs out.
I was *obsessed* with Tori in high school… anything Tori would be okay with me! I agree, “Cornflake Girl” is a good starter. Or even “Tear In Your Hand.”
Great song for Female Friday is ‘Alone’ by Heart, these two sisters are something else. Their tribute to Led Zeppelin’s ‘Stairway to Heaven’ is brilliant.
So funny you say that. Back in the day got to see The Bangles for free at The Palace in LA. A local Top-40 radio station would sponsor a weekly free concert, and I went to this show. When they got to this song, Prince came out and ripped a guitar solo that absolutely killed. Yes, he wrote this for the band, but I think he wrote it specifically for Susanna Hoffs (the lead singer on the song), cuz they had the hots for each other! 🤟🔥
Three songs for any particular Monday: "I Don't Like Mondays" by The Boomtown Rats; "Monday, Monday" by The Mamas and the Papas; "Rainy Days and Mondays" by The Carpenters.
And a song about Monday till Friday: Friday on My Mind by The Easybeats (all men). Live version (French TV, 1967) has great sound and is so much fun to watch!
In California in 1979 there was a school shooting. When the girl who did it was asked why, she said "I don't like Mondays". I'll find it and post it below.
Bangles: "Eternal Flame" (Their other #1 hit besides “Walk Like An Egyptian”), "If She Knew What She Wants", "In Your Room" & "Walking Down Your Street".
Couple quick points: " Walk Like..." is a unique Bangles song in that each of the main singers take turns with the verses. Susanna who sang this had the last verse. 2) Prince so liked their style he wrote this song specially for them. Another side? Their cover of Simon and Garfunkle's "Hazy Shade of Winter" totally rocks.
I love your look Amber when she lets go make some noise and the girls all choirs wth that cute note classic great to watch you both. Listen to In Your Room you'll like it.
For "Female Friday" I strongly suggest the band 10,000 Maniacs. Natalie Merchant (former) lead singer is a force of nature! "These Are Days" is a wondeful joyous song of hope. "What's The Matter Here?" is a tough song about abuse but it has an important theme. and finally "Because The Night" is their biggest hit, classic cover of Patti Smit hit. There probably two dozen excellent 10,000 Maniacs cjoices, these are three favorites.
Great suggestion. “Because the Night”, “These are the Days”, “What’s the Matter Here” and “I’m Not the Man”, are all great. In fact, pretty much everything off of “10,000 Maniacs: Unplugged” is great.
Good suggestion! I haven't heard What's The Matter Here? for years. Must go find my 10,000 Maniacs CD now. (yes CD because it's just better quality than any version you'll find on line). 😉
All great songs and choices, I would also suggest 'Abou the Weather', a great song that mixes an upbeat pop sound with deep lyrics about fighting depression.
If I remember correctly, Prince wrote this song for the Bangles. I have a suggestion for Female Friday her name is Angela Bofill and the songs I recommend is, "I Try" and "This Time I'll be Sweeter". Amber, you'll love the horns in "I Try".
Susanna Hoffs is the lead vocalist. On Walk like an Egyptian each of the girls sang a verse, I think Susanna sang the 3rd verse. Most of their songs she is the lead
Fun fact: Susanna Hoffs was actually in a movie back in the ‘80’s called “The All-Niter”. Now that you’re hooked on The Bangles, you need to check out The Go-Go’s. The Bangles probably wouldn’t have happened without the prior success of The Go-Go’s. Try “Our Lips Are Sealed” or, better yet, “We Got the Beat” (their signature song). Another female fronted band you might like is Divinyls. The song they’re best known for is “I Touch Myself” (just make sure the kids are out of the room…).
I'm sure everyone is already going to tell you this, but this song was written by Prince and became The Bangle's breakthrough hit. Check out their ballad ETERNAL FLAME.
The band members actually rotated vocals on "Walk Like an Egyptian," with each one taking a verse. So you did hear lead singer Susanna Hoffs on that one, but briefly. To hear a different side of the Bangles, you want "Eternal Flame." Next Stops: Quarterflash, "Harden My Heart" Scandal, "Goodbye to You" Pet Benatar, "Shadows of the Night"
@@Jameson_Visual_Arts_Studios they may release them in a different order. Either way it's still a classic, and was a generation before as well with Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel.
Three of the Bangles took lead voice on different verses of Walk Like An Egyptian. Susanna Hoffs was their usual lead (Prince was in love with her and wrote this song for them), but they also all four sang great harmonies. "Be With You" is somewhat obscure but really a great song written and performed by them.
He wasn’t in love with this Susannah like everyone thought. He was in love with Susannah Melvoin, the twin sister of Wendy Melvoin his guitarist in The Revolution.
Check out Prince singing this song. It’s a rehearsal practice as he gave this song away. But it’s fun to go down the whole Prince Journey. Somehow I always knew when it was a Prince song regardless of who sang the song. He definitely had a sound
Eternal Flame is one of their slower songs. Its also an amazing song. Susanna's voice is so peaceful in this song. If possible you should check out the "Susanna Hoffs - Eternal flame (Live NRK Wiese 1996)" performance. Where its just her voice and an acoustic guitar. So good.
When Prince wrote this song, he had another jewel called 'Kiss'. Manic Monday hit #2 on The Charts and really solidified The Bangles as a top group. Meanwhile, as this song reached #2, Prince placed #1 above them with 'Kiss'. Man, that guy was a super talented writer for sure, as well as being a giving person, for allowing Susannah Hoffs to have Manic Monday for her aspiring young group. The original name of The Bangles was The Bang, but then they found out a New Jersey group already had it, so they went to The Bangles which actually fits a girl group even better.
If you like songs about disliking mondays, check out i don't like mondays by the boomtown rats...not a female group but good song based on a sad true story event
Eternal Flame is my fav BANGLES tune.
I really enjoyed listening to your cover of Moon River
@@itsmedino Thank you so much!!!
A must
Yes oh God yesterday
Not only my fav Bangles song but also one of my all time favs. Really wish they'd react to it
Susanna Hoff's voice is incredible.
And she did sing in the video Walk Like An Egyptian, they took turns singing lead.
Susana Hoffs is incredible, period.
Her everything is incredible.
I like her Solo-Album "when you're a boy"
amazing guitar player too
"Eternal Flame" is their best song. It really shows her range.
Agree
another catchy song of theirs is Hero Takes A Fall ....
Isn’t that the one Prince wrote for Susannah? Like, legend says he had a crush on her.
This is the one they're looking for.
Yes! That’s my favorite Bangles song.
This song was written by Prince and he gave it to The Bangles. Prince was a huge supporter of female artists over the years, and was an early fan of The Bangles. This song jump-started their career. Great group...love their vocals and I don't think they get enough credit for their musical abilities.
Prince gave them this song because he had the hots for Suzanna Hoffs and wanted to get into her pants lol. It's the truth.
Once you know that it sounds so much like Prince.
So Prince!
@@johnpop5066yep
Yeah well, I’ll bet my hat he ‘bang-led’ every one of them…🤣
I dont know if there is a more beautiful woman in the world than Susanna Hoffs the lead singer. Shes an 11/10.
She's my Eternal Flame.
Yes, still have a crush lol. Btw, she's very active on Instagram
No. No there is not. Those doe eyes.
The Bangles - In Your Room
Yes Taylor Dayne. She is a must. "Eternal Flame" is my favorite BANGLES song.
Mine too.
I've suggested Taylor Dayne a couple of time. Love Will Bring You Back is a must hear. Hopefully they will get to her soon!
Agree "Eternal Flame" is great and shows they can do ballads too
Eternal Flame is one of my all time favs. Would rather they had picked it instead of Manic Monday.
heart of stone by taylor dayne, amber will appreciate the middle bit
Love you guys. Amber...Please,Please PLEASE give Gloria Estafan and The Miami Sound Machine a listen. "Conga," "Get On Your Feet," and "The Rhythm Is Gonna Get You." Lots of horns, energy, and FUN. You'll love it.
i’ve been waiting for Gloria too like so many artists… they’re going to boogie their butts off to the Miami Sound Machine.
OMG, Yes! When I did walk for exercise (years ago), these songs made me want to move. (And if you knew how much I hated exercise, that's saying a lot!)
My favorite by Gloria is "I See Your Smile".
Conga 🔥
No doubt they will love it!
Susanna has the most mesmerizing eyes I've ever seen. She is gorgeous.
Susanna Hoffs...what beauty. She is still performing, looks absolutely amazing in her 60's. Lovely, talented; the real deal.
You forgot. You did hazy shade of winter by them too.
Can't believe they forgot that reaction, they loved it so much. Should've double checked on their reaction history before reviewing the bangles again
Another song by them, that I like is: "If She Knew What She Wants".
That's a really good song.
Great suggestion too!
Great song. Like this one, it wasn't written by a member of the band. Susanna Hoffs carries so much emotion in everything she sings.
That's probably my favorite Bangles song.
Yes! I'll take that any day over "Eternal Flame."
If you want another side of the Bangles, try Hazy Shade of Winter, their cover of the Simon and Garfunkel original.
They already did that one
that was a lame cover
I love that song
Love that song❤
@@santanamauricio I totally disagree. But, that's what makes the 🌎 go 'round! :)
One of my favorite bands of all time.
My favorite Bangles songs 'James', 'Doll Revolution', 'Bell Jar', 'Hero Takes A Fall', 'Going Down To Liverpool', 'Live', 'Glitter Years'.
No more Manic Monday for us!! Being retired means every day is Saturday!! We love it!!!
It's the opposite for me. Self-employed, every day is Monday, 7 days a week.
Still wanting to see you guys react to Harden My Heart by Quarterflash for female Friday. Be sure to do this live version, th-cam.com/video/qkO7IXOGyDU/w-d-xo.html, so you can see Orinda Sue "Rindy" Ross play that great saxophone intro. Amber will really love it!
I keep suggesting Quarterflash too. Someone who loves saxophone so much MUST try them out, right?
YES...I keep suggesting the live version of Harden My Heart, too!
Yes
Amber will love a woman playing a saxophone...
I second the nomination for "Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash.
We need “10,000 Maniacs” on a Female Friday!! Great band!!
I wish I could like this more than once.
Agreed! And "Trouble Me" is one of their best songs with an amazing video.
Funnily the only two songs of theirs I know are covers - Because the Night (Patti Smith) and More than This (Roxy Music).
@@fnjesusfreak But we don't have to rule out covers, do we?
@@brigidm6279 Of course not. ;p
To me, 10,000 Maniacs' version of "Because the Night" is the definitive one.
this is by far my favorite Bangles hit......
Fun fact: this was written by Prince.
You must listen to Eternal Flame to appreciate their talent and harmony 🔥
Written by Prince specifically for them, with their voices and harmony in mind from beginning to end
@@TonyM1961 Did Prince have a crush on Susannah Hoffs? Wasn't that the story?
@@rocketguardian2001 Yes, he did. He gave it to the band in hopes of winning her over
@@TonyM1961 It was written for a female group he created called
Apollonia 6. He changed his mind and decided to give it to The Bangles because he had a crush on Susannah and it gave him an excuse to be around her and win her over.
Prince actually had a crush on Susana Hoffs and gave the song to them hoping it would help
Wilson Phillips,-(Hold on) all girl group.
Bananarama,-(Cruel Summer) all girl group
Macy Gray,-(I try) female singer with a unique voice.
Just a few suggestions. I was on a roll sorry.
They'll definitely love Wilson Phillips's Hold On.
They've already reacted to the girls' parents, may as well continue on in the families.
@@chriso6719 They will be surprised to know who's their dad.😎
@@joshsmith302 Both Dads and Chynna's Mom.
@@chriso6719 Biting my tongue to keep from letting it out.
I loved this song when it came out. Many years later I found out Prince wrote it. Then I knew why I love it.
I can hear him singing and playing it
Prince and Bob Dylan are The Simpsons of the music world. Always find out they wrote it (Simpsons did it).
Wagon Wheel was actually a Bob Dylan unreleased original which blew my mind.
But he never boasted about it or any of the other songs he wrote for other musical artists. Pure class. A Prince.
Prince also wrote "Nothing compares 2 u" sung by Sinead O'Connor
@@MikeB12800 his demo is on the Prince Originals album along with various other songs he gave to others if anyone wants to check it out
Some Friday you'll have to show Chrissie Hynde some love.
Yes, I'll Stand By You by The Pretenders 😊
@@drea4195 Brass in Pocket, Don't get me Wrong, Back on the Chain Gang 🙂
Hazy Shade of Winter...
Best cover of the song.
These ladies are all musicians and play Their own instruments . Pretty cool
The Bangles Eternal Flame is classy song that showcases their voices so well
Ironically written by Prince, but can you imagine him just taking it easy on any day? No.
Nope lol my man ran around too much.
It's 1999 slowed down with different lyrics.
@@shaundgb7367 It sounds better with him singing it never liked the bangles.

Weird that they have no recollection of it? They really liked it, but obviously it didn't leave much of an impression, lol.
@@ckobo84 They're mixing up the song title with Walk Like An Egyptian, which they actually haven't reacted to yet.
@@BlackHatCinephile they've listened to walk like an egyptian with their girls. They say that at the start and they also said it when they listened to hazy days of winter.
Prince! Another one of his platinum songs for another! Walk Like An Egyptian and Hazy Shade of Winter are my fave Bangles songs.
"Eternal Flame" and "Hazy Shades of Winter" are a must.
Amber you need to dive in to The Go Go's Our Lips Are Sealed or The Runaways Cherry Bomb it has Joan Jet and Lita Ford in this Band you will like it thanks
Always loved Susanna Hoff's voice.
Another great song for Female Friday is "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips. The harmonizing will blow your mind!
I second the nomination for "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips. The group name is derived from the last names of the group members, Wendy and Carny Wilson (daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys) and Chyna Phillips (daughter of John and Michelle Phillips of the Mamas' and the Papas') I think the song "Hold On" was supposed to be a message of encouragement for Brian Wilson who suffered from depression (among other things.)
I vote this one too!! Please please
That song got me through some shit in junior high
The "Hold On" video ain't too shabby neither 🥰
I love that song!
The Bangles - Hazy Shade of Winter. The Bangles are underrated.
Radio used to blast this every Monday morning. Helped cheer up an otherwise miserable morning :)
This was written by Prince. Always loved this song.
Dusty Springfield - "The Look Of Love" and/or "The Son Of A Preacher Man". Her voice defined sultry.
Yeah it would be great to see some reaction to Dusty. Her voice was versatile and so strong. A real 60s icon whose music still sounds amazing today
The Bangles have so many great songs: In Your Room, Hazy Shade of Winter, If She Knew What She Wants, Walking Down Your Street.... You should dive into that rabbit hole. Excellent, underrated band.
They also did a cover of "Where Were You When I Needed You" which was originally by The Grass Roots.
Prince was next-level. He wrote for so many people
Susana Hoffs was my biggest crush in the 80’s. And she still looks amazing today for her age
"Manic Monday" was written by the legendary Prince. Another Bangles song you definitely need to hear is "Eternal Flame".
Tori Amos "Cornflakes Girl" is a Female Friday must.
"Eternal Flame" by the Bangles is the ultimate love song
I second Tori Amos "Cornflake Girl".
The song title "Cornflake Girl" is compelling... everyone thinks she's a cornflake girl but the line goes NEVER WAS a cornflake girl 🤣
I am a Toriboi❣❣❣ Cornflake Girl is a great starter🥰 Love to see them react to Little Earthquakes too. J would love the piano and figuring her songs out.
I was *obsessed* with Tori in high school… anything Tori would be okay with me! I agree, “Cornflake Girl” is a good starter. Or even “Tear In Your Hand.”
Yep Eternal Flame and Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You are 2 ULTIMATE love songs!!!
Great song for Female Friday is ‘Alone’ by Heart, these two sisters are something else. Their tribute to Led Zeppelin’s ‘Stairway to Heaven’ is brilliant.
Ann has such a powerful voice. No matter how many times I see the Stairway to Heaven tribute, I always get goosebumps!
What about "Crazy on You"... a terrific song by Heart!
Eternal Flame. Best song they ever did.
The Coors are another group consisting of 3 sisters and a brother that are very talented.
Prince wrote this song for this group.
Prince had so many hits for other singers....

@@doorran Hellz yeah! 👍
GOGO'S Our Lips Are Sealed
"In My Room" and "If She Knew What She Wants" are great Bangles songs. ❤️
The Bangles were great singers. All 4 of them.
Walk like an Egyptian was sung by all of them, one after another. Susanna sang the last couplet.
Another Prince classic..even has the same melodic verse as in "1999".
Eternal Flame is the showpiece.
Three songs for any particular Monday: "I Don't Like Mondays" by The Boomtown Rats; "Monday, Monday" by The Mamas and the Papas; "Rainy Days and Mondays" by The Carpenters.
And a song about Monday till Friday: Friday on My Mind by The Easybeats (all men). Live version (French TV, 1967) has great sound and is so much fun to watch!
A very depressing story behind "I Don't Like Mondays."
@@garymcgregor5951 Tell it!
In California in 1979 there was a school shooting. When the girl who did it was asked why, she said "I don't like Mondays". I'll find it and post it below.
@@garymcgregor5951 I just watched a video about that story. Sad all around!
Eternal Flame should be next!!
Should have been done first! Its amazing 🤩
Hazy shade of winter by the bangles is so hypnotic. Do it man.
One of my favorites of all time.
"Going Down to Liverpool" is a bit of a banger by the Bangles.
My fave!!
Good Call
I prefer the Katrina and the Waves version
And Leonard Nimoy was in the video!
Bangles: "Eternal Flame" (Their other #1 hit besides “Walk Like An Egyptian”), "If She Knew What She Wants", "In Your Room" & "Walking Down Your Street".
Couple quick points: " Walk Like..." is a unique Bangles song in that each of the main singers take turns with the verses.

I love your look Amber when she lets go make some noise and the girls all choirs wth that cute note classic great to watch you both. Listen to In Your Room you'll like it.
You should check out her reactions on the reaction video for Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"!
"I have 3 kids-- every day is manic!" As a fellow mom of 3, all I can say is AMEN!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Taylor Dayne would be another great 80's artist to react to...
OMG - - - Tell It To My Heart !!!
Yes 🙌🏼
Oh yeah! Give it to us Momma! 👍😁
"I'll Always Love You" is my favorite
'Love Will Lead You Back'
Written by Prince
The wonderful voice of Suzanna Hoffs.
My first concert!! Back to 1985-1986!! KEEP ON Rockin!
For "Female Friday" I strongly suggest the band 10,000 Maniacs. Natalie Merchant (former) lead singer is a force of nature! "These Are Days" is a wondeful joyous song of hope. "What's The Matter Here?" is a tough song about abuse but it has an important theme. and finally "Because The Night" is their biggest hit, classic cover of Patti Smit hit.

Good suggestion! I haven't heard What's The Matter Here? for years. Must go find my 10,000 Maniacs CD now. (yes CD because it's just better quality than any version you'll find on line). 😉
Going down to Liverpool
All great songs and choices, I would also suggest 'Abou the Weather', a great song that mixes an upbeat pop sound with deep lyrics about fighting depression.
Great song .. suggest:
Be With You
In Your Room
Eternal Flame
In Your Room is a great song.
If I remember correctly, Prince wrote this song for the Bangles. I have a suggestion for Female Friday her name is Angela Bofill and the songs I recommend is, "I Try" and "This Time I'll be Sweeter". Amber, you'll love the horns in "I Try".

I second the nomination for The Go-Go's. Best songs are:
"Our Lips Are Sealed"
"We Got The Beat"
"Vacation"
2021 rock and roll Hall of famers The Go-Go's
They did We Got The Beat
The Bangles would have succeeded regardless, they had the backing of Prince. Hoffs was a protege of his.
I watched that movie just because she was in it.
I'm sure everyone is already going to tell you this, but this song was written by Prince and became The Bangle's breakthrough hit. Check out their ballad ETERNAL FLAME.

This was written by Prince and given to Susanna. Which explains why it's so good.
Walking Down Your Street and In Your Room are 2 of my favorites!
Should you do more Bangles, "If She Knew What She Wants" is another side, with some reflective lyrics and a more ethereal sound.
Prince wrote this song for them. He dated Suzanna Hoffs in the 80’s. He wrote many songs for many artists.
They did not date. He did like her though.

Eternal Flame is an even more mellow tune. You guys are awesome!

A different light is a good song as well. Great group.
Glad you did this, I love Susanna Hoffs so much it hurts. (the lead singer)
Gotta 2nd the Gloria Estefan with Miami sound machine.
Susanna Hoffs is the voice your hearing sing lead in this song and yes her voice is amazing. Eternal Flame is another song of theirs you would like :)
Another great song written by Prince.
"Eternal Flame" is absolutely essential!
They all sing, but Susanna Hoffs' is the most distinct and prettiest, in my opinion.
Eternal Flame is one of their slower songs. Its also an amazing song. Susanna's voice is so peaceful in this song.
If possible you should check out the "Susanna Hoffs - Eternal flame (Live NRK Wiese 1996)" performance. Where its just her voice and an acoustic guitar. So good.
Try Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get Me Down by The Carpenters or Monday, Monday by the Mamas and the Papas. Both would work for Female Friday.
My favourite by them and written by the one and only Prince.
'If she knew what she wants' is their best song
When Prince wrote this song, he had another jewel called 'Kiss'. Manic Monday hit
#2 on The Charts and really solidified The Bangles as a top group. Meanwhile, as
this song reached #2, Prince placed #1 above them with 'Kiss'. Man, that guy was
a super talented writer for sure, as well as being a giving person, for allowing
Susannah Hoffs to have Manic Monday for her aspiring young group. The original
name of The Bangles was The Bang, but then they found out a New Jersey group
already had it, so they went to The Bangles which actually fits a girl group even better.
If you like songs about disliking mondays, check out i don't like mondays by the boomtown rats...not a female group but good song based on a sad true story event
Yes this is a Great song to react to. I loved it when I was young. Even more meaningful when you know the story behind the song.
Try “Eternal Flame” by the Bangles
Prince wrote this for Hoffs went Platinum!!!!!!! Rock n rolll!!!!!!!
Another great Prince written tune!
