"
Manic Monday" is a song by the American
pop rock band
The Bangles, and the first single released from their second studio album,
Different Light (1986). It was written by American musician
Prince, using the pseudonym "Christopher". Originally intended for the group
Apollonia 6 in 1984, he offered the song to The Bangles two years later. Lyrically, it describes a woman who is waking up on Monday, wishing it were still Sunday.
