This day in music history.

April 19, 1986, The Prince song "Kiss" went to number one, where it would stay for two weeks. Number two on the charts was "Manic Monday" by the Bangles. "Manic Monday" was credited to a person named Christopher. It was later revealed that Christopher was actually Prince.
Manic Monday
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 was Sunday
'Cause that's my funday My I don't have to runday
It's just another manic Monday
Have to catch an early train Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane 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
All of the nights Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down
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
