El álbum debut de The Bangles con el sello Columbia, All Over The Place (del año 1984) logró captar las raíces pop del grupo, y captó la atención de Prince, quien escribió "Manic Monday", que llegó al #2 en Estados Unidos con segundo larga duración: Different light.
Mucho se rumoreó una posible relación entre Prince y Susanna pero esta lo desmintió.
El álbum Different Light (1986) estaba mejor acabado que su predecesor, y con la ayuda del #1 "Walk like an Egyptian", la banda se estableció como un éxito en las radios FM y en MTV.
Después, alcanzaron el #2 con la versión de Simon y Garfunkel, "Hazy Shade of Winter", incluida en la banda sonora de la película Less Than Zero, y en el recopilatorio "Grandes éxitos".
El álbum de 1988 titulado Everything fue otro éxito multi-platino, que incluía su sencillo de mayor venta, "Eternal Flame", pero las relaciones de trabajo entre las integrantes del grupo se habían dañado, y el grupo se separó después de este álbum. Susanna Hoffs empezó una carrera en solitario, y Vicki Peterson salió de gira con The Go-Go's y Continental Drifters.
En el 2000, se reunieron para salir de gira, y en 2001-2002, grabaron un álbum nuevo, Doll Revolution. Un cover de "Eternal Flame" hecho por Atomic Kitten alcanzó el #1 en Inglaterra en el 2001. Doll Revolution, con canciones como "Stealing Rosemary", "Ride the Ride", "Nickel Romeo", y el single "Something That You Said", fue lanzado al mercado a inicios del 2003. La canción Doll Revolution fue escrita por Elvis Costello. La versión japonesa del disco presenta canciones adicionales.
En mayo del 2005, The Bangles anunciaron la partida de Michael Steele. La banda no anunció planes para reemplazarla.
MANIAC 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 (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my Funday (oh-woe)
My I don't have to runday (oh)
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.
It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my Funday (oh-woe)
My I don't have to runday (oh)
It's just another manic Monday.
All of my 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" (ba ba ba baaaa)
Time, it goes so fast (when you're having fun).
It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my Funday (oh-woe)
My I don't have to runday (woe)
It's just another manic Monday (oh-woe)
I wish it was Sunday (oh-woe)
'Cause that's my funday (oh)
It's just another manic Monday.
ETERNAL FLAME
Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame.
I believe
It's meant to be, darlin'
I watch you when you are sleeping
You belong with me
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning (burning) an eternal flame.
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh.
Say my name
Sun shines through the rain
A whole life so lonely
And then you come and ease the pain
I don't want to lose this feeling, oh.
Close your eyes
Give me your hand
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Or is this burning an eternal flame.
Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame.
Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Aaaaahh, an eternal flame.
Close your eyes
Give me your hand, darlin'
Do you feel my heart beating
Do you understand
Do you feel the same
Am I only dreaming
Is this burning an eternal flame
WALK LIKE A VIRGIN EGYPTIAN
