The first thing you notice when you see that video the first time is that it is performed by an all-women band. It is a pity that it has to be something special. When I learn music in my class there was as many boys as girls but it seams that if they are not the singer of the band, it is difficult to find they in other places. And an all-woman line-up is something that fans simply appreciate.
The second thing you notice is that is is a Prince song. As I read in Wikipedia, he was after Susana Hoffs (and who could blame him) and the gift was this song that fall down from another project. And the song lived in this other band as #2 in the charts (#1 was Prince's Kiss, not bad from a single artist, don't you think?)
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
