    The 20 Worst Lyrics Ever: No. 11

    "I wish it was Sunday
    That's my fun day
    My I-don't-have-to-run day"

    --The Bangles' 'Manic Monday'
    (lyrics by Prince)

    We're cool with the easy rhymes of Monday to Sunday, and even Sunday to fun day, but "I-don't-have-to-run day"? No, now Prince is just messing with us.

    I thought I was going to be really weird by adding the comment, "I LIKE AND UNDERSTAND THIS LYRIC!"

    Obviously, I'm not alone, and everyone thinks the line is just fine and it's meaning clear! HOORAY!

    I have always related to this song. No rushing to class, work or anyplace else. I think that most of can relate that Monday's just plain stink.
    Prince is a very talented artist.

    Have you lived in a vaccuum during your entire pathetically self absorbed life?!? Obviously, you've never experienced the reality behind "gotta run."

    I wish it were Sunday= day of rest
    cuz that's my fun-day= no work
    and I don't have to run-day = be busy like people normally are during the week.
