How are they one hit wonder when they had multiple hits. One hit wonder means what it says 1 hit. They had 3 albums.

@@wvumountaineerlairwithkenn4831 I think most people just mean their most popular cuz there's so many songs that a group or singer will have wrote and they don't know it's them.

The Bangles cover of Hazy Shade of Winter is imo one of the best covers ever.

@@laziojohnny79 Even Paul Simon (who originally wrote and released it) thought they did a better job with it.

@@netmeg I know and, as I stated, agree. They did with this song what Johnny Cash did with Nine Inch Nails' 'Hurt'.

Notice how these young guys picked up on her vibe. 😄

@@louieflash7190 Can you blame them? She's stunning.

Her side eye cost me boxers back in the day.

Susanna Hoffs in her late 60’s still is a banger

The Bangles is an all-female band. Their hits include Walk like an Egyptian, Manic Monday, A Hazy Shade of Winter, and more. They were discovered by Prince.

Yeah, I remember that they were doing it everywhere. Even TV commercials.

I remember us kids always did the Egyptian dances when this came out

Blondie’s Rapture.

@@markherring3513 don’t say Christopher Walken lol ha!!!

@@Lady_Embalmer007 there would be a lot of cowbell in the song if it was written by Christopher Walken.

Nope, wasnt Prince

Everyone was in love with her.

" I WANT MY MTV" -the OG version!! It was the coolest thing ever on TV. Too bad it didn't last 😥

Hazy was a cover from them.

agreed

The Bangles were NOT a one hit wonder!

" Susanna Hoffs (vocals and rhythm guitar) was a childhood friend of theirs" ... This isn't true. They shared many of the same influences, but didn't know one another. "Upon her graduation from UC Berkeley in 1980, she set out to find a new band. How did she do this? By making a flyer, as was the style at the time. ... Sue went on to place an ad in The Recycler, a weekly classified newspaper, with her dream band freshly formed in her mind, but only one other girl ever responded to her ad; Annette Zilinskas. It would be in yet another ad placed in The Recycler that Hoffs would find her band. This classified ad had been placed by Lynn Elkind, the recently departed guitarist of Those Girls who remained a roommate of the Peterson sisters, but it would be with a strange twist of fate that Vicki would be the one to pick up the phone at the other end of the line on 9 December 1980 (Lynn was out). There was an immediate connection, a sense of familiarity as they spoke about their mutual love for John Lennon. The murder of the Beatle just a day earlier had sent shock waves throughout the world and was a central catalyst in propelling the future bandmates deeper into music. Sue and Vicki shared the same emotions as they spoke on the phone at length, consoling one another over the shock loss and many other things. There was an immediate connection, a sync, but ultimately, Vicki felt that ethically she couldn’t steal a possible bandmate from Lynn. Sue was, after all, responding to the Recycler ad placed by Lynn. Lynn soon contacted Sue but it was clear that the vital spark of chemistry required just wasn’t there. Weeks later and now guilt free of commitments, Vicki reconnected with Sue. The remaining members of Those Girls now had a possible bandmate. Meeting for the first time at Susanna’s house in her parent’s converted garage in Brentwood in January 1981, the Petersons named the bands that influenced them. They shared knowledge of The Hollies, Arthur Lee and Love, they knew who The Grass Roots were, an essential ingredient as Sue later noted, and the chemistry was instantaneous. It clicked. They held an intense love for The Beatles, another long standing influence, their own fixation mirroring Hoffs. The Petersons listened to demo tapes from Sue’s Unconscious era with David Roback and exchanged their own. Sue’s cassettes featured The Velvet Underground’s ‘I’ll Be Your Mirror’ and some originals including a surf instrumental entitled ‘Speedway’. They then played together for the first time. Harmonies came easy for the trio. The Petersons taught Sue the two-chord progression of Jefferson Airplane’s ‘White Rabbit’ and everything else came together. The Colours were born virtually overnight. ...The name change from The Colours to The Bangs was gutsy and short with recognisable linkage to the sixties, and unfolded in August 1981. ...Debbi worked in retail, Sue in a ceramics factory and Vicki at Laird International Studios - they recorded their two-track debut for $35 at Radio Tokyo, a ten dollar an hour studio in November 1981. ...The success of the debut single sparked a demand for live shows and subsequently meant that the band had to evolve into a quartet. With Susanna’s ad still running in The Recycler, she was reconnected with Annette Zilinskas. As a rhythm guitarist and singer, Annette agreed to hone her skills on bass when asked. The Bangs now had their fourth member. ...The Bangs’ slowly simmering popularity captured the attention of another band and another Bangs. This New Jersey band were all-male and they wanted to retain their name after releasing an EP on East West Records. The New Wave band desired $40,000 for rights to the name. This served the band with a dilemma of a forced and sudden name change... which delayed the release of the EP until 25 January 1983 as the release artwork had to be amended. The Bangs couldn’t, however, completely erase the roots of what they had solidified across the local music scene during the past year so they retained the ‘Bang’ and added a few letters. They were now Bangles."

@@vidpie Well thanks for the in depth correction! 🙂
