OK, seriously, I cannot believe I didn’t think to kick off the series with this one.  Most fans of the 1980’s already know where JAMM got its name.  But for those of you who might think time began when Bill Clinton was elected in 1992…well, take a listen.

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.

Yup, that’s right.  You take a little bit of Susanna Hoffs, toss in the Peterson sisters and the result is just a virtual website full of fun.  But that’s not all, because right there in the last line of the chorus, “It’s just another manic Monday,”  well, I think you see where I am going with this one.  You can thank the Bangles and their rendition of Prince’s Manic Monday for providing us with the inspiration for our name here at JAMM….er…Just Another Mobile Monday.  And for that, they deserve to be this week’s Station Break.
