It was the same for a lot of people with Natalie Imbruglia’s “Torn” being a cover of this. Blew their minds.

…. I Don’t Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats is about the Cleveland school shooting from 1979…when the shooter was asked why she did it, she said it was simply that she didn’t like Mondays…

It was written by Prince for The Family iirc.

Another interesting thing I know in relation to that song is that Prince once got into a physical confrontation with Sinead O'Connor over the bad language she'd use when performing the song live. :laugh:

the way it used to work was that record companies employed songwriters and then offered the songs to the performers in their stable. Artists were known to release the same song within weeks of each other, and no-one cared

Polly by Nirvana was based on the abduction, rape, and torture of a 14 year old girl back in the 80's.

Some more Sinead trivia

The Red Hot Chili Peppers song "I Could Have Lied" was written by Anthony Kiedis about Sinead O'Connor, he claims he had a relationship with her and she dumped him, Sinead always denied this and said she never had a romantic relationship with him at all :laugh:

“Ah, dear old Anthony from the Chili Peppers, or Walter Mitty as I call him. He claims there was some romance between us, which is absolutely untrue. I hung out with the guy for a few weeks. He thinks he’s God’s gift to women, and I think he had it in his head that I fancied him, which I utterly didn’t. One day, Jake, my son, who was then about three, was very ill, and Anthony gave us a lift to the hospital, which was very kind of him.

Then, inside the hospital, Anthony made a bit of a pass at me. I thought it a bit inappropriate to grope me, given that I was distressed and upset about my son, and I did lose my *****ing head at him. And, as for his claims that he kissed me, it must have been some other bald b*tch, ’cos it certainly wasn’t me. I’d have to wash my mouth out A LOT if I did anything like that, for *****’s sake!”
