Jet fighter man that's what I am
'Cause tanks go too slow
Airplanes, flying yet I feel so low

See Mark and Ann come watch me land
I'm sure that they would know
Airplanes, flying yet I feel so low

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a
Jet fighter man in the daytime
Jet fighter man in the nighttime
Jet fighter man and the Reds
They go oh

Protect the land that fills my hand
With nothing to show
Airplanes, flying yet I feel so low

And on the day when duty calls
I don't think I will go
Airplanes, flying yet I feel so low

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm a
Jet fighter man in the daytime
Jet fighter man in the nighttime
Jet fighter man and the Reds
They go oh

Jet fighter man in the daytime
Jet fighter man in the nighttime
Jet fighter man and the Reds
They go oh

Jet fighter man in the daytime
Jet fighter man in the nighttime
Jet fighter man and the Reds
They go oh

Jet fighter man
Jet fighter man
Jet fighter man
Ooohh

The Bangles

The Bangles are an American pop rock band originally part of the Paisley Undergound movement that’s been described as “sunshiney Beatles pop”. They are best known for their internationally successful ‘80s singles “Manic Monday”, “Walk Like An Egyptian”, and “Eternal Flame” and have been called “perhaps the biggest all-female rock group of the 1980s”.

When their friend/bassist quit their band The Colours, sisters Debbi & Vicki Peterson’s newspaper ad was answered by Susanna Hoffs. They renamed themselves The Bangs and released “Getting Out Of Hand” on their own record label in 1981. Airplay on KROQ FM attracted Miles Copeland (IRS Records / Go Go’s) who signed them to his short-lived label Faulty Products and became their manager. When a New Jersey band claimed ownership of the name The Bangs, they changed their named to The Bangles and released their self-titled debut EP. Bassist Annette Zilinskas was added to the group in time to be included on the artwork, but not on the recordings. The Bangles then toured with English Beat.

Zilinskas was replaced by ex-Runaways bassist Micki ‘Michael’ Steele before the group’s 1984 debut album All Over The Place, released on Columbia Records. Despite its two singles “Hero Takes A Fall” and the Kimberly Rew-penned “Going Down To Liverpool” modestly charting only in the UK, the album still reached #80 in the US thanks to college radio airplay, MTV exposure, a tour with Cyndi Lauper and good reviews. Prince took an interest in the band after seeing the music video for “Hero Takes A Fall” and offered them two songs – “Manic Monday” and “Jealous Girl”.
