Line 26:
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Vicki (medium blonde, though brunette before ''Different Light''), Debbi (pale blonde), Susanna (brunette), and Michael (redhead).
* [[Brown Eyes]]: Susanna Hoffs. Along with her musical ability, she was well known for her enormous brown eyes and the way she glanced around her audience during performances.
* [[Christmas Episode]]: For a few years in the '80s, the Bangles released an annual Christmas/Crimble tape full of improvisation and general goofiness, to members of their fan club, Bangles 'n Mash, in tribute to [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]' similar offerings. In 2004, they released ''Holiday in Bangleonia'', a limited-edition CD with both a re-release of their 1983 recording and a new one for 2004. The Bangles revived the tradition in 2009 with an annual holiday podcast.
* [[Composite Character]]: Anna Lee in "Anna Lee (Sweetheart of the Sun)":
{{quote|'''Susanna''': Interestingly, a character sort of developed in the song. We had all just read ''Girls Like Us'', the book about Carly Simon, Carole King and Joni Mitchell, and we were inspired by it. We sort of made up a portrait of a person based around those women -- it's kind of mythical.}}
Line 34:
* [[Cover Version]]: "Live" by Emmitt Rhodes, "September Gurls" by [[Big Star (band)|Big Star]], "Hazy Shade of Winter" by [[Simon and Garfunkel]]. "Going Down to Liverpool" doesn't really count since it was written for them by Kimberley Rew from [[Katrina and the Waves]].
* [[Days of the Week Song]]: "Manic Monday"
* [[Distaff Counterpart]]: They've said in many interviews that their original goal was to be this to [[The Beatles (band)|The Beatles]]. You can even [[Your Mileage May Vary|match them up]] if you like:
{{quote|'''Susanna''': Paul ("the cute one")
'''Vicki''': John ("the edgy one" or "the smart one")
