Saturday Quick Quiz: Music in Minneapolis

[davidcalgary29]

Prince enters the Billboard 200 Album chart this week in the number three position with "Musicology". It's his highest-ever debut on the chart, and his highest-ranking album since the soundtrack to "Batman" hit no. 1 in 1989.

 

Prince has moved to Toronto, but he remains one of Minneapolis' most famous sons. As a tribute to Prince's accomplishment, the first person to answer the three following Minneapolis-themed questions, in this thread, will win three Atari cartridges.

 

1. This theatre's marquee is a landmark for the Minneapolist district in which it's located; a song with the same name was a no. 5 R&B hit for Prince in 1980. What is it?

 

2. In what no. 1 hit does Janet Jackson exuberantly exclaim "Minneapolis -- let's go!"?

 

3. This landlocked Minnesota surf/garage band took two minor hits from the Rivingtons ("Papa Oom Mow Mow", "The Bird") and combined them into a massive hit that scored with teens everywhere in 1964. Who were they, and what was the name of their hit single?
