I'll Get Killed For This, But ...
I think this is an amazing arrangement of a very cool 80's song:

I think it's awesome! Thanks for posting it. I've always been a huge fan. I've also always thought there was something about her that's hot as hell.

Agreed on all counts, Jim. The nuances in the arrangement are just excellent and she really owns the song. Plus she has really nice tits.GI_Jim wrote:I think it's awesome! Thanks for posting it. I've always been a huge fan. I've also always thought there was something about her that's hot as hell.

Some interesting facts, the bolded being very interesting:

The album earned Lauper Best New Artist at the 27th Grammy Awards in 1985.
Her success continued with the follow-up, True Colors in 1986, which included two Billboard Hot 100 top-ten songs—"True Colors" and "Change of Heart", and earned two nominations at the 29th Grammy Awards.

In 2010, her eleventh studio album, Memphis Blues, topped the Billboard Blues Albums chart for thirteen consecutive weeks at number one, and included five Billboard Digital Blues Songs top-five songs—"Just Your Fool", "Crossroads", "How Blue Can You Get?", "Rollin' and Tumblin'" and "Early in the Mornin'", became her most successful album on the charts since She's So Unusual and True Colors.
Lauper has also released over 40 singles, and as of 2011 had sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, and 1 million DVDs and 20 million singles, which makes her one of the best selling artists of all time.

Also agreed on all counts.....well, I don't really know about the boobies...I haven't seen the results of her latest mammogram.
She's only 16 days younger than my mom!!!

It appears she's lost NOTHING vocally. I'm not a huge fan (or much of a fan at all, to be honest), so maybe I'm not qualified to make that judgment. But damn, she sounds good. I prefer the studio arrangement though. Acoustic arrangements are very hit and miss for me, especially when it comes to AOR and power pop. One of the only artists who can consistently make kickass acoustic versions is Hall & Oates. I've yet to hear a bad arrangement from those guys on that end.
