I would have been happy with something in between this and the original and maybe some third element that makes it quirky - metal core? 60's Psych?

Cyndi Lauper?! Well, encoulez mes vieilles bottes! Who'd have guessed it? A very nice song, 7 from the Nottingham jury. And not at all influenced by her red dress and sultry expression ;-)

I never really appreciated this song until I heard this version.  Thanks, RP!

Great reference. :)

I lost my Running On Empty CD in a move a couple of years ago. Your comment reminded me I've got to pick it up again.

How about "Rosie" by Jackson Browne?

Most likely, just trying to please some angsty fans.  You know.. you can please some people some of the time,etc....  Doesn't harm her talent and legacy as far as I am concerned.

That one's also been covered by Bowling for Soup and Fountains of Wayne, both of whom did an admirable job, though you wouldn't know it by the ratings — I think the FoW version got a 3.8, which is beyond purple on the playlist page (ultraviolet?).

Just say no to "bopping."  Every time you "bop" God kills a kitten.

For the kittens.

Wow, I just looked at the rating distribution for this track and was surprised at how all over the map it is, moreso than any other I have seen on RP. Usually, it will gradually increase to peak at the majority. Not in this case. Interesting.

I give it a 5 for the sake of reminiscence.

C'mon, ya gotta see the humor here. Look at the cover art. She's looking like "do you mind, I'm trying to get busy here!"

The song rates a 2, +1 for the humor, final rating 3.

This is from a whole album of acoustic versions of her songs, a DOUBLE album at that. This isn't a one-off to poke fun at herself.

Yes, I am afraid it is as bad as it sounds.


Oh, I'm not saying it's not BAD, 'cause I STILL don't like it much. I'm just saying there is NO WAY Ms. Lauper is so stupid as to think an 'angsty' acoustic version of 'She-Bop' is 'art'. It's a JOKE, people! Double album notwithstanding, this one is a JOKE.
