More about this title
About the Artist: Cyndi Lauper
Cyndi Lauper emerged as a defining voice of 1980s pop, blending new wave sensibilities with infectious pop hooks and genuine emotional depth. Her fearless approach to songwriting and performance established her as both a commercial force and an artist unafraid to challenge conventions, making her catalog enduringly relevant in music education settings.
Why we love this
Paul Langford's mash-up captures the DNA of both originals while creating something fresh enough to excite young singers. The arrangement gives women's groups a contemporary, high-energy vehicle that demands full vocal and physical commitment without sacrificing musicality.
What to expect
Pure celebration and joy. The arrangement captures the infectious optimism of both originals while maintaining the dance-pop energy that made them chart-toppers. Your singers will feel the freedom to move, connect with the audience, and genuinely enjoy the moment on stage.
Who it's for
Women's choirs, female-identifying ensembles, and show choir programs looking for crowd-pleasing contemporary material with built-in recognition. This works equally well for high school groups seeking a modern closer or college ensembles building a pop-focused concert.
How to get the most out of it
- Treat the transitions between the two songs as staging opportunities. The mash-up structure naturally creates moments for formation changes, spotlights, or ensemble dynamics that enhance the overall impact.
- Lock in the rhythmic pocket early in rehearsal. These songs thrive on groove and pocket rather than strict metronomic precision, so your singers need to feel the pulse in their bodies before layering in choreography.
- Balance the vocal lines so no single melody dominates. Both songs carry iconic melodies that audiences recognize instantly; blend them thoughtfully so listeners can follow both threads.
How to use it
Reserve this for your finale or a dedicated pop segment in a concert where audience engagement matters. The mash-up structure and choreography potential make it ideal for festival appearances, community concerts, or showcase performances where entertainment value amplifies your ensemble's musicianship.
Skills your students will build
- Navigating smooth transitions between contrasting song structures
- Coordinating vocal phrasing with choreography and stage movement
- Blending multiple melodic lines within a thick harmonic texture
- Sustaining rhythmic accuracy and groove through stylistic demands of pop music
