    Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (But At What Cost?)

    This somehow made the song sound like it's about this group of friends rapidly escalating into addiction...
    They know their partying got too out of hand and now all they want to do every day after work is get wasted, unable to stop while their parents cry for them to get their lives together and just please stay safe at home for once. Sheesh.

      It's less like Cyndi Lauper's original and more like K's Choice - Not An Addict.
      And there are more than a few hints of Lana Del Ray as well.

    I heard once that Cindi Lauper originally wanted to do the song as a sad ballad like this and covers like this really convince me me that's what it was written to be

      Check the original by Robert Hazard (sans pinnacle). I wouldn't say it's sad, but definitely angrier than the one we are used to.

    • @Goldfire-tt3dv
      @Goldfire-tt3dv 2 місяці тому +1

      The Melodicka Bros are usually the positive counterexample I use when criticizing bad cover versions that either don't understand the original, or fail to understand how to properly transpose it to the style they're going for with their new version. Recent example: Ofenbach's "Overdrive", which recycles the tune of Kim Wilde's "Cambodia", but despite their stated intention, it's still a sad melody that doesn't fit the new lyrics. Basically, your run-of-the-mill "I'm a lazy hack who just wants to cash in on an existing tune with my own, shitty lyrics, but I don't understand what makes the original version work so I'm shooting myself in the foot in the process."
      Meanwhile, the Melodicka Bros know exactly what they're doing. They know how to adjust the way a song sounds to match the style they're going for, while still keeping the melody recognizable. It's the difference between deliberately going for an absurdly unfitting style for the sake of it (i.e. Melodicka Bros) or just being so musically illiterate that the "new" song simply doesn't work because of the ill-fitting use of an existing melody (i.e. 99% of today's "hits" on the radio).
      If it were up to me, I'd like to hear more Melodicka Bros covers on the radio instead of the umphtiest popsong that recycles the melody of "Blue (Da Ba Dee)", "Popcorn" or any of the craptacular dance covers of songs like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" or "In the End".

    I'm standing on a hazardous pinnacle of musical enjoyment, looking out over the rich, nuanced world this song created, not even wondering how to get down yet because it'll take some time to properly appreciate all the details here. It's sad, but there's a clever self-awareness in it that really makes it work!

    This is a prime example of major vs minor as well overall tone. If the tone changes, so does the meaning. This is actually a beautiful version of the song in basically making it sound like this is what happened "after" the original song. Awesome stuff 😎 🎸 🎶

  • @EmillyOrr

    Honestly, the closest Elena came to a hazardous pinnacle was the swings ride--and that was, what, half a meter from the ground? This was very good, though. Excellent choice for lead vocalist, very evocative background, lovely acoustic work. All around, kudos.

    I mean, the song is kind of depressing! Why is this girl constantly getting berated by her parents? (Also, for some reason Elena's hat reminded me of Les Miserables, only, with the video treatment, kind of like...Eponine, but in the 80s. Love it. Perfect vibes. The key changes are *chef's kiss*. Truly reached a hazardous pinnacle of covers that make me mull on alternate-universes where it was was the original and on a soundtrack somewhere.)
