I have always loved Maddy.Especiay when I was controlling sound at Theatre Clwyd.

[@Ymagier]

That's because this tune *was* originally a dance - it gets pretty anergetic too!

[@Pangael]

Anyone who thinks Maddy has gotten 'too old' or has lost her voice: try singing the chorus with her.

[@jjzuc]

Great breath control!

[@sandramorey2529]

If you use it, you won't lose it. It is like any muscle. Practice & remember to breathe correctly.
