November 12 – Girls Just Want To Have Fun

Halfway through the week, and halfway through the November class schedule. Because we can’t expect kids to go to school the week of Thanksgiving. No, I’m not bitter, as I recall being in school the Wednesday before Thanksgiving…

About the song choice: It’s amazing the life cycle of this song. This song was written by Robert Hazard in the late 1970s, and the song was written from the male point of view. Several years later, this song was presented to Cyndi Lauper as she was putting together her first album. Some of the lyrics were changed to be sung from the female point of view, and they brought in some members of the Hooters for the background band to create one fo the most powerful female empowerment anthems of all time.
