I don't care if Lindsey showed up in black lingerie with a blow-up doll under his arm; I want to see evidence of Stevie shakin' it to Brick House.

The only version of the song I love is Cyndi Lauper's...to me, she brought out the feeling in the song more than anyone else I've heard sing it (and yes, I am including Etta James in there...)

Ok, flame on...

(C'mon, Lisa...I may need you here... )

Am I getting a reputation here or something? I like Stevie's, but it's completely different from Cyn's. Stevie's was sassy and un-Stevie-ish; I never would have expected her to sing it that way (or even that well). Cyndi's is my favourite because... it''s Cyndi's. Vocally impressive, great live, etc.

Couldn't that be said about any cover song? Hardly any version that comes after the original will be considered up to snuff.
