Girls Just Wonna Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper

 

At your risk.

It was heard today on Easy 97.2 MHz FM radio in Athens, Hellas.

It sounds amazing played on the piano too. Key is F sharp major, so you have all those nice black keys.

The bass code is very interesting, like good Bach's music.

For example from 3:22.

Bass F# with A# C# F#

Bass B with A# D# F# ie B major 7th

Bass C# with A# C# F#

Bass F# with A# C# F#

Bass B with A# D# F#

Bass C# with A# C# D# F#

Bass F# with A# C# F#

(this is from memory there may be mistakes as it was figured out on the piano about an hour ago).

It stands alone very well as only bass and melody played together on the piano, bass which is of course only one note at the time played with left hand and melody which is also one note at the time played with right hand. the intervals are so interesting and out of the ordinary. it is a worthy addition  to the Melody Book.

This music is very close to the Bach instruction to his students figured bass code found at the appendix of the Bach's biography by Spitta.

It is likely that in a few centuries people of the future may regard such songs as the classical music of the 20th century, it may be already happening.

It is interesting to note again that in music bass or melody are by definition one note at the time, just one note.
