Okay I think I first heard this at the Mount Pleasant / With Moths / Rhinoceros extravaganza at Watusi approximately a month ago (that was a p. cool show by the way, too many Phil Elverum vibes to count), and it’s almost disturbing in it’s fidelity to the original. I mean obviously it’s Julian Lynch so it’s not going to be a full on Lauper assault, but it totally carries the tenderness of the originaly ditty. Lynch’s voice gets all high and soaring and touching – inspirational stuff. It’s been kicking around for aaaaages and now that I’ve found it, pretty much kicking myself for not getting weepy and singing along in my room at night earlier.
