Cyndi Lauper: 'Into The Nightlife'

You could never accuse Cyndi Lauper of lacking balls. In recent years she's tried everything from pop standards to covering her own back catalogue with Jeff Beck and Shaggy in tow. Now, at the age of 55, she's just released her first dance album, the actually very good Bring Ya To The Brink.

The jewel in the album's crown is 'Into The Nightlife', a joyous filter disco track with a brilliantly whooshy chorus. It's tempting to (over) analyse why it works so well - the breaking glass effect at the beginning of the chorus is especially ace - but ultimately it's pretty simple. This is the sort of song that makes you want to dance like no-one's watching you every time you hear it.
