Talk about a dream come true!
Two of my favourite creative people in the world together on the one show, The Graham Norton Show to be exact, combining their talents to gloriously good effect.
Taking the songs of the brilliantly-talented and quirkly-lovable Cyndi Lauper at the urging of host Graham Norton, Seth MacFarlane (who, as well as being the wickedly funny kind behind The Family Guy, is also a superbly-good crooner; check his Christmas album as Exhibit A) gave them a Stewie and Peter Griffin twist.
Lauper gives every appearance of loving it (makes sense – she’s a great sport), and while McFarlane does look a little reluctant at first for fear of offending the great “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” herself, her appreciation spurs him on and we end up with a thoroughly-enjoyable piece of pop culture hybrid musical theatre that will make your day (and if not, why not?)
