But the traditional tunes 'Three Ships' and 'Silent Night' radiate a reverent, gather-'round-the-fireplace vibe that'll warm the cockles of even the most hidebound holiday music devotee. Cyndi brings her trademark sass to songs like "Christmas Conga" and the bawdy "Minnie and Santa" among the eight original tunes on the record. In short: no spoiled superstar or commercial cash-in here! Just a fresh, homespun take on a time-honored tradition, brought to you by a performer whose work in music, theater, and advocacy continues to inspire. And that she taped her vocals inside her cedar closet because she liked the reverb sound. Hello Select your address Music Hello, Sign in. Like the fact that she recorded it at her home while her infant son Declyn slept (he can be heard giggling and burbling on 'New Year's Baby '). Merry Christmas.Have a Nice Life: Lauper, Cyndi: Amazon.ca: Music. Leave it to Cyndi Lauper to record a Christmas album that's upbeat without being sappy! Honestly, the stories that surround the making of this 1998 record are enough to put you in the Christmas spirit. Limited red and white swirl colored vinyl LP pressing. Highly recommended.Title: Merry Christmas.Have a Nice Life! This is an excetional Christmas album: fun, tender, joyous, romantic, silly…it's all here. Original compositions, save Silent Night (here in a tender and simple arrangement and best known when Pampers used it as its holiday commercial theme a few years back), add an intoxicating, yet somehow familiar, twist on Christmas tunes. New music… sounding like classics (5 stars)Ĭyndi pretty much can pull of any genre of music, and this album is no exception. It's the best version ever of "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" (sorry Brenda Lee!).īonga Bonga Bonga Do the Christmas Conga! (5 stars)īonga Bonga Bonga Do the Christmas Conga! HELLO Today I'm continuing with my Cyndi Lauper discography journey and I'll be listening to her sixth studio album 'Merry Christmas. Her take on some Christmas classics are gems, too. Reportedly much of the vocal was recorded in Lauper's cedar closet as it. It combines original compositions by Lauper and collaborator Jan Pulsford with traditional Christmas songs. Lauper's original songs range from fun and witty ("Minnie and Santa" and "Christmas Conga," which dares you not to dance along) to reverent and emotional "New Year's Baby" and "December Child"). Have a Nice Life is the sixth studio album and first Christmas album released by Cyndi Lauper. This album is one of my all-time favorite holiday collections.
