YouTube singer turns ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ into minor key song
By Josh Haggis
A YouTube singer has transformed uptempo pop classic Girls Just Wanna Have Fun into a melancholy minor key song.
Chase Holfelder, an up-and-coming singer-songwriter from North Carolina in the US, has an ongoing video series in which he takes popular songs in a major key and transposes them into songs in a minor key.
His previous covers include minor key versions of Cheap Trick’s I Want You to Want Me and gospel standard Amazing Grace.
With his latest video, Holfelder has turned Cyndi Lauper’s iconic 1983 hit Girls Just Wanna Have Fun into something surprisingly haunting. Listen to the cover below:
