"One night in a motel in Delaware, Mr. Hazard sat in a bathtub and in 15 minutes wrote "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," a sprightly pop tune covered in 1983 by Cyndi Lauper. Labeled a feminist anthem, it shot to No. 1. Miley Cyrus' remake is included on her new album, Breakout."

I never knew this classic 80's song was written by a man. Very cool. Sad to have learned of his talent posthumously.

BTW- I love Miley's new version. Then again, I watch too much Disney. If you haven't heard it... you will.

Escalator of Light is a great new wave tune. RIP indeed.
