The answer may not having anything to do with the Lauper song at all (which
was composed by TWO people -- Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly).
There is a famous jazz standard from 1967 written and recorded by Freddie
Hubbard.
And the ONLY reason I know this is that when reading Spencer Leigh's book
about Bob Wooler recently he goes on a tear about the theft of song
names....and cites this exact tune as a case of why a song title should be
allowed to be copyrighted.
Strange that this exact song should come up in a conversion here.
