To my surprise one hundred stories high
People getting loose now, getting down on the roof
I tell ya, the folks were screaming
They was, they was out of control
Oh, it was so entertaining
When the boogie starts to explode
I heard somebody say

(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) Burn the mother down
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) Burn the mother down

Satisfaction, you came in a chain reaction
Yeah, I couldn't get enough, so I had to self-destruct
I tell ya, the heat was on, it was rising to the top
Well now, now everybody is going strong
That is where my spark got hot
I heard somebody say

(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) Burn the mother down
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) Burn the mother down

(Up above my head, I hear music in the air)
I hear music, I hear music
(That makes me know there's a party somewhere)

Satisfaction, you came in a chain reaction
Well now, now I couldn't get enough
So I had to self-destruct
I tell ya the heat was on, it was rising to the top
Well now, now everybody is going strong
Yeah, that is where my spark got hot
I heard somebody say

(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) Turn the mother 'round, yeah
(Burn baby burn) Disco Inferno
(Burn baby burn) Burn the mother down

(Burn baby burn)
(Burn baby burn) Burn the mother down, yeah
(Burn baby burn)
(Burn baby burn)

(I just can't stop when my spark gets hot)
I just can't stop when my spark gets hot
Don't rescue me, let my spirit run free
Don't rescue me, let my spirit run free

Cyndi Lauper

An 80’s pop starlet that skyrocketed her way to the top of the mainstream game, Cyndi Lauper has made her mark as an artist both socially and musically.

Beginning her solo career in the 1983 with hit debut album She’s So Unusual, Lauper came to be a household name with the four top-five hits that came with the record, including breakthrough single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the visceral, chart-topping “Time After Time”. Her camp attitude, electrifying vocals, and unrelenting earworms made an impression on the general public, and she would take home Best New Artist and Best Album Package at the Grammy’s for She’s So Unusual, amidst 4 other nominations. Lauper would never reach the same sort of stardom again musically following She’s So Unusual, but her legacy was far from over.

She’s So Unusual set the ground for her next True Colors. Released in 1986, the album most notably contained title-track “True Colors”, which would grow to become a primary anthem of the gay rights movement. Lauper would later serve as a key advocate of the LGBT community, and she has fairly consistently addressed homophobia throughout her career.
