What a fun song to be performed by a group of woman.We had a lot of fun with dance Movements with this song. It was a show stopper.

This was very true to the original, and is very fun to play. It is better with more instruments, especially since it relies heavily on percussion throughout, and would be better with all of the women's monologues included, but is an excellent choice.
