Girls just wanna have ‘Slum’
Wyclef Jean, Cyndi Lauper, DJ Rekha and Neel Murgai performed ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ on Letterman last night (thanks, Joolz). The track’s sweet, poppish melody sounds like Maya lyrics crossed with Cornershop sitar.
And to answer your burning question: Cyndi’s 56, but she still rocks it.

Ha! One of your best.
Hey, loved the headline but that track is truly awful. Letterman was funny: ‘do you want a seat there?’ to the sitar player. And Cindi 56, wow…
- insert 2 minutes of silence-
doop …
doop …
doop …
um… ok… i saw the clip. needed to gather why mr wyclef jean has moved up in life. so we know he likes red snapper. how very interesting! it’s a food fish that’s scarce now but that’s ok. but seriously disturbingly, the man really likes holding his dong in public. what’s going on yar? and using the auto-tune. Vot man! that’s just cheating.
cyndiJee looks quite good i agree. what was she playing btw. instrument du jour from tibet? or a local creashun? anyone? bueller… bueller…
I love when Dave says “That’s a sitar, right?” to Neel at the end.
Unfortunately, yes. That OMPS is beyond tired now.
I love me some Cyndi, though.
