An overlooked cover tune LXVII

Perhaps it's jumping the gun to call a cover tune released eight days ago overlooked.  Nevertheless, I recommend Bill Baird's new rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time."  A faster tempo, a calliope feel in the instrumentation, and modest, somewhat buried vocals make up this fun, infectious take on Lauper's 1984 hit.  If "Time After Time"'s lyrics move you, but you wish to take the edge off of them, this is your cover.
