What happens when a twelve-year-old falls in love with Donna Summer’s Bad Girls—without realizing what the song is actually about?
In this episode of Marked by Music, Sara remembers begging her parents for the album, playing it at full volume, and singing about the streetwalkers of Sunset Boulevard with complete enthusiasm and total innocence. The irony? Welcome Back, Kotter was considered too controversial in her house.
Bad Girls became Sara’s first non-classical album and opened the door to an entirely new musical world. Soon she was recording songs from Casey Kasem’s countdown onto cassette, falling in love with everything from Fleetwood Mac and Blondie to Kenny Rogers, Bette Midler, and the television show Fame.
She also revisits Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana”—a miniature musical filled with glamour, romance, murder, and heartbreak—which she performed both for audiences and alone around the house.
Warm, funny, and personal, this episode explores how popular music didn’t replace Sara’s classical world—it made her world bigger. These songs gave a twelve-year-old permission to imagine a life filled with art, drama, performance, and possibility.
