Now that it’s Christmastime, it’s time to start thinking about people who aren’t ourselves. If you’re clueless as where to begin, there’s no one who isn’t you that deserves more attention than our brave men and women in the armed services.

The most memorable of those performances was a duet between Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry on Cyndi Lauper‘s November 1983 hit “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”.
