And if you do like it, please head over to iTunes to purchase the single before April 30. Artist Ariel Aparicio is donating his proceeds of .54 cents from each purchase of the single on iTunes to the Greater New York City Affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure.

Ariel wants to use his fun, violin-filled version of the Psychedelic Furs’ 1980s classic as a means for spreading optimism and hope among women fighting breast cancer.

He’s honoring his friend, Celeste Orangers, who was diagnosed in May 2005 with stage III breast cancer. Today, she’s a survivor. In 2005, she received the newly approved drug, Herceptin, to treat her breast cancer. Celeste says, “Without the fundraising done by organizations like Susan G. Komen For The Cure, Herceptin would have been many years off, and I probably would not be here.”
