    She was MASSIVE in the 80's. I'm a old school Metalhead and I loved what she did . She marched to her own drummer and didn't give a damn what anyone else thought . She is a true rock & roll Goddess.

      She was so big that my dad still hates this song for how overplayed it was. I wasn't there to experience the song at its peak but I can at least say that I like it now

    If you watch the official music video, you'll see that it was the epitome and encapsulation of '80s women's fashion-- at least for girls who wanted to have fun, that is.

    She was vocalist of the year, and an essential part of bringing professional wrestling into the mainstream, and helping kick of the very first Wrestlemania. Time After Time is my personal favorite of hers. Thanks for doing this one. Love it

    Loved Cyndi Lauper's quirky style & she is a really good singer songwriter. She has had a lot of hits especially in the 80's such as "Girls Just Want To Have Fun", "Time After Time", "She Bop", "All Through The Night", "True Colors", "Change Of Heart", "I Drove All Night" etc.

    She was definitely big in the 80s, and this song was a smash, of course. But I still think she has grown in stature over time, as people have come to realise that some of her songs are timeless classics that have long outlived the 80s. She is some kind of musical genius, in my opinion, she just might not have been too preoccupied with with being a superstar. As someone else said here: She always marched to her own drum.

    Cyndi Lauper had 4 top 5 hits from her first solo album. "Girl's Just Want to Have Fun", 'She Bop", "Time After Time", and "All Through the Night" were the 4 songs from her first album. The album was called "She's so Unusual". I know all of this because of my daughter back in the 80's and early 90's.

  • @kevincaulder9001

    This sing exploded as soon as it hit the MTV airwaves. It was everywhere !! Even older women were singing it at work as I remember. In the bars and nightclubs big screens had just been installed to play the videos of the lastest hits. Which made it even crazier. Between Cyndi and Madonna those were the days. And man were they fun !! Let's not forget about Toni Basil and her monster hit, MICKEY. Video please. I want to see the look on Asia's face.

    In the 80s, my then-husband, in a rage about my going to a bar with a co-worker, yelled "girls only go to bars to be picked up"! SMH...My response to him " Men go to bars only to pick up those girls, so why do you go to bars?!" Yes, Asia & BJ, girls just wanna have fun, just wanna have fun; at the end of a workday, just enjoy your friends, some jukebox music and have a drink! PS: During the late 70s and early 80s, in Connecticut, women were not welcome at the bar and only tolerated at a table in the bar venue ... SMH

    Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper Thornton (born June 22, 1953)[1] is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and activist.[2] Her career has spanned over 40 years.[3] Her album She's So Unusual (1983) was the first debut album by a female artist to achieve four top-five hits on the Billboard Hot 100-"Girls Just Want to Have Fun", "Time After Time", "She Bop", and "All Through the Night"-and earned Lauper the Best New Artist award at the 27th Annual Grammy Awards in 1985. Her success continued with the soundtrack for the motion picture The Goonies and her second record True Colors (1986). This album included the number one single "True Colors" and "Change of Heart", which peaked at number three. In 1989, she had a hit with "I Drove All Night".

    @s.mcpherson6354 2 роки тому +1

    The super subtle plucked, guitar-over-bass in this just ties it all together perfectly. And her voice has such a girlish cherub sound. All the great singers have some quirk to them that makes them unique. In others it might be a flaw. But some people turn 'flaws' into talent and stardom.

    Cyndi is awesome, this song was number 1 in the Uk where i'm from, you guys should react to "True Colors " or " i drove all night" fantastic songs & the fact that Cyndi is in her 60's now , i gotta say her vocals to this day are phenomenal, i was blown away hearing her live , one of very few singers who has not lost her power in all these decades.

  • @albertscanlon2005
    @albertscanlon2005 2 роки тому +2

    I love Cyndi Lauper...so versatile and eccentric with apparently a 4 octave falsetto voice..BJ you are right, her tone and pitch are so unique...and Asia you are right using the word quirky. It's a great 80's video and her performance in the video is like her voice you not going to keep her confined to one room of the house. she is certainly a free spirit. Have a good day both

  • @sparklebaby22

  • @dalee72
    @dalee72 2 роки тому +4

    You should have reacted to the official music video for this song in order to appreciate her fashion style and her sense of humor.
    At an earlier point in her life she lost her voice but somehow she got it back.
    For me the Queens of pop music in the 80s were Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Janet Jackson.
    Cyndi and Madonna were compared a lot in the early to mid 80s because of their sound and fashion styles. This created unnecessary competition and unfair treatment of their music and their intelligence.
    Cyndi had her song True Colors released around the same time as Madonna's True Blue single.
    Madonna's song Open Your Heart was originally intended for Cyndi and Open Your Heart was released around the same time as Cyndi's Change Of Heart was released.
    React to her songs Time After Time, All Through The Night, Goonies Are Good Enough, She Bop, Money Changes Everything, True Colors, Change Of Heart and I Drove All Night please.

    She was huge in the 80s. We wanted to dress like her and be like her! I was in 8th grade when this came out - perfect timing. We wanted to have fun! Especially the lines about her Daddy because they weren't good at watching us not need them ask the time, especially as were becoming boy crazy! I always loved her strong Brooklyn accent that she even had when she sung! She's an icon!

    This song was released in 1983 when Cyndi was 30. I believe it was her first big hit, and it was soon followed by a lot more. Look up the UA-cam video of her appearance to promote this song on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. She was hilarious with a total WTF attitude.

    I graduated HS in 1983. I blasted this while cruising Cooper in Arlington, Tx. Back before the cops got involved. Tons of friends, just cruising up to 30 and back down to Park Row...all evening. It was a blast back then. Don't start me on the story of getting a keg of beer in the trunk of my best friends Chevelle and running the tap up front. What a night. By the end of the night, we had so many cars following us for fill ups lol. Good times.

  • @coreyrees840

    It was so popular, a movie was made called Girls Just Want to Have Fun, but her version isn't in the soundtrack.

    Another lesser known Cyndi Lauper hit is "She Bop", with a similar theme to the song "Turning Japanese" by The Vapors (both 80's hits.)

    If you see the video to this song- quirky is a good description for her style of clothing and her overall look but one thing is clear,she can sing. Check out time after time and true colors that shows her range

    Classic early 80's song she had a very unique style.

    First time I heard this was on MTV many years ago and my only thought was "I think she's trying to tell us something." 😂
