Here I Am. Just Like I Said I Would Be

You always get plenty of excited dancing and skirt swishing from today's artist. Here is one of her nine top 10 hits from the 80's. From 1986 and filmed in Trafalgar Square in London, here is the irrepressible Cyndi Lauper with "Change of Heart"...

All Through the Night

Today's hit song off of the album "She's So Unusual" is a live performance because this is the only hit of Cyndi Lauper's that no official video was released with. The song broke the top 10 and is actually a cover of a 1983 song written and recorded by little known U.S. artist Jules Shear. Here is Cyndi with "All Through the Night"...

Lying In My Bed, I Hear the Clock Tick

I have to admit that today's ballad has grown on me over the years because back in 1984 I absolutely hated this song and this video... couldn't understand how this song ever made it to #1 or was nominated as a song of the year at the Grammy's. Anyway, I can listen to it these days when it comes on the radio, but the video is still stupid, but I give it some props for featuring Captain Lou Albano again, albeit very briefly as a cook (don't blink too long). Anyway, here is Cyndi Lauper with "Time After Time"...

When You Gonna Live Your Life Right?

Oh daddy, dear, you know you're still number one... that's right, Cyndi Lauper's girl anthem that made her an international superstar... love the appearance of Captain Lou Albano in the video and the mother in the video is actually Cyndi's real mom... here is "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun"...
