Music by Scottontape
Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper (/ˈlɔːpər/; born June 22, 1953) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and activist. 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 (1985) 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. Her cover of the Marvin Gaye song "What's Going On" was a moderate hit in 1987. In 1989, Lauper saw success with "I Drove All Night" and in 1993, had her first dance club hit with "That's What I Think".
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is a single by the American singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper, written by Robert Hazard. It was released by Portrait Records as Lauper's first major single as a solo artist and the lead single from her debut studio album, She's So Unusual (1983). Lauper's version gained recognition as a feminist anthem and was promoted by a Grammy-winning music video. It has been covered by more than 30 other artists.
The single was Lauper's breakthrough hit, reaching No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and becoming a worldwide hit throughout late 1983 and early 1984. It is considered one of Lauper's signature songs and was a popular song during the 1980s.
The lists "Rolling Stone and MTV: '100 Greatest Pop Songs': 1-50", "Rolling Stone: The 100 Top Music Videos" and "VH1: 100 Greatest Videos" ranked the song at No. 22, No. 39 and No. 45, respectively. The song received Grammy nominations for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Lauper released a new version, "Hey Now (Girls Just Want to Have Fun)", as the first single from her 1994 compilation album Twelve Deadly Cyns...and Then Some. It reached the top 10 in several countries. In 2013, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" was remixed by Yolanda Be Cool for the 30th-anniversary reissue of She's So Unusual.
The release of the single was accompanied by a quirky music video. It cost less than US$35,000 (equivalent to $107,000 in 2023), largely due to a volunteer cast and the free loan of the most sophisticated video equipment available at the time. The cast included Lauper's close friend, professional wrestler/manager "Captain" Lou Albano in the role of Lauper's father while her real mother, Catrine, played herself. Lauper later appeared in World Wrestling Federation storylines opposite Albano and guest-starred in an episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, in which Albano portrayed Mario (Albano also played himself in the episode).
The video was shot in the Lower East Side of Manhattan , and on Gay Street in Greenwich Village in summer 1983 and premiered on television in December 1983. The choreography was by a New York dance and music troupe called XXY featuring Mary Ellen Strom, Cyndi Lee and Pierce Turner.

It’s crazy to think in 1984 she was 31 years old. I was 18 and just out of high school. The village now isn’t the village I knew in the 80s. Back then it was hip and fun. People just knew how to chill. No politics or anything. Cindy represented the times. Crazy cute she is.
I was 22 . Time flies as they say 😮
Was born in 84. Still seems to pass to quickly.
Same I was in Jr High😮😅
I wasnt even born yet
Love that song because back in those days this girl was having fun!
Cyndi was 30 in 1983. Still beautiful today at 71. An icon in music and the LGBTQ community. Thanks Scott.
Those "devil preacher" pauses were HILARIOUS!!
Thanks for this "fun" escape. My daughter and I spent the day helping neighbors. We are very blessed. There are those who aren't. Tampa Bay We love you! ❤ I love you too Scott! Great video!

Scott you are amazing, I loved this video.
My brother and his college class got to meet Cyndi Lauper on a college school trip they were on a tour of New York they said she was so nice.
80s great music
Great video scott …Get funky with me ✌️😎✌️
I loved going to the village when I lived in New York.
I remember that song, Girls just wanna have fun.😊 My god brother and his girlfriend would go in his room and all you heard was that song over and over. I loved true colors. I don't know how old she was just that she was older than me. Had i said that to my mom she would said no girl you take your ass in your room and find something to do because mama got your fun.😅 My mom was very controlling. I guess that's why i went a little wild, not drugs or alcohol. I tried weed but it just didn't do nothing for me. Alcohol i didn't like. But id sneak into bars in the daytime because many still had juke boxes. By 6 pm or so i was back home like all was well.😊 Thanks Scott for the memories and that song. God knows it's one I'll never forget.😁✌️🕯️💕👋👣 Vee.
Great video Scott!!! Loved Cyndi Lauper! And I agree with you wholeheartedly about no haters! Any type of prejudice of ANY kind should not be tolerated EVER! Love you Scott. ❤❤❤
Bringing back great memories Scott! ❤
I had this album when i was young. And Girls just wanna have fun, one the best song in the 80's for sure ! Nice work as usual.
‘83-‘84 the best years!!! Legal to go to the clubs and dance the night away with friends. Working and enjoying life before it was time to get serious about it. This song brings back great memories!!! We had that fun too!!! I’d go back in a second.
Awesome👍👍👍👍👍
At my sister’s wedding reception, it was requests only for the music. I went first and had the DJ play Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Everybody went crazy and hit the dance floor including my grandparents. Such a memorable and fun time. Thanks for showing us around, Scott
🥰🥰🥰🙏😘, thanks this was great to see, love ya😎💙💯
I'm a friend of a friend of Cyndi's. I got the distinct pleasure of speaking to her over the phone.
Love the video and all of her music!
So glad the pandemic is over. but were still dealing with covid and cold and flu season is here so be safe everyone.🥰Vickie
Good Evening Scott 🙋🏾. This is really refreshing . Thank You for inviting me to watch your video ‼️ enjoy your weekend ‼️👍🏽
Man, I was 13... and all we wanted to do was have fun. Where has the time gone.... Great video. Amazing places!!!
Great video scott
Thank you for sharing Scott Love Evie ❤️ 🇦🇺
I like the video/song she did for the Goonies
Awesome video Scott and my favorite poet/musician was from the same area. Jim Carroll the author of The Basketball Diaries. I loved this video and i didn't know that this music video was filmed in the village. I'm from New Jersey and never knew. Thank you for the educational experience 😂as well. Have a great day my friend and stay safe and blessed.
I was very young when I first saw this video. I watched this video over and over that when I hear this song, the video plays in my mind verbatim. Also the movie The Neverending Story. But that is my brother's fault because he watched that movie over and over and made me stop in the middle of the movie and rewind it over and over. Good video
Most people don't it's a cover song written and originally recorded by Robert Hazard back in 1979. None the less, great work.
I was born and raised in SoCal. Went to HS in Upstate NY in a town called Old Forge. Robert lived there. I always talked with him. That's when I found out he wrote and recorded the song. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago. But ironically, he wrote on the best female anthems. He did say Cyndi knocked out the park. There is a version on YT of Robert's original version.
Carlitos Way filmed on that street as well
The whole peeing thing cracked me up! I also love Cyndi Lauper. Great video!
Oh wow! Looking forward to seeing this.
Girls wanna have fun Scott . Come on let’s go : )
I love you scott, i don't think i love anyone more.🥰Vickie
Love Cindi she's Italian like me and she's so talented! I love her duet with Scott Weiland " Barbarella "
Loved that video as a kid lol! I got the same 6 you did when thinking of songs. The wall of shame is hilarious!! More places should do that. Great video!
Hi Scott ☺️❤I'm an 80s teen and remember this song when it was new🎉❤
I've commented before that my cousin Bob has hogkins lymphoma and he's starting treatment for that. he's got pneumonia as well. he's so young in his 50's praying for him and my family.❤🙏 Your right scott how your channel is no hate my moms cousin is gay and im proud to know him. he's very sweet. just love and you can be a better person.🥰 Also my love prayers to anyone who lost some one or is going through a rough time. Vickie💗❤
I love Cydi Lauper, the girls just want to have fun song is my favorite. I love you scott.🥰❤Vickie
Ahh Scott thank you for sharing this with us absolutely brilliant love from London 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇸
The original by Robert Hazard is really a great straight ahead new wave bop. The Cyndi Lauper cover really jazzed it up. I doubt Hazards version would’ve ever been as huge, but it’s a cool song to check out
I was born in 1983! I remember getting a radio for my 8th birthday in 1991 and one of the caset tapes I got with it was Cyndi Lauper. 🫶💜
It’s really nice to see it’s still so beautiful ❤❤❤ right below this video the song is recommended for me 😂
Looking down that street looks like a warner brothers set! .....or more so the warner sets looks much like that street! Bang on would be hard to differ the two!
🎵🎼🎶🎵 hello scott........
Its like stepping back in time! There was said to be a haunted speakeasy on that street back in the day. On my bucket list for sure...Great stuff Scott!👍
I think I know 3 of the 6 songs you named.. True Coloursm, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and Time After time... I may know others without knowing I know them I have seen Goonies before, but not recently. Central Park... Home Alone 2 comes to mind!
❤ I loved this video too
Great song.
I loved that video
