My favorite Lauper song was always "Good Enough". Even though I love the movie The Goonies, I refuse to call it by the full title. I'm sure from a marketing standpoint that it was a great idea to intertwine the song so deeply with the movie and the music video in the days where MTV was new and everything was experimental, but I think in the long term that's really hurt the longevity of the song and made most people not take it very seriously going on 40 years later.

Think I was in my later years of high school when "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" came out. It is a good song and Cyndi was part of the whole Rock and Wrestling jam. And I do admit that I was in to that and my friends. *L*

I bet you were right around my babysitter's and her friend's ages at the time. Had a lot of fun back in those days. I remember wrestling with one of her boyfriends in our backyard one day. Still remember his name because it was my name and I thought that was awesome. Cool dude. Never saw him again after one of us said something to our mom about him and my mom chewed the babysitter's butt out for having a boyfriend over while she was babysitting.
I remember not even realizing why any of that happened. Funny all the things you don't understand when you're that age. Learned pretty early on not to tell my mom nothin' about nothin' though.

Quote:Yeah I was thinking about Pentatonix listening to "Don't Worry Be Happy". It's an incredibly full sound for one guy singing. That's where Pentatonix had an advantage tho: they had a good bass singer.

Your song "Exs and Ohs" had that female-anthem-rock thing going, which reminded me of Lauper.

We used to have a blast watching it on the tv. Me cheering for one guy and my friend for another. Her boyfriend just looking at us like we were crazy.
Good fun.I love "Don't Worry". The video is good too with Robin Williams in it.

It was a period during the 80s when WWF as it was known then hooked up with Cyndi Lauper and promoted her music and she would promote the wrestling. She was part of the good guys side working against the bad guys. Guys like in the video Nikolai Volkoff and the Iron Sheik (bad guys). That video also featured Captain Lou Albano(good guy), who was a former wrestler turned manager. During Wrestlemania 3, I do believe she came to down to ring side with one of the women wrestlers with her match. A couple of albums were made featuring some of the wrestlers singing and stuff. I'll see if I can dig up a couple of the videos later. It was all in fun. They even had Alice Cooper one time. Don't remember now if it was a big card or just a tv show.

Here's a bit of that Rock n' Wrestling jam I was talking about. This video features Hulk Hogan, Billy Jack Haynes, Jimmy Hart in the car and Honky Tonk Man at the wheel. Also Koko B. Ware is the singer. Also Arnold Skooland, Don Muraco, Bam Bam Bigelow, Billy Graham.
