Cyndi Lauper, She’s So Unusual, 1983 on Portrait
Lauper’s debut solo album, She’s So Unusual had four top-five singles: “Girls Just Want To Have Fun,” “Time After Time,” “She Bop,” and “All Through The Night.”
A number of the songs were covers – “Money Changes Everything” by The Brains, “When You Were Mine” by Prince, “All Through The Night” by Jules Shear, and even “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” which was written by Robert Hazard who had performed it with multiple bands and made a demo recording.
Truly a must-have album for an 80s music fan.
My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5 in Lowell MA—is a 1984 pressing with the original inner liner and Portrait label.

"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is a single written in 1979 by #RobertHazard and made famous in 1983 by the American singer-songwriter #CyndiLauper, who changed some of the lyrics. It was released by #PortraitRecords as Lauper's debut single from her first solo album, #ShesSoUnusual (1983), which was released four days earlier. Lauper's version gained recognition as a #feministAnthem and was promoted by an #MTVVideoMusicAward–winning music video directed by #EddGriles.

@waltman And in #food-themed #music trivia, a young version of my band The Phoenix Trap made a grungy appearance on the 1998 compilation CD “#Scrapple Rocks,” alongside #Philly hitmaker #RobertHazard (songwriter for #CyndiLauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and his own #NewWave hit “Escalator of Life”)

Ted Tocks Covers
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Originally posted on August 5, 2018
From the early days of Ted Tocks Covers, here is Cyndi Lauper’s famous cover of a Robert Hazard penned song. It was released 40 years ago today.
“I come home in the morning light
My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh, mamma, dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls—they wanna have fun
Oh, girls just wanna have fun”https://tedtockscovers.wordpress.com/2018/08/05/girls-just-wanna-have-fun/

TIL that #CindyLauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" is a cover. 🤯 The original is from 1979 by #RobertHazard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aLNwOxPsjg

Tried to teach my spouse about #Philadelphia's 1980's music #TheHooters, and #RobertHazard's Escalator of Life. Was not impressed.
