IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR SOMEONE TO SING THIS WELL. THIS SHOULDVE COMPLETELY BLOWN UP ALREADY.

[@RakaYoBody]

Honestly!!! 🥰🥰🥰 her vocals are so amazing!!

[@oneofthepeople7293]

It's a slow burn. This girl is fire.

[@percibaltwinkus]

the raspiness and emotion of her voice is sooooo stunning, wow

[@alexiatr]

That "I want to be the one to walk in the sun" just hit me in all my feelings 😢🥹

[@ale_lingua]

TLM vibes. 🧜‍♀️ (BTW: The story of Howard Ashman working on THE film to kick off the Disney Renaissance, an adaptation of HCA’s tragic allegory of forlorn love…. Yeah. 🥲🥲)

[@renren5334]

No one does a better job of communicating emotions through vocals. I'm addicted to your voice

[@matthews832]

1980s: Girls having cheerful and enthusiastic fun 2020s: Girls having melancholy and depressed fun

[@qewrtyuio]

the song is meant to be sad... in the 80s women were fighting for equality and the idea of the working woman and single mothers was barely being something accepted within society... the song is response to that, girls just want to have fun aka just mf exist but they keep on being judged and scrutinized for living

[@RandomGirl-gx6ev]

Or maybe we're just depressed e.g. Trump, the current Supreme Court, Andrew Tate, Elon Musk, Ben Shapiro, Piers Morgan, Jordan Peterson, Russell Brand, the list is literally endless

[@Bananasplitsssz]

For those who don’t get the misogyny lemme break it down. First of all context is key, in the Male version his first line is “the phone rings in the middle of the night” and the father saying he needs to get his life together aka saying he needs to settle down. The man says that his father is the “fortunate one” implying that he is lucky he bagged a woman because “girls just wanna have fun” which in context is him saying “I cant settle down, women only want sex not marriage” also implying he blames women for his lack of a relationship. In the female version she sings the second verse first “I come home in the morning light” and the mother says “when you gonna live your life right? Also implying that she should settle down. She sings “oh mother dear we’re not the fortunate ones” meaning that women (historically speaking) don’t get the chance to go out and enjoy there youth before being pressured into settling down, “but girls, they want to have fun” followed by “oh girls just wanna have fun” meaning that women want to enjoy there youth and not be rushed into marriage. The change in tone from “girls just” to “but girls, they want” also changes the implications, the male version sounds like a guy blaming women, the second is a women stating that she desires more than just a husband. These little details, while hard to notice, can completely change the meaning behind a song. In the male second verse, he sings the “come home in the morning light” which after the first line of “the phone rings in the middle of the night” imply a that he’s just come home from a hookup, when followed by his mother yelling for him to “live his life right” instead of reflecting, he blames women again by stating that “girls just want to have fun” In the female version she sings “the phone rings in the middle of the night” which after the first line of “coming home in the morning light” imply that she is going out for the night with friends her father yelling “ what you gonna do with your life?” Means that he thinks she should focus on getting married rather than going out with friends. She reply’s “oh daddy dear you know you’re still number 1” which is her saying “I don’t want to marry yet” aka he’s still the number 1 man in her life. The final line in each helps reinforce the meaning behind them both. The male version sings “these girls just wanna have fun” meaning he doesn’t have a girl in mind, he means all Women of marrying age in his generation. It tells the listener that he blames women for the fact he isn’t married and he believes that there are no good women anymore who want to get married. The female version sings “Oh girls, they wanna have fun” reiterating the point that young women want to enjoy there lives, breaking away from traditional values where women get pressured into marrying young, and intern waste there youth. (Obviously I’m not saying that all women who marry young waste there youth but this is from the perspective of a girl living in a time where it was expected for young women to throw away their lives and get married asap) So to conclude, The male version is the story of a man who sleeps around, wishes to and is pressured to settle down by his parents but can’t for whatever reason. And instead of searching for a wife he blames women, stating that women just want sex and not a committed relationship, he complains about how he can’t find a girl to marry, insinuating that there are not good women left. The female version is the story of a woman who is pressured by her parents to settle down when all she wants to do is live her life and enjoy her youth. It’s about a young woman who doesn’t want to marry young, despite the societal pressure to get married. Remember this song released in 1983, a time where it was more normal for young people to marry early, girls just wanna have fun is a song about women enjoying their lives before rushing into marriage and it tells women that while you can get married, there is nothing wrong with wanting to party and enjoy youth. I hope this was helpful :)

[@Bananasplitsssz]

So the misogyny in this is that he blames women for not wanting a relationship with him, it’s women’s fault, women are the reason he’s not married. He sings that women want to sleep around and not marry which is misogynistic, remember this is from the 80s, a time where women where slowly getting more and more independent, able to go out, work, vote, leave the family home for more than just shopping ect… this song, for this time period is like an 80s incel. It intern blames feminism for his lack of a relationship. “Women don’t want to marry anymore, they just want to go out and sleep with people” which you can compare to model incel culture, He’s calling women who want to live freely, wh*res because they won’t marry him.

[@DoktorValkyria]

Thank you for such a comprehensive comment! I was going to look up the full lyrics after listening but your analysis was very helpful!! ❤

[@queenboudicca31]

What a prescient song - actually both versions. Men blaming women for their own failures...again.

[@Chessheromusic]

Wow this song is incredibly sad I started crying after while As both genders , blame and isolate A man who can't find a wife bc girls want to have fun A girl who is not taken seriously bc she's young And the men think "girls just wanna have fun " Her mother tells her , her wisdom buts it's not the truth she feels coming from the world So girls only care about fun and everyone is alone

[@johnreiland9180]

You bring out such fragility in this song, and then overcome it with power. It's really moving.

[@lotusmoonnn]

Ok but why did this just make me actually cry

[@Chessheromusic]

Bc at its core it's very sad It's Not fun Both genders are pushed by the world to blame and isolate from each other A man who can't find a companion bc he believes girls just wanna have fun A young woman who would love to believe her mothers wisdom but is being told that she's young and all she wants is fun You felt the harsh loneliness coming from both sides ❤ It's ok I cried too

[@bellsintheback]

I’ve listened to original version of this song but never paid good enough attention to the lyrics. This had me tearing up❤️❤️

[@blacksabs5461]

Which one are you talking about, the original by Robert hazard or the Cyndi lauper version

[@Hoodwink-1]

As a middle son of the family (and a 20yo boy myself) this song makes me understand my sisters feelings As a brother, I'll try to help them to have fun in their lives ^^ I really love my sisters

[@KeithR.Abellanosa-hx5rj]

Wow! I'm proud of you! You can have fun smart, even if all the success in the world is yours, in the end if you don't make it fun, happy, meaningful, with resolve it's worthless, thanks for teaching them that lesson and being a positive human being.

[@rebeccawicks5111]

This brought tears to my eyes - I came from your short about the original lyrics. Lauper's lyrics hit different when compared to the original misogynistic version.

[@TRXST.ISSUES]

Great job, the vocal breaks are handled gracefully

[@violet.crown1036]

I…I have never seen something so underrated

[@ColorRelaxLive]

This girl just wanna listen to this cover.

[@vladnegru4204]

give this girl a record deal

[@Blubchubz]

I personally like this cover of the song more than the original. Both are great though!

[@JasAliy]

This is the first time I’ve sat to listen to the lyrics. When you sing it I hear the emotion and take the song in. Your voice is so clear I love your voice keep singing please

[@Michael_Mika]

I love how your voice really portrays your emotions. It makes the song feel more captivating and like you can resonate with the feeling.

[@jaconti65]

girl here has a gift. gd bless mama

[@heyysimone]

The part 'my father yells' - the raspy voice = perfection

[@sylphiepoo]

It’s so FUNNY that you posted this less than 30 minutes ago! I’ve had this version of the song stuck in my head all day after watching your real, and I searched to see if you had the full version out yet. You didn’t, until now when I searched! This is amazing!!! Please keep singing, it’s heavenly ❤

[@ellarose4600]

This is my favorite cover! I’ve watched this countless times.

[@niklasjensen9353]

Her voice is just out of this world ❤

[@simply_nebulous]

[@gtlasgyal]

[@AlishaHerbiederbie]

This is STUNNING.

[@neonparisian1296]

Love the rasp. You are so talented!

[@twiceshy9773]

Love a good cover, babe you killed it☺️👍👍

[@Space_Captain]

I’m not a Girl that Wants to Have Fun. I’m a 21 Year Old Man Trying His Best. This cover legitimately gives me chills. Your singing is so passionate, it’s amazing. Glad I found this.

[@ts9898]

Found you by accident and I have to say, I really enjoy your voice. You've been given a gift, I'm glad you are sharing it. Best of luck.

[@Im.selenophileee]

I always listened to your "End it" song and i always saw you on youtube shorts Now I just realized you're the same person that made the song😂 beautiful voice by the way

[@Madpencildust22]

Finally a version I’ve been looking for ❤❤❤ you’re so talented and a beautiful soul

[@broomhilder]

2:30 I was confused at first, but then I realized you’re adding a whistle into the mix! So subtle and very creative!

[@JwanDeFleur]

Flawless delivery.

[@TenMoogles]

Your voice is so angelic. I'm enchanted

[@forer1906]

You shorts appeared to me, and I loved your voice, became a fan but was like with this thought in the back of my mind "I've heard this name before... Riell? And then I went through your channel, and saw your posts with Besomorph and I was "I've definitely listen to something with these two" but I couldn't remember, and finally I found it, I used to be completely obsessed with your song "Who am I?" it was one of my favorite songs for years and still is, your voice is blessed and I love it!!! Will keep following you, you deserve so much more recognition!!!

[@heathermcfarland6317]

Goosebumps 🪿 ❤

[@LeeorAlexandra]

Beautiful

[@kriboi23]

your voice gives me chill

[@XxXShevampXxX]

This is definitely the only cover of this song I've ever actually liked. Your voice is gorgeous!

[@SeniorSunday]

I've been hoping for a full version of this! Thank you so much!!!

[@JackobsnN]

These full covers are amazing

[@KoryGrayson]

I love the emotions you put into the songs without all the extra noise in it if that makes sense

[@annalisacandaso-robertson9179]

This made me cry. Just beautiful. I hope Cindy Lauper herself hears this and it makes her cry too. ❤ Nikki Minaj too. Pink too. Just because this seems like a song Pink would sing too.

[@RAINBOWS_ARTS]

Your voice is so magical! This brings so much emotion.

[@melissachoate6543]

How lucky I am to have stumbled upon this. You sing like an angel ❤️❤️❤️

[@bellabelonia4594]

Omg thank god, I just watched a short of you singing that and I was about to beg on the comments if anyone knew if you were gonna do a full cover, but thank you so much!!! You sing amazingly!!! You are incredible

[@LouiseJ3447]

I don't know how many times I listened to this, you're seriously amazing, love your vibe!

[@Youraveragemillenial]

I strongly questioned how I was going to possibly be emotional from this song when I clicked on it. Cut to my eyes tearing up during “I wanna be the one to walk in the sun” which I never really paid attention to before due to the way Cyndi annunciates. 😢

[@asahisangel]

Her voice is so beautiful

[@wolfiewinchester5674]

i checked everyday religiously for this cover your voice is so YES

[@NonchalantSims]

I was so excited to see if you had a full version I’m so glad you do
