RUSSIAN reacts to Cyndi Lauper - Girls just want to Have Fun | Music Reaction

[@hamletksquid2702]

She was asked in an interview if being famous had changed her life, and she answered "Well, I can eat every day now if I want to".

[@max-es7iu]

so humble and so sad at the same time 😔

[@theboyisnotright6312]

She was considered old by rock and roll standards. 30 yo when this hit.

[@jasonsturges3540]

Love this song.

[@steelers6titles]

She's So Unusual, her debut album, is a Big 80s classic. Cyndi went into acting, as well; she's still around.

[@Rainbow.Pegacorn.Cosplay]

This song is just as iconic as she is. Keep in mind, I was not born in the 80s, but I love this number. If you want to hear something mellow from Cyndi Lauper, if you haven't already, check out her song Time After Time.

[@bodog63]

Her Father in this video was played by Lou Albano, who was a Professional Wrestling Manager in the WWF. Very popular back in the late 1970's and 80's.

[@schizzo8959]

Lou Albano is still number 1.

[@3DJapan]

And her mother in the video is her real mother.

[@vickinoakes249]

She was also in a relationship with Lou when the video was made.

[@Mark-zu6oz]

She's still around. I saw her a few years ago in concert and she still had so much energy.

[@billcheek8043]

Cyndi is an amazing multidimensional person. A true trendsetter. Two other songs that display her personality are ‘Time after Time,’ and ‘True Colors.’ BTW she was great to see perform in person.

[@FlamesCagney]

Imagine working on this video in any capacity al you'd ever have to say in life is "I was in the Girls Wanna Have Fun" video.. and you are in no resume / explanation required.

[@Yvonlefebvre-i2i]

I still had all my albums packed away from growing up. 70's up. This one was among them. I dug them out of storage and gave them to my daughter. She was thrilled lol

[@hentlerob7565]

Cyndi Lauper so amazing singer better than Madonna …. Voice so deep and emotions on real life …. Each album is gold mine ….nothing stop her for great fun time !

[@PAINNN666]

Gold mine was only one. That was have Time after time. I forgot was this song there or not though

[@Hikmah-Al-Quran-Hadis]

Cyndi is legend

[@greeneyesinfl9954]

She was all over MTV back in the day, she has great range and that personality is definitely one of a kind.😊👍🙏❤️

[@devonvergiels5185]

She has a wonderful range, wild crazy rock to really sweet ballads. Still love the music.

[@yrankin1]

Still a blast!!! Throw it up for the 80s house party. So much FUN!

[@MichaelYoder1961]

Major dance hit back in the day - would fill the dance floor

[@williamjones6031]

In 2018 I had tickets to see Cyndi😍🥰😋 with Rod Stewart but he had a throat issue, and she wasn't available to reschedule 😭 I was primarily going to see her, with him as gravy Deep rabbit hole if you want to go there. You do. you just don't know it yet.😎

[@gilbertomv1]

This are songs that no matter how many years pass, it continues to be a Hit !

[@carlossalazar3917]

Respect! It's Cyndi, make girls be powered

[@DV80s]

Some of my favorite female artists of the '80s.... Irene Cara: Fame, Flash Dance What a Feeling. She is a singer from the '80s. She just died about a month ago. Pat Benatar: We Belong, Shadows of the Night, Invincible, Love is a Battlefield.... Bonnie Tyler: Total Eclipse of the Night, I Need a Hero Laura Branigan: Gloria, Self Control, Solitaire, Breaking Out, The Lucky One *my favorite '80s female singer Quarter Flash: Harden my Heart, Find Another Fool, Take me to Heart

[@anitagordon7688]

I love Cyndi Lauper she is my Queen of 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 music...

[@hudsonsilva2804]

One of the coolest songs from the 80's

[@270yis7]

Some songs just capture the mood and energy of a moment of time in history, and this song really conveyed the spirit of the early to mid-80s: energetic and free-spirited.

[@LivWonce]

Cyndi Lauper is a force of nature.

[@jamesward7175]

The Go-Go's "Our Lips are Sealed" is another fun song/video.

[@midoumed2403]

Love her voice very much 🤩

[@Golfzilla70]

You'd love Cyndi Lauper -- her album that this song is from ("She's So Unusual") is awesome, it's definitely 1980's

[@2dashville]

Believe it or not it is a cover. It was written and released by a guy a few years earlier. Cyndi brought it to life though for sure.

[@Lethnion]

Great reaction to an amazing song :) - You should see the move "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" that´s where I first heard this song. I was 12 back in 1985 when the movie came out.

[@steelers6titles]

The guy with the beard in the video is pro wrestling's Captain Lou Albano (1933-2009), who was good friends with Cyndi.

[@flash301]

Just love the 80s it's my youth... Don't take much to take me back to the more simple days... Loading games on cassette first spectrum then c64, watching top of the pops (uk) taping the top 40 off the radio playing the tapes in a Walkman to school in the rain... Summer lasted longer and felt warmer, Mars bars was bigger and cheaper, crisp packets was full and not half bag of air... Less channels to watch yet more entertainment, going out in the street with friends till late... No mobiles, just enjoying childhood, movies was better, the cinema was always full.

[@simonbrown638]

Brings back a lot of memories. I was also loading games onto my spectrum with a tape recorder. I had a ZX81 before the spectrum - 1k of programable memory and only black and white graphics!

[@flash301]

@@simonbrown638 we had the spectrum 48k first although my dad did have the atari 6800 which I can only just remember playing on... But the c64 was my own personal machine and still remember the joys of playing outrun on the arcades in Spain and the excitement when my dad brought it on the c64 few years ago I got the original cassette with the extra audio tape off ebay and same with operation wolf.. When I look at them I am instantly taken back to them days

[@simonbrown638]

@@flash301 I bought the 16k version of the Spectrum with money I had saved up. Sent it away to be upgraded to 48k. I wish I had kept it, only got rid of it a few years ago. I remember thinking how brilliant the graphics were, compared to the ZX81. Amazing how they did so much with so little back then. Still gaming 40 years later, but on a PS5!

[@flash301]

@@simonbrown638 I was just saying the other day about the c64 I had the same set up for about 6 years it didn't go out date every 2 years or needed upgrading. I do have a spectrum 48 and c64 both with a raspberry pi inside (pi 1 and pi 3) You want to look into getting a pi set up you can play all the old spectrum games including many others upto ps1

[@astrofabio68]

there were no feminist movement, just girls who want have fun!

[@redrum482]

The 80s were crazy optimistic and the pop culture was all about happy.

[@alexysq2660]

**Cyndi** is actually 69/70 years of age now ( in 2023 ) and, as far as i know, still going fabulously strong 😁; she truly is absolutely marvellous...!!! And, if you´re not already familiar with them, you might want to suss out *Spice Girls* and *Bananarama* ( two British girl groups ) as well as *The Go-Go´s* ( like *Cyndi L,* also from the US ) - oh, plus *The Bangles, Annie Lennox/Eurythmics, Devinyls* and many more - ALL of whom had tonnes of major hits during the 1980´s, and quite well beyond...!! ~🩷💖

[@brianblackburn6997]

I love this song & have loved it since it was released.

[@penguinsfan9192]

This was easily one of the biggest hits of the 1980’s.

[@DV80s]

Teens on phones, that would be the internet of the '80s, teens socializing with each other over the phones. Of course, it was local, not around the world because if I recall correctly, it cost a lot to call international back then. Even long distance within a country was very expensive.

[@angelaarsenault]

I was smiling watching you sway back and forth with the video. Love it! Cyndi is amazing.

[@steelers6titles]

Cyndi has a thick Brooklyn accent. That's her in her native New York. Her real-life mom plays her mother in the video; Lou Albano portrays her dad. That's her own bedroom.

[@mmt.o.m3637]

I ❤❤❤ Cyndi ..❤ who she is. Unapologetically herself. She was considered a music rebel for the 80s ICONIC ❣

[@KarinaC-xc6hm]

Cyndi Lauper was very special, and how she sang was so different

[@truthguide1742]

Here are few from years ago: Cher, Madonna, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, The Runaways, Heart, Diana Ross, The Supremes, Karen Carpenter, Three Degrees, Donna Summer, Kim Carnes, Janet Jackson, Nancy Sinatra, Janis Joplin, Olivia Newton-John, Minnie Ripperton, Barbara Streisand, Celine Dion, Denice Williams, The Go-Gos, Connie Francis, The Bangles, Andrew Sisters, Helen Reddy, Tanya Tucker, Vickie Sue Robinson, Samantha Sang, Yvonne Elleman, the Pointer Sisters, Dolly Parton, The Ronettes, Martha & the Vandellas, The Crystals, Bananarama, LaBelle, and many many others.

[@kennycasey9940]

This song was a hit when I was in high school in the 80s.

[@jimglenn6964]

I was in my twenties when this came out. She was a big star and this song was iconic. Another female artist would be Patti Smith. New York, pre-grunge a bit punky … super good!

[@korosti]

what a positive russian girl ! great :))

[@adaalva8737]

Girl Power, Song is a classic & the music video is on the Top 5 of 80's music videos with over 1 billion views. Fun music video, just a catchy song as well. Another fun video from Cyndi Lauper is She Bop. Another big hit from her successful debut album. React to She Bop, wild video & another catchy song from her.

[@thatsmeinanutshell4472]

One of my favorite songs. It’s from the 1980’s. That was my high school years and college years. That was a great decade for me. Thank you for reviewing this song. Happy New Year.

Although it was her debut single and will always be associated with her, Cyndi didn't write it. It was written and first recorded by a guy named Robert Hazard. A guy.

Yes, people are mostly unaware that this is just a cover version. Ditto with Joan Jett's I Love Rock n' Roll, and The Go Go's Our Lips Our Sealed (co-written by Jane Weidlin, but recorded first by Fun Boy 3).

Hi, Did you know? Cyndi Lauper is 69 years old in 2022. And she was born on 22nd june 1953.

[@vincentdarrah]

The man who played her father was Captain Lou Albano. He is a pro wrestling hall of famer as a wrestler and later manager. Because he appeared in this video, Cyndi Lauper appeared in the WWF now WWE, as a manager. She managed the WWF womens champion Wendi Richter and teamed with Captain Lou as part of the ROCK N WRESTLING CONNECTION and was a huge reason that WWE exists. She is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame

5:10 Feminism started on a national level in the early 1900's when women were protesting for the right to vote (franchise). It got a big boost in the 60's with women like Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinem and others having big a socilal and political influence for and on women's rights.

[@sammytheface8821]

And the "Feminist National Athem" sung by Helen Reddy..."'I AM WOMAN HEAR ME ROAR". 1971 Love that song.

[@MrGpschmidt]

Cyndi Lauper is still performing - this was her breakthru song making her a star - a feminist anthem/pop classic. I also recommend the following female singers/bands w/women: Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, Deborah Harry (BLONDIE), Heart, The Go-Gos, The Bangles, Laura Branigan, Stevie Nicks, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Annie Lennox (Eurythmics), Diana Ross (The Supremes), Karen Carpenter (The Carpenters)& Olivia Newton-John.

[@MrGpschmidt]

PS: That was Cyndi's real-life mom in the video (she sadly died recently from Dementia; Cyndi took care of her while she was sick) and she's also a very big supporter of the LGB community.

Hi, try the second well-known song by Cyndi "True Colours" The first song fresh, pious, cheerful, free and the second much calmer and with deeper meaning, but nevertheless - my favorite.

You should do a reaction video to SIA . There are also professional dancers in some of her videos which you might like.

[@granadosvm]

If you liked Cindy Lauper, you probably should check "Time after time" and "She bops" from her. Time after time is my favorite song from her, but it is a little more romantic. She bops is more dynamic, just like this one, and at the time, very controversial.

Her real name is a long one. Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper Thornton. Born June 22, 1953.She's a songwriter, actress and activist. Her career has spanned over 40 years! Her net worth is said to be over 50 million. Another famous female singer of the 80's you may want to react to is Annie Lennox of the Eurhythmics, one my favorites is Sweet Dreams. Also, the female singer Stevie Nicks of the 80's.
