DEF: Cyndi Lauper “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”

Cyndi Lauper has made fourteen appearances on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, with ten of those songs reaching the Top 40 and eight hitting the Top 10. All of those runs of success started with her very first song to appear on the chart, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.” Exactly 35 years ago, “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” rose to a peak position of number 2. To commemorate that anniversary, the 80s classic that made Cyndi Lauper a household name and became a kind of signature song is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
