THE BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.

To compliment my recently completed ‘1000 BEST SONGS LIST,’ here is another that just missed the cut.

1026-Cyndi Lauper-Girls Just Want to Have Fun.
1984-Number 2 single.
Best Bit-At 0.06.The good news is that girls want to have fun,the bad news is,it’s not with you.
‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ was written in 1979 by the American musician Robert Hazard,(1948-2008) it was never officially released, but there is a very good quality demo.The Hazard version is in the style of Punk Rock, and New Wave, and tells the tale of how fortunate it is to be born male, because all the girls want to have fun with you. Lauper re-wrote the lyrics, and made the song a ‘Girl Power’ anthem. She tells us that girls can have fun on their own terms, matching anything a man can do.The song and it’s accompanying video have been described as a ‘Strong feminist statement,’ and a ‘Playful romp, celebrating female camaraderie.’
Cynthia Ann Stephanie Lauper was born in New York City on the 22nd June,1953, to date she has sold in excess of 50 million records worldwide.She was also a fashion trendsetter,wearing bright coloured outrageous clothing, that looked like it had been purchased in a second hand shop,this would influence other female artists such as Madonna, Katy Perry, and Lady Ga Ga.
Finally I would highly recommend checking out Laupers’ amazing performance of this song on the British television programme Top of the Pops, back in 1984.
‘When the working day is done,oh girls they want to have fun.’
