Musical Friday Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Dear friends,

The song of the day is "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" - a song recorded by American recording artist Cyndi Lauper. It was the first major single released by Lauper as a solo artist and the lead-off single from her debut album Shes So Unusual. Lauper’s version gained recognition as a feminist anthem and promoted by an award-winning video. It has been covered on either an album or in live concert by over 30 other artists. I remember wacthing with my sister VH1 and singing along this song :) and as today I was telling you a story about the everlasting love between sisters, I thought I might give you a sisterly song as well ;)

The single was Laupers breakthrough hit, reaching #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming a worldwide hit throughout late 1983 and early 1984. It remains one of Laupers signature songs and was a widely popular song during the era of its release, the 1980s. The "Rolling Stone & MTV: 100 Greatest Pop Songs: 1-50", "Rolling Stone: "The 100 Top Music Videos"" and the "VH1: 100 Greatest Videos" lists ranked the song at #22, #39 and #45, respectively. The song received a Grammy Award nomination for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
