>sold the majority of her catalog to Pophouse>Farewell tour in Fall 2024She's 71 years old. How is she going down music history, /mu/tants?
A glorified one hit wonder
>>122914504on my dick hopefully, bc she can still get it
>>122914516People say this because Girls Just Want to Have Fun is still so ubiquitous, so popular, that people forget her biggest hit is actually Time After Time.
>>122914516Time After Time has twice more streams than the #1 Madonna song
>>122914504Came in here to post this: >>122914516 word for word.
>>122914516Lol what?>Cyndi Lauper - Top 40 (Billboard)>Time After Time - #1 (1984)>True Colors - #1 (1986)>We Are the World (with USA For Africa) - #1 (1985)>Girls Just Want to Have Fun - #2 (1983)>Change of Heart - #3 (1986)>She Bop - #3 (1984)>All Through the Night - #5 (1984)>I Drove All Night - #6 (1989)>The Goonies 'R' Good Enough - #10 (1985)>What's Going On - #12 (1987)>Money Changes Everything - #27 (1984)

>>122914647Are you talking about that "Popular" song by the Weeknd where Madonna is a minor feature? Grim if so.>>122914704She Bop is a terrible tune, the others are alright. Time After Time is great and became a standard.
>>122914914>She Bopfiltered it's a masterpiece
>>122914504I liked her better than Madonna on a musical level but I don’t care for her worldview personally
>>122914504honestly a pop legend
>>122914983it's perverse. women don't bop.
picrel is a 10/10 pop album and only dedicated contrarians disagree
>>122915306My only issue with this is that it has too many covers.>When Were you Mine>Money Changes Everything>All Through The Night>Girls Just Want to Have Funare all covers that I know of, there's probably more. I would have liked more originality on this album, other than that, it's good.
>>122914704We are the world doesn't count as a fucking Cindy Lauper song you mong
>>122914504Im curious about her catalogue post 80s, does she have good stuff from the 90s or 00s?
>>122915833She helped make it memorable, though. The bridge with Michael Jackson, Huey Lewis, Cyndi Lauper and Kim Carnes shoots up this song into the stratosphere, Cyndi's solo in special.
>>122915860Ok I'll give you that
Can't writer for shitmore like Cyndi LARPER
>>122915847No, as you can see >>122914704, she didn't have a top 40 past the 80's. She did some interesting covers in between, but no outstanding original material.Her output is full of covers. Some ok albums from the 90's and 00's:Twelve Deadly Cyns...and Then SomeThe Body Acoustic At LastI like her cover of "The World is Stone"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaIuuls3ZbE
>>122915078>but I don’t care for her worldview personallyBOO HOO SHE SAID SOMETHING UNKIND ABOUT ORANGE MAN SAVE ME, BEN SHAPIRO
Twelve Deadly Cyns [Epic, 1994]The statistics are brutal. The six best tracks on this 10-year retrospective, arrayed all in a row after a bombastic new Mann-Weil cover, are all from her decade-old debut, and if "When You Were Mine" had been thrown in the figure would have been seven. So you decide--wanna buy this for "True Colors" and "I Think About You"? I thought not, and that was without mentioning the "Girls" remix or the Mary Chapin Carpenter song about pigeons. Maybe she was so set on fun because she guessed it would be hell from there on in. C
>>122915831>Girls Just Want to Have Funnot a cover
>>122914504She has aged gracefully
>>122916360https://youtu.be/5aLNwOxPsjg?si=pBZEiK06-Ez7aIem
>>122916413that's an unreleased demo by the songwriter, moron
It's true that she only wrote one hit, Time After Time.
>>122916426So? It's Robert Hazard's song, written and recorded by him. I have no animosity towards Lauper, but she lied for years about having written Girls.., when she simply covered it, and imbecile fans like you believe it.
>she is...not a JewSomehow I always thought she was.
>>122916469>"that's an unreleased demo by the songwriter, moron">hurrrrr you think she wrote it den durrrrrrryou're a fucking moronhe's an industry songwriter who made a demo of his song to sell itby your tard reasoning, 99% of all pop music are cover versions because they were written and demoed by fat old songwriters
>>122916426Hazard performed the song at his concerts. Fromt the "Let the Canary Sing" documentary:>Hazard often performed "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" live; Lauper's producer, Rick Chertoff, took her to one of Hazard's shows. She wasn't all that impressed, especially with the song's lyrics, which seemed to imply that women's enjoyment rested on their sex lives.>"Every time we want to have fun, we're whores," Lauper said in Let the Canary Sing, a 2023 documentary about her life. If she was going to record the song, she wanted to make sure she transformed its message.It's a cover.
>>122916526>retard zoomer doesn't know what a term means>comes up with his own retard zoomer definition>refuses to be correctedso sick of this, bros
>>122916543It's a cover, wether you like it or not. Harzard wrote it and played it at his concerts. Cyndi's producer saw potential, offered money and Lauper covered it. A song doesn't need to be released through a recording label to be covered. The national anthem was never released as a single by its creators, but it's been covered several times by a multitude of artists. Get over it.
>>122916575you're a fucking moron
>>122914516More or less. Icon for the gays though, and symbolic of the 80s
>>122916575So 99% of pop songs are cover versions? Wow, TIL, kind of makes the term useless.
>>122916581Dude, you talked out your ass and got called on it. You have no leg to stand on and have the gall to call others "zoomers." Be an adult and concede the point.
>>122914504>71She’s a decade older than I would have guessed.
>>122916575Nah, other anon is right. Roy Orbison's I Drove All Night is a cover of Cyndi's Lauper's despite him recording his version first because he died and it didn't eventually come out until after her version. Neither of them wrote it and there's a good chance the songwriters performed it but it doesn't matter. It's a Cyndi Lauper song.The term goes back to the pre-vinyl days when a song would become a hit and other performers would rush to record and release a competing version of the same song. Didn't matter who wrote it, the first released for sale was the original and the rest were referred to as cover versions. Your definition doesn't even make sense, because what's the threshold? How many people need to be in earshot of a songwriter performing their song until it gets classified as the original version and everything after that is called a cover? Or is every song not written by the artist to be considered a cover? Dumb.
>>122916519>>122916605You're thinking Max Martin's production style – exclusively write/produce for other artists. Girls Just Want To Have Fun is not the case. Hazard didn't write the song with the specific intention of selling it to another artist, he was approached with a proposal before releasing it.>Robert Hazard didn't even sing on his biggest hit. In 1982, Cyndi Lauper covered Hazard's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," a track that he originally wrote and recorded on a 1979 demo. Hazard's version was never released.>https://www.allmusic.com/artist/robert-hazard-mn0000291054It's a cover.>>122916707Roy Orbison never wrote I Drove All Night, he had nothing to do with it. Songwriting duo Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg did and wanted to sell it to Roy Orbison, with Cyndi releasing it first, then Roy posthumously. Again, Harzard's song is not a Max Martin music factory situation.
>>122916480Jewish women look like Amy Winehouse
>>122916818you're a fucking moron you apparently can't fucking read>>122916707>Neither of them wrote it>>122916818>Roy Orbison never wrote I Drove All Nightfucking moron
>>122916641Yes really, she was 30 when she broke and has always been convinced that the industry railroaded her because of that.
>>122916413>hurrrrr it's a cover durrrrr>links to demo because he's a fucking retard>"that's a demo">hurrrrr aksually he play it live doh durrrrrrrrrr>"here's what cover means">hurrrrr i literally can't read and will argue against things i made up durrrrrrr>hurrrrr you talk out your ass and got called on it durrrrrrrrkys retard
>>122916906>waaahhhh moron wahhhhhTom Kelly and Billy Steinberg exclusively shat out songs for other artists, Hazard didn't. It's his song. Get over it, faggot.
>>122916951this guy >>122916707 literally explained to you what a cover is, moron, stop sperging and try to fucking learn something
>>122914516More like two album wonder
>>122917003>samefagging this hardDon't care about what you think classifies as a "cover." Facts show it's a cover. Cyndi Lauper herself admits to it in her own "Let The Canary Sing" documentary >>122916526 and no amount of times you call someone a "moron" will change that. Seethe, cope & dilate, tranny.
>>122917050>acts like a moron>"moron">hurrrrrr no amount of times you call someone a moron changes it durrrrrrrrrrrfucking moron
>>122916526>If she was going to record the song, she wanted to make sure she transformed its message.It's interesting she says that when she has zero writing credits in it.
>>12291450480s top 40 pop star, with no book about her vagina. perfectly fine.
>>122916118why does a man who hasn't been present in almost 4 years continue to live rent free in your head?
>>122915285>women don't bop.she bop tho
>>122914516she's a three-hit wonder at least>>122914560True Colors is a pop standard too
>>122914704nothing past 1989, grim>>122915833it does
