Cyndi Lauper

Got this endless itch to ride
Into the night
Fortune cookie says I'm right
Kung Fu-like

Shake your body, mister
Gonna make ya body blister, say "hey, hey, hey"
Don't wanna have to make ya
I don't wanna have to shake ya down, hey, hey, hey

I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
Pitter, patter, doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
And in love
Into the nightlife
I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
Turn you over baby 'til its never enough
I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
And in love
Into the night
Like love
Into the nightlife-ife-ife-ife-ife

Want to dress for you tonight
Under the light
Shot up like a satellite
Into the night
Shake ya money maker
I will never be a faker now, hey hey hey
Leave 'em standin' waitin'
Till they're practically faintin' now, hey hey hey

I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
Pitter, patter, doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
And in love
Into the nightlife
I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
Turn you over baby 'til it's never enough
I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
And in love
Into the night
Like love
Into the nightlife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight
Shirtless wonders wreck my sight
Under the light-ight-ight-ight-ight-ight

I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
Pitter, patter, doesn't matter what you got
I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
And in love
Into the nightlife
I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
Turn you over baby 'til it's never enough
I'll take ya 'til ya all spun up
And in love
Into the night
Like love
Into the nightlife-ife-ife
Into the nightlife-ife-ife
Into the nightlife-ife-ife
Into the nightlife-ife-ife-ife-ife-ife

Shirtless wonders wreck my sight
Under the light-ight-ight-ight-ight-ight

An 80’s pop starlet that skyrocketed her way to the top of the mainstream game, Cyndi Lauper has made her mark as an artist both socially and musically.

Beginning her solo career in the 1983 with hit debut album She’s So Unusual, Lauper came to be a household name with the four top-five hits that came with the record, including breakthrough single “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the visceral, chart-topping “Time After Time”. Her camp attitude, electrifying vocals, and unrelenting earworms made an impression on the general public, and she would take home Best New Artist and Best Album Package at the Grammy’s for She’s So Unusual, amidst 4 other nominations. Lauper would never reach the same sort of stardom again musically following She’s So Unusual, but her legacy was far from over.

She’s So Unusual set the ground for her next True Colors. Released in 1986, the album most notably contained title-track “True Colors”, which would grow to become a primary anthem of the gay rights movement. Lauper would later serve as a key advocate of the LGBT community, and she has fairly consistently addressed homophobia throughout her career.
