I was at work the other day when this teenage girl came in. Her hair was teased and had blue streaks in it. I complimented her and told her she looked like Cyndi Lauper.


"Who's Cyndi Lauper?" she innocently asked.

Reminds me of having some kids in the car next to me asking me who that cool band was.

I was listening to AC/DC...

She didn't know Cyndi Lauper!!!???? But what's a girl's night without "Girls just wanna have fun!"??? Gah!

Now, now, Rads....it's certainly possible to know a song without knowing the artist. It happens all the time.

Hey, I heard that Dave Grohl was in band before he started the Foo Fighters... were they any good?

Hey, I heard that Dave Grohl was in band before he started the Foo Fighters... were they any good?

What was that band called? Shangri La? Or something like that?

[Sliceanddice]

[Chazzie]

There are worse things.

Like when I had to explain to my neighbor who the muppets are.

[dalesys]

Cyndi Lauper? Isn't that someone the children are listening to? {imagine old fart smiley}

[Food Lady]

She's like your age, dalesys!

[Sunsetsky]

Who is Cyndi Lauper?

[dalesys]

She's like your age, dalesys!

Between my 2 oldest little sisters.

At the time of her first release (1980) I was feeding 5 tricycle motors.

One of my favorite musicians of my second childhood (Valerie Vigoda of GrooveLily) did a stint in Cyndi's touring band circa 1998 and got good training in sass.

For those who are asking in all seriousness, Cyndi Lauper was an 80's pop star in much the same vein as early Madonna, best known for "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "Time After Time."

[CaptainJaneway]

Cyndi Lauper can be seen on the upcoming season of the The Apprentice with a bunch of other celebrities.

Geeze my 13 year old is better versed in music from the 80's and older than some of these guys it's ridiculous. Doesn't anyone pay attention to what came BEFORE what's out there now?
