Girls Just Want to Have Fun was Cyndi Lauper’s first major single as a solo artist.
In Japan, its initial title was High School wa Danceteria, which was later corrected to a katakana rendering of the original title.
The song reached number one in 10 countries and entered the top 10 in more than 15 countries.

This is a track from the album “A Night to Remember.” The title translates to “unconditional love” in Japanese, and you can sense feelings like compassion and tenderness in the song’s tone.
In the latter half, there are many expressions that are characteristically Cyndi.
That’s What I ThinkCyndi Lauper
“That’s What I Think” is a song released as a single in 1993 from the fourth album, “Hat Full of Stars.” It has a lively rhythm, and the lyrics (in my personal opinion) express the singer’s feelings for her beloved boyfriend.
The Goonies ‘r’ Good EnoughCyndi Lauper
It’s the song that climbed the hit charts in that movie and made me aware of her.
The intro is poppy, and since it came from the film, it naturally became a hit.
It’s a song that represents the ’80s of that era.
This BGM also appears in video games.
She BopCyndi Lauper
The intro has an ’80s feel.
It starts with a poppy verse that’s very her style, and it’s a fun song that builds anticipation as it moves into the pre-chorus.
Personally, I love the ’80s themselves, and I’m fond of the elements people often call commercial music.
I think this song is like that too.
