Cyndi Lauper rose to fame in the 1980s with this energetic song that's all about girl power.... that was written and originally performed by a man, Robert Hazard, who wrote and performed the song from the male perspective.
Lauper flipped the script, upped the poppiness, recruited The Hooters for her backing band, and a classic was born.
Oh, and that's really her mom.
A decade later, when it was time for that greatest hits albums, Lauper rerecorded the song with a reggae flair. Was it as good? No. Was it different? Yep.
Yep, this is part of Dawn's concert series. She sure did see Cyndi Lauper in Toronto. And this is probably Lauper's last tour, so this is one of her last live performances of the song.
