Jenny 2 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 Last night I was watching VH1 Classic and they had on a Cyndi Lauper concert. She sang with Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver), Pat Monahan (Train), Ani DiFranco, Shaggy and The Hooters. It was a good reminder of why I was a fan of hers in the '80's and her voice still kicks major booty! So, in this thread we can discuss her, her music, and if anyone else is a fan, maybe recommend some albums and songs for the younger generation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonJonSurfer 15 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 I know little more than her video hits, but she has some voice...she can belt 'em out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenny 2 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 I didn't know that much more, either, Ron, but that concert sparked my interest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rtstuff 0 Report post Posted April 5, 2006 I heard Cyndi sing "Take me out to the ball game" at Wrigley Field about 4 years ago. It was cool. As everyone has said, great voice! rtstuff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Earth-Angel 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2006 I love Cyndi because she went against the grain, she's wacky and has a most unusual pitch to her voice. She was the epitome of 80's punkypop chick for me - I loved her more when she sang for The Goonies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daslied 1 Report post Posted April 6, 2006 I love you more because you loved her more for singing about The Goonies. They never die, you know. I think she's a much better singer than the work she's known for. She actually has a really great voice. And think about what she did for the career of Captain Lou Albano.

Malakin 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2006 "Time After Time " -- ( sniff ) ,-- Bugger off ! I'm not crying ! ( sniff ) --Allergies...Spring after all ... Which was written for her, as was most of that album, by the Hooters. Glad to see, UncleJoe, there's more than just me who remembers them! Eric Bazillian, one of the main songwriters of the Hooters was also nearly singlehandedly responsible for the career of Joan Osborne, having written What if God Was One of Us for her.

Jenny 2 Report post Posted April 7, 2006 I remember The Hooters, too. I want to check out some of their stuff as well, because all I know are "And We Danced" and "All You Zombies" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tenacious_Peaches 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2006 BAZOOKA! It's the "fecal critique" article! I immediately thought about it when I saw this thread. Fecal critique. That is honestly one of the funniest phrases I have ever heard. Tee hee. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carl 22 Report post Posted April 8, 2006 We interviewed The Hooters - Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian. They were a big part of the sound for her first album, doing production, instruments and songwriting. Check out: Time After Time All You Zombies One Of Us And, we interviewed Billy Steinberg, who wrote True Colors Since we have big casinos here in Connecticut, I got Sara tickets to see Cyndi perform while I played blackjack (this was, of couse, when we were still together *sniff*). Sara and her friend raved about how Cyndi had so much energy, a great voice, and really connected with the audience. I had the equivalent of the bird pooping in my mouth at the blackjack table.
