Top 10 Best Cyndi Lauper Songs
Cyndi Lauper didn't just arrive in the 80s. She crash-landed in neon combat boots and rewrote the rules of pop music with a voice that could shatter glass or soothe your soul, sometimes in the same chorus.Before her solo debut, she fronted a band called Blue Angel, but the real fireworks started in 1983 with She's So Unusual. That album refused to play by anyone's rules and still managed to rack up multi-platinum sales. From there, she proved she wasn't just another bubblegum pop singer riding the MTV wave. Her catalog stretches far beyond one era, touching rock, blues, new wave, even musical theater. She can do stripped-down vulnerability just as easily as high-voltage eccentricity.
This list is where you decide which songs deserve the spotlight. Your votes shape the ranking. Think a certain ballad deserves more love? Or maybe a forgotten deep cut needs its comeback moment? Here's your chance to change the lineup.
It's impossible to determine which is Cyndi Lauper's best song, because all her songs are incredible. She is the best singer of all time. Music wouldn't be the same without her.
Girls Just Want to Have Fun is definitely one of my favorite songs by Cyndi Lauper, truly awesome in every way.
Cyndi's debut album is one of the greatest pop albums in history. This song was and still is great and memorable. I miss the '80s.
The best of her songs. Her voice is amazing, and she has magnificent talent.
The most underrated Cyndi song, in my opinion. I feel like so many children were conceived to this song. Magical.
I've been looking for this track ever since I heard a local rendition at a bar in Singapore. Love it very much.
How is this not in the top ten? A classic! The chorus is phenomenal!
Wonderful song. While Girls Just Want to Have Fun is fun, Time After Time stands out among her many great songs for me. I have it on my mobile player. It never fails to touch me emotionally.
I understand the nostalgia regarding Girls Just Want to Have Fun, but Time After Time should not rank second to it. By far, it's Cyndi's best song.
Such a beautiful song! I'm a teenager of the 2010s and I really love this song from the 1980s. By far the best song by Cyndi, and I will continue loving this artist for generations.
This song is my all-time favorite Cyndi Lauper song! Cyndi is my favorite performer. I love this song and Sisters of Avalon.
Amazing song, and really good whenever live!
Love this song so much! And the video!
I can't get enough of this song! Even if it was made for a movie, it's great!
I love this song! It's so catchy and very Goonie! Never say die!
I like Cyndi's version better than Prince's. Enough said.
Vocally, this is one of her most amazing songs. It is powerful and emotional. Whether listening to the recording or a live version, it's always impressive. I think a lot of people just don't know about it.
I would love it if she performed this song more often. It proves she is one of the greatest vocalists of our time.
Awesome! Love the emotion and power!
The Newcomers
The musicality of this song is brilliant. Her voice suits Gaye's song perfectly. She hit the top 20 with this, and the video stayed in the MTV top 20 countdown for weeks. It is a gorgeous production.
Amazing and fun song! I loved her in Vibes, and I can't listen to this song enough!
This rendition of the song just blows my mind. That high note she hits near the end is simply an exclamation point. Awesome, Cyndi.
I think this song is the best among her tracks. It contains her longest note and rarest vocal quality. I like Celine's performance, but I believe Cyndi's rendition is superior. Her rare and long notes in All Through the Night stand out, and her voice is rare, strong, deep, and wonderful.
The way she sings this sends chills throughout my body. It's unlike any other song she sings.
I love this song. To me, it represents a new evolution in her sound, marking her success in a new era. It reached #1 on the Billboard Dance chart, proving her continued relevance in today's music scene. An excellent dance song.
Totally underrated and unknown. If it had been released as the second single from the album, it would have been a huge hit.
Probably her greatest breakup song. Such feeling and emotion went into it, and the lyrics really convey how she feels.
