#16 of VJ Samsonite's Top 100 80's Dance Hits Countdown: 'Girls Just Want To Have Fun' by Cyndi Lauper (1983)

Welcome back everybody! Here we are again, this time presenting #16 of the countdown! And the song is 80's teen-bubble-gum favorite Girls Just Want To Have Fun, by that very unusual and no doubt one of the most memorable and classic high-octave American pop-stars of the 1980's, miss Cyndi Lauper. Girls Just Want To Have Fun can be found on Lauper's 1983 release and mega-hit album She's So Unusual, and is bar-none her most well-known signature track, and is one of those staple 80's dance-floor songs that gets the ladies dancing. The song would peak at #2 on both the UK Singles Chart and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, while reaching #1on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Club Play and Eurochart Hot 100 charts.  Cyndi Lauper was born in 1953 in New York City, and according to wikipedia she was the first female singer to have 4 top 5 singles released off of one album, although I can imagine that Madonna would have shortly become the second female singer to do the same, however I am not completely sure on that fact. Lauper's wikipedia also states that she has released 11 albums and hailed over 40 hit singles and has sold somewhere around 25 million records worldwide. So there is #16, and we get down to the final 15!
