Money Changes Everything. The studio version with the full melodica solo by Rob Hyman of The Hooters, who co-wrote and produced several songs on the She's So Unusual aobum.

It's a cover song, but her performance of it is amazing, and it's a fantastic song.

Runner up is I Drove All Night, a song by powerhouse writers Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly, and written for Roy Orbison, who recorded it but didn't have his version released until 2 years later, after his death. Cyndi's version was the first one released (we don't talk about Celine Dion's awful cover).

Other Steinberg/Kelly compositions include Madonna's Like A Virgin, the Bangles' Eternal Flame,. Heart's Alone, and the Divinyls' I Touch Myself.

This was my favourite advert as a kid, and still one of the most memorable ever: Obviously it's a cover, not Cyndi Lauper's version, but still a great song.

True colors is nice, so is girls just want to have fun, but this the only one that I put on repeat. I really resonate with it.

I have to choose "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" out of the three named options, even though I don't particularly like it very much either...

This is only because I like cover versions of the other two better than her originals, especially the Eva Cassidy cover of Time After Time - but also Ane Brun's cover of True Colours.

All of the above. Her music brings back memories of every place I listened to them. A kind of comfort.

ArrowheadSW · Answer

I voted "A" but all the choices that you put up, are great. She had a lot of good songs. I listen to them every now and then.

Objectively that would be both Time After Time & True Colors which were #1 hits for 20 weeks each on the billboard chart.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

“True Colors”, but “Goonies Are Good Enough” deserves honorable mention!

AviatorTom · Answer

She's best known for Girls Just Wanna Have Fun but Time After Time may be a better song

Pudsmucker · Answer

I like all of Cyndi lauper's music. But I think the most memorable is Time after Time. I think it was used for an advertisement for some phone company.
