The Best Cyndi Lauper Songs of All Time

Which song would you say is the best from Lauper of all time? Would it be “Girls Just Want to Have Fun?” After all, this one helped put her on the map, and made it clear what we should expect from her style and sound. Lauper wasn’t afraid to be herself from the very beginning.

“Time After Time” is one of the most memorable, too. Over the years, it’s been used in movies like Romy and Michele's High School Reunion, Napoleon Dynamite, and more.

Then there’s “True Colors,” which has been covered many times by other artists. One of the great things about the track is that it is an anthem for the LGBTQ+ community. Lauper has always been a staunch supporter, and that’s what makes this song’s impact everlasting.

“She Bop” became her third biggest single. It was controversial at the time, referencing masturbation and a gay adult magazine called Blueboy.

Finally, we need to mention “I Drove All Night,” which was originally offered to Roy Orbison. He did eventually record it, but Lauper was able to release her track first, making it clear that she loved the idea of a woman being in control and driving. So, no, Orbison didn’t quite cover Lauper, but Celine Dion later would in the 2000s.
