unpiano: music

Man, I have had a crush on Cyndi Lauper for so long now. I was watching her in a movie that she filmed during the late nineties when she was well in her forties and she still looked so good. Plus she still has that Queens accent that makes her sounds like she doesn’t give a fuck. Did you know that she didn’t even get her career off the ground until she was in her late twenties. That’s pretty late for a major pop star. People used to ask her old she was and she would say “What am I a car?”. Even after all that she took her dog Sparkle, brought all her friends together and had a party. They brought a camera, filmed it, and that was the video for ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’ (best video ever by the way).These days her music is largely devoted to her gay fan base with whole albums containing vocal house tracks. While this is not always my favorite genre, she remains really good at it. Just listen to her recent track ‘Lay Me Down’. Yeah it’s cheesy, but at least she does it better than most. All that aside, how rad would it have been to hang out with Cyndi while she toured in Japan or something. She would have made things like being at the airport seem like Disneyland.
