Well I know you shouldnt speak ill of the dead but I’m gonna anyway. The Hazzard guy, is just wrong. Sounds like a punked up speeded up Bryan Ferry on Crack. This is Cyndi’s song all the way! 🙂

The funny thing is, he’s the original artist!! It’s one of those situations where the cover did better than the original!

I didn’t know this was originally by Robert Hazzard. Huh. Gotta go with Cyndi though. Love her version and the video. She makes me want to dance.☺️

I’ve never heard anyone other than Lauper sing Girls Just Wanna Have Fun so I had to play Hazard. For me, he didn’t catch the frivolousness of the song–it’s power.

Ya. I figured this one would go that way. I just wanted to post it because most people don’t know that poor Robert was the original artist! Gotta give credit where it’s due! 😉

She definitely does!! I had a feeling she would kill in this “Who did it better?” but, it was an educational Monday! I wanted everyone to know that Robert Hazard did the song first!! 🤣

Wow, I assumed that it was Cyndi Lauper who sang it first, so I listened to Robert Hazard, but I still prefer Cyndi’s version.
