A Quote by Shawn Amos

Her makeup, hair and general quirkiness overshadow the fact that Cyndi Lauper was one the most soulful chicks to come out of the '80s.

When I was in grade school in L.A., I really loved Cyndi Lauper. I did everything I could to look like her. I had wild outfits and always wore different coloured socks. I wore loads of ribbons in my hair and let them fall in my eyes.

If you go back to the '80s, you had a whole plethora of artists, everyone from Madonna and Cyndi Lauper to Prince. God bless Lady Gaga for doing her thing, but she's kind of a lone peacock now. If anything, we have a much more conservative kind of pop world. It's not necessarily about individuality.

Boy George

I was such a fan of Cyndi Lauper and her whole 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' thing.

Lea Thompson

For me, the '80s was great because you had Boy George, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Prince, and Cyndi Lauper. No one put boxes saying this is urban, this is popular, this is underground. It was just good or bad.

Stampede Wrestling was a promotion started by my grandfather, Stu Hart. When I was competing for them, I would come out 'through the curtain,' slapping everyone's hands to my ring song, Cyndi Lauper's 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun.'

Natalya Neidhart

We've known Cyndi Lauper since she was in 'Blue Angel'; we did a TV show with her back in '79 or '80. We don't have any competition; we're complementary.

Look, I got 11,052 songs on my iPod. Cyndi Lauper, Guns N' Roses, Geto Boys, N.W.A.... push shuffle and anything will come on.

Big Boi

Look, I got 11,052 songs on my iPod. Cyndi Lauper, Guns N' Roses, Geto Boys, N.W.A. push shuffle and anything will come on.

I think this [Feels like Christmas] is one of the greatest, most unsung albums ever. It's Cyndi Lauper, and it's called Hat Full Of Stars. She's so underrated.

Alex Borstein

One night, I knocked out Mr. T, kicked Cyndi Lauper, chased Dick Clark back to his locker room, and slapped Little Richard.

Roddy Piper

Cyndi Lauper knows how to work a crowd.

It's the most natural progression for me to becoming a singing sensation next. And so many people have offered to be on it. Eddie Van Halen... and Prince, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper will probably be a backup trio.

Paul Reubens

I was in the video for Cyndi Lauper's 'Sally's Pigeons' when I first started acting.

Julia Stiles

Cyndi Lauper was hilarious and generous, someone I'd loved from childhood who didn't disappoint.

Emma Forrest

Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time' was a perfect song. It was so beautiful and so heartfelt. Her vocals were so amazing. And, for me, that was a song I went to when I was feeling sad and wanted to feel even sadder.

Lea Thompson

I was on stage with Cyndi Lauper, and my trousers split. It seemed like she was going to sing for ever.
