Not much was thought of it and don't think it was released. A few years later a producer thought it had potential, if tweaked and Cyndi Lauper turned it on it's head, into probably the biggest pro-female anthem of all-time and a worldwide smash https://youtu.be/6zeOag2fU3s The (not very good) original of 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' |
