A really good record of New Wave and Synth Pop music. The photo on the cover was shot by Annie Leibovitz in Coney Island. Mostly covers although she does have a writing credit on four of the songs. The record had three videos that I remember watching in Hull when I watched a lot of MTV after getting off work in the shipyard on second shift. &#8220;Girls Just Want To Have Fun&#8221; is certainly one of the most well known videos and was written by Robert Hazard. The first song &#8220;Money Changes Everything&#8221; is a cover of a song by The Brains followed by &#8220;Girls&#8230;&#8221; then a Prince cover &#8220;When You Were Mine&#8221; and the last song on side one is &#8220;Time After Time&#8221; a beautiful song written by Lauper and Rob Hyman of The Hooters who along with Eric Bazillan play most of the music on this album. Side two has &#8220;She Bop&#8221; a song I always kind of liked followed by another nice song&#8221;All Through The Night&#8221; written by Jules Shear. Also on side two is &#8220;Witness&#8221; a song from her Blue Angel days and &#8220;&#8221;He&#8217;s So Unusual&#8221; a song from the 20&#8217;s sung in the style of Betty Boop. The album closes with another cover &#8220;Yeah Yeah&#8221;. A fun album to listen to. I bought this used sometime in the 90&#8217;s. I did&#8217;t care for any of her music after this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Her first solo album after leaving the unsuccessful band Blue Angel.
