Hey Now (Girls Just Want to Have Fun)

What do Amazon.com customers think?

A nice little gem!

This is one of the best purchases I made, for any Cyndi Lauper item. The remixes are colorful, groovy, and they make me want to go out to the clubs and dance the night away. I remember the times when I used to go out and dance to "YOU DON'T KNOW". It was fun, but that was basically the only Cyndi song they played as a "Remix" in the clubs...aside from the extended version of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Owning this CD causes the fun to never stop!

I already have the "The World is Stone" and "Yo…

This is one of the best purchases I made, for any Cyndi Lauper item. The remixes are colorful, groovy, and they make me want to go out to the clubs and dance the night away.

Owning this CD causes the fun to never stop!

I already have the "The World is Stone" and "You don't know" CD singles...but it's nice to have all the songs together on one compilation. At first, I wondered why they'd put something so laid-back like "You have to learn to live alone" in such a "moving" compilation...but then I thought...it's a nice way to cool down after all the commotion from the first 8 songs.

Both "The World is Stone" and "You Have to Learn to Live Alone" are penned by Luc Plamondon. I don't like Celine Dion's version of "....Stone", because it's just not sung in a passionate fashion. Cyndi really belts the song out...and the video is special. Very passionate and stunning!

(...)The front cover of this item is gorgeous! Cyndi is a beautiful woman and she's so underrated by some people because of her songs "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "She Bop". Some guys laugh at me as soon as I mention Cyndi Lauper...because they're scared and they don't realize the passionate songwriter behind the songs. Too bad for them...for it's their loss. They don't know what they're missing out on.

My only complaints are:

- the liner booklet should have been printed with credits or something.

- the artwork is slightly fuzzy on inside & back cover.

- design was probably put together quite fast.

Inside the booklet...there's nothing. Cyndi could've put some kind of notes in there...but it's boring & blank.

Like I said above, it seems to have been quickly put together, but in a simple and attractive way. The back photo is blurred & seems too enlarged from the original size photo. The disc itself is attractive and has floral patters on it...such as with the backside of both the booklet and the outer tray card. Recorded Sound & high-frequency volume is excellent. I prefer my CDs in Jewel cases because the artwork doesn't get damaged as easily. Cyndi's stunning cover photo is ageless and the red of the inner tray card brings out Cyndi's ruby red lips.

Tracklist:

Cyndi is very "remix-able" and she's not afraid to do something different...even after 20 years. That's what I like about her.

The search continues...

I've always loved Cyndi Lauper's version of What's Going On

(produced by the brilliant Shep Pettibone).

I have the Original, Club and Instrumental versions on CD

and have been hunting for the elusive Long Version... until now.

Or so I thought.

The one on this CD, unfortunately, must have been transferred

from a master track that is corrupted (kinda like a cassette

with badly-wrinkled tape). As a result, when listening through

headphones, the sound quality is very uneven.

Quite disappointing, really.
