These 4.5 minutes we have here are the music video for the Cyndi Lauper song "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" directed by Edd Griles, still a very well-known tune today almost 35 years after its release. Lauper was around the age of 30 back then, maybe slightly under, and in this film she basically tries to convince her parents that all she wants is really just to have fun. The second half of the film then is basically a(n outdoor) party with all her friends. So yes this is a really catchy tune without a doubt and it makes up for the lack of depth in the lyrics, which basically nothing but the chorus. At least this chorus is a statement that is still really true today several decades later. The video is really very random though and not memorable at all I must say. Kinda shocked to see this got a great deal of awards attention at the VMAs back then. I think it is enough if you listen to the song without watching the music video. That song was a huge hit back then and I am not surprised. Thanks to the catchy music, I will be generous and give a thumbs-up here.
