Some waffle about Cyndi Lauper

  • June 20, 2008
  • Popjustice

For the benefit of anyone under the age of 74, Cyndi Lauper was a popstar in the 80s who was famous for her colourful look and for having dyed hair before it was even popular. She was basically the proto-MIA. But what does this have to do with anything, you’re probably wondering. 

WELL. 

Good old Cyndi has done a song with Andreas Kleerup — aka Kleerup — for her eagerly awaited comeback album. It’s called ‘Lay Me Down’ and it is quite good, in a sort of ’not as good as ‘With Every Heartbeat’’ kind of way. You can hear it by clicking on the YouTubular box below this paragraph.

The video is a bit weird, isn’t it? 

*takes joke outside to be shot*
