I had a dream meeting Cyn after one of her concerts backstage and I said hello to her and she said: what the hell do u want? I certainly hope in person she is not snappy or rude👍
She was 33 years old here. She had such a good way of marketing her personality in with her musical talent. She was a genius, dramatic vocalizations, etc. It really worked well for her. It's almost as if she was attempting to be an adult child. That voice was brilliant.
No argument here. The woman knows her stuff. Her rendition of "Money Changes Everything" is one for the ages. There's a clip of her doing at at about the age of 50. She's brilliant. It's one of my dreams to play drums for Cyndi Lauper. (I'm a drummer for a living.)
@@UgoVite Well, possibly among the elderly in places like Staten Island it could still be heard, but nowhere near Manhattan. It's considered too "working class" and mobster-y, so New Yorkers tried their hardest to lose it. Kids today no longer speak it, nor do their parents for that matter.
@@chapswick thanks for the interesting cultural insight. Back in thr 80-90 I hear this accent often in US media. Too bad its a dying, its such a friendly sounding and down to earth accent
Cyndi Lauper is absolutely adorable here! I wouldve loved to have been there at that time. She deserved a big hug. Thats why her marriage to David Thornton lasted more than 20 years. She's a nice person who married another nice person.
Cyn was adorable and her voice she used on stage when she talked was apart of her character and she has that New York accent🤗She was born and raised in NY...I have heard her talk in other interviews years later and her voice is more mature and sweet👍
im happy she is still alive waoo thats incredible because the most of the 80s singers they are dead for aids or drugs or another diseases etc waoo i love shee!!
I must be slow as all Hell tonight because I don't get that joke at all. But I still love her! Maybe the whole point of the joke was that it isn't funny? I dunno?
In another show she told the same joke and had a japanese friend with her, who told the joke again in japanese and that sounded funny but nobody laughed because of the joke. I think the name Skeezix is maybe like Schizo... and the crazy wall bouncing guy didn´t know that he was there yesterday. Maybe he got multiple personalities ? Did I get the joke ? But, is it funny ?
Before her 1st album went ballistic I saw her in Springfield Mass. She opened up for the Kinks. Standing room only type of gig, no assigned seats. I was right there at the stage. It was a great concert. She is incredibly talented. Always had a crush on her.
Imagine a “musician “ from today going on tv and acting like her. Wonder what would happen. I was 13 when this came on (no I didn’t watch it). I really didn’t care to much about her then but absolutely respect and like her now for who she was then and what she stood for. She wasn’t sleaze like another popular female singer of that era was. We need more CL’s today. So humble
American singer, songwriter, actress and activist. Her career has spanned over 40 years. Her album She's So Unusual was the first debut album by a female artist to achieve four top-five hits on the Billboard Hot 100-"Girls Just Want to Have Fun", "Time After Time", "She Bop", and "All Through the Night"-and earned Lauper the Best New Artist award at the 27th Grammy Awards in 1985. Her success continued with the soundtrack for the motion picture The Goonies and her second record True Colors (1986). This album included the number one single "True Colors" and "Change of Heart", which peaked at number three. In 1989, she had a hit with "I Drove All Night".
Cyndi evokes such a youthful and energetic attitude and persona and tweens and teens are her biggest fans and she's like fricken' 35 here! She looks and acts 23! So young looking and youthful persona! Big fan herw.
xirsamoht x Dave’s schtick was kind of dic****dish and I agree that was kind of a corny move to say that. I happen to think this woman incredibly sweet and adorable.
She is so freakin adorable
oh man I know she was a huge crush of mine in the 80's!
Yes she is as beautiful and talented as stevie nicks
Charlie James agreed with you. Cyndi and Stevie. Two of my loves
So true.
Yes she is
I wish I could go back to 1986 and hang out with Cyndi. She's wonderful.
Same but you can still hang out with her it’s not like she’s dead she’s just old now But yeah I would want to hang out with 1986 cyndi too
I had a dream meeting Cyn after one of her concerts backstage and I said hello to her and she said: what the hell do u want? I certainly hope in person she is not snappy or rude👍
@@RandomBlake Nah it's not gonna be the same
I'll bet Dave thinks the same thing.
she would hate you, you must be a special needs person
I’m on a Cyndi Lauper kick. I’m watching lots of her videos. She is so damn cool and an amazing singer. Her voice has a hundred different layers.
I’m a year behind you but doing the same thing!!
Same. So wishing I hadn't bought her "act" back in the 80s.. I can see now and immensely appreciate her brilliance. She's just wonderful.
Same here 3 years later! If only we had such interesting characters like this in the todays music world!!
I grew up with her music ,yet I never realized how funny and adorable she was..
Love this kid.!!
She's like a little kid, I love it!❤️
Her voice is very cute she reminds me of Betty Boop.
yesssssss so true girl
Omg wow I just said that too
+Laurie Leal Her voice sounds exactly the same as her singing voice. Girly but slurred.
Emmanuel Dunk I even told my sister that lol
She reminds me of Jester Harley Quinn
She is so adorable I can't even...
One of the most beautiful talented person going, and that accent just adds to it. Cyndi rules 🤘
i love her she is just so different with a nice new york accent
She's British. Not new york.
@@daviddemastus6488 are u from stupidtown? Shes from brooklyn 😭
@@slayerofgrannies from the Queens actually 😉
@@daviddemastus6488 Cyndi Lauper is not British.

She's my childhood idol. so beautiful.

I can see her and Peewee Herman working miracles together.
Lots of help from captain lou albano 🤘
She looked like she was in her early twenties, still a kid at hart ,
Oh wow I thought she was in her 20s
Cyndi Lauper so cute voice.
She’s an 80’s icon. An American treasure and should be treated as such.
she was and still is so lovely cute and super mega talented. a true artist
Her voice is soooo cute!
cutest person ever
OMG HOT DOG SHE'S SO DARN GORGEOUS AND HER VOICE REMINDS ME OF BETTY BOOP!!!
SOOOOO PRESH
She’s so sweet
cyndi lauper has gradually become one of my favourite artists of all time, among greats like bob dylan, john lennon, bruce springsteen etc

Love her accent
Gabe Brooks Me too! That's one tough good ole Queens accent :) Too bad New Yorkers no longer talk like that
@@chapswick is this true?! So nobody talking like Fran Fine or Janice from Friends anymore? That's so sad :/

Thank you, I had no idea. This is so interesting!

What a great accent.
Her voice is so authentic - ahh Those were the days! ❤
Believe it or not Cyndi is 33 years old here. Youd think she was 20. She is now 68 but could passs off for 50. Shes beautiful .
She Is 65😌
She's 70 now - soon to be 71.
@@marzipanmonkey Thanks for reminding me of how cringey I was 6 years ago lol
@@Seegie16 Haha, you weren't at all. She does look great for her age still. Just crazy how time flies!
She’s so adorable, she been always on e of my favorite singers of all time
She’s an absolute button.
Still is.
Now and forever! ❤️
She’s so amazing love her voice
She is just wonderful!
If suicide squad was an 80s movie she would've been Harley, without a question
Jack Shipway yes!! I have unfortunately never seen the movie as much as I want to she could've totally pulled her off! :)
Omg that just came in my mind she sounds like the voice actors
@@mr.bannana9048 I wouldn't be surprised if they partially based the voice of Harley on Cyndi.
Yeah she would be perfect as Harley Quinn
I heard Cyndi Lauper was actually the inspiration for Harley Quinn, and I gotta say it seems pretty fkn accurate.
I will to return to '80! She is lovely, adorable.
SHES SO CUTE IM screaming
She could be a stand up comedian.
I like how she goes back to her usual voice when she starts telling the joke hahah. She's awesome
Cyndi Lauper is absolutely adorable here! I wouldve loved to have been there at that time. She deserved a big hug. Thats why her marriage to David Thornton lasted more than 20 years. She's a nice person who married another nice person.

WHAT A DELIGHT SHE IS...SHE DOESNT TAKE HERSELF TO SERIOUSLY BUT SHE SINGS LIKE AN ANGEL.
R u alive?
im happy she is still alive waoo thats incredible because the most of the 80s singers they are dead for aids or drugs or another diseases etc waoo i love shee!!
Well those singers that we do have left from the 80s were pretty huge then and a lot of them are still kicking ass today. :)
I LOVE THAT JOKE! I remember it from then and have been so trying to find it! Thank you for posting! Cyndi rules!
Can you explain it for me? I can’t understand cause I’m not a native speaker
I must be slow as all Hell tonight because I don't get that joke at all. But I still love her! Maybe the whole point of the joke was that it isn't funny? I dunno?

Maybe he got multiple personalities ?
Did I get the joke ?
But, is it funny ?
She always reminded me of the Janine character from Ghostbusters.
she is sooo sweet,now she is old but still beautiful
54 is old?
Before her 1st album went ballistic I saw her in Springfield Mass. She opened up for the Kinks. Standing room only type of gig, no assigned seats. I was right there at the stage. It was a great concert. She is incredibly talented. Always had a crush on her.
Paramount? Symphony hall? Civic center?

i love her she such a sweetheart

I Soo Love Her!!!!!
I love Cyndi Lauper and like the New York accent, her songs are great!:)
She is great, I real character, just what we love here in the UK. And a great singer, quite unique.
sweet voice
am in love with her
Her album should have been called, "She's So Adorable".
Cyndi evokes such a youthful and energetic attitude and persona and tweens and teens are her biggest fans and she's like fricken' 35 here! She looks and acts 23! So young looking and youthful persona! Big fan herw.
Her witness was and is incredible at such a young age.
I love her
she...is...perfect!
The way she says "salt water taffy" is sooo freaking adorable!!!!!!!!!
I still cannot understand this joke, but I laugh when she told it because she’s so cute
Omg she's so adorable!
"When you say things to yourself, do you use that voice?" Well, that was a shitty thing to ask. I happen to love that voice.
xirsamoht x Dave’s schtick was kind of dic****dish and I agree that was kind of a corny move to say that. I happen to think this woman incredibly sweet and adorable.
He is and always will be a condescending pretentious interviewer
Such adorable voice I've ever heard in my entire life
She's so cute and unique. Live her 😀👍💯
Cyndi Lauper, the love of muy life. I love you so much
This is when she started changing in 1986. Her voice was different in 1983-1985.
I want my future children to have that accent
I want a future child. who cares about an accent.
i'd forgotten how much i loved her
My goodness Cyndi looks THE BOMB here. I DIE for the crimp and hat, sooooo FAB!
The 80's were so quirky and wonderful
Just LUV Miss Lauper. So genuine and funny!
The way she talks - her voice and accent makes me think of Fran Fine from The Nanny 😍
Except Cyndi Lauper doesn't talk with an annoying, nasally voice. 😀
Such an amazing and charismatic character she is! And so cute!
I still love her. She is the best.
i love cyndi so much she so very different to the other female artist.
I remember watching this episode; it was late August 1986. Just before 'True Colors' , the single, came out.
How nice she brought gifts for everybody! Such kindness, Ina loopy way!
Paul says, "My favorite" 😁🤣 love how he says this
She is the cutest!
I don't know what she said, but I sure like the way she said it 🤗
She's a peach! I absolutely adore her!!
So genuine and kind.
She was really cute in the 80s. She is still an incredible singer and an artist that I still respect and admire to this day. :)
shes so cute ;)
my spirit animal
I love her music and I love her style/clothes!
what a complete sweetheart. just a damn sweetheart. I wouldn't cross her, but a sweet heart.
She is so new York and I love it ❤ she so so cute and lovely 😍
I have never forgotten this joke since I saw it on Letterman. Classic
I absolutely love CL.
I says to myself... OMG love her lol

She was really good at interviews
Mi Reyna ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a gem!
She has a severe Queens NY accent. We are both from Ozone Park
I am from Howard Beach
I agree that "severe" is an appropriate word to describe it. (I have a severe upstate NY accent, so I know severe accents.)
Legend!!
Queens NY! Cyndi is our girl!! 👑💞💞💞
Big love for Cyndi
Hi! Cindy im your no.1 Fan in the Philippines I love all your song I hope to see you in person one of my dreams in my life
What the actually fuck, this show was filmed a feeeeeew years before 9/11 and they clearly do a reference to those numbers/date
Yeah, 15 years before 9/11...
The 80's predicted 9/11 😧
jeffery smith Skizicks MacPhearson = Spanish code for "eliminate the infidel".
Umm, they're talking about the 911 emergency number 😒
This was taped 1986...way before 9/11
Love her!
