"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is a song made famous by Cyndi Lauper four years after it was written by Robert Hazard.[2] It was the first major single released by Lauper as a solo artist and the lead single from her debut studio album, She's So Unusual (1983). Lauper's version gained recognition as a feminist anthem and was promoted by a Grammy-winning music video. It has been covered, either as a studio recording or in a live performance, by over 30 other artists.
