She's quirky, she loves vintage clothing and she just wants to have fun. Cyndi Lauper's female anthem catapulted her to stardom in 1983 her equally quirky video won her the Best Female Video at the MTV Video Music Awards the following year. She does a conga line with her female friends throughout the Village and downtown New York before heading back to her parent's house for a party to end all parties.

The tunnel and chairs seen just prior to the 3 minute mark are at the 200 Water Street Digital Clock in Manhattan. My office was located right up the block at 111 John Street when the video was made.
