So this one has multiple levels of awesomeness for me.....
1. In high school or early college, I shaved the hair over my ears ala Cyndi Lauper. I am reminded of this tragic fashion faux paus every day when I look into the mirror and see how weird that hair is now.. all wiry and odd-looking. Lesson learned.
2. My Sr. year of high school, our girls glee club sang this song in our all-school variety show. My best friend and I got to make up the movements to go along with the song. I thought I WAS Cyndi Lauper.
3. At one point I had a Capt. Lou Albano sweatshirt. It was my favorite drinking shirt in college. I wonder what happened to it.

Re: Your Weekend Earwig
I love this song! and you got to do that to your hair for realz? I'm a youngster here - I was in mid-elementary school when this came out. My friend would have sleep overs and we'd play Madonna, Cyndi, and Tina. I also love the movie with the same name and appreciate it being on Netflix.
In HS our Spanish teacher would have us conjugate verbs to "She Bop."
I had that cassette I think, but she was never one of my faves. I think I was a bit too young to really dig her. Though her song from The Goonies makes me smile.

Wow.. what school did you go to? I thought She Bop was all about, um, self-gratification.
Oh.. if I could find the pictures when my hair was shaved on the sides. It was really more of a blonde mullet than anything wild and crazy.
Ooooh.. I love google! Just found this on Ebay.
THAT was my shirt! Man, if I only had it now, I could be $59.99 richer!

I know, right?? She was a very eccentric lady - that particular HS (went to 3!) was in a small, conservative town outside of Boston.
LOVE THIS SoNG!
It's my ringtone for my BFFs!
