Podcasts about she's so unusual

Hey guys, today Cate and Lori are singing the praises of singer, songwriter, actress, feminist, activist, and all-around queen, Cyndi Lauper and her breakout 1983 debut album, She’s So Unusual. The gals dance deep into the album’s bops, ballads, and sometimes unusual music videos. In true Cyndi form, things get a little colorful as the ladies talk about their suburban childhood, middle school cafeteria lunches, phone rules, crazy nights past 8 PM, and that very real single teardrop pain of running away from love.

Cyndi Lauper talks "She's So Unusual!"

Friday night sleepovers almost always included a sugar high sing-along to 80s anthem "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." But its punk performer was far more than just some pajama game participant. She was a fashion icon, equal rights crusader and daily presence in the walkman of Bonita Guitierrz (THE WEREWOLF WHISPERER). Now thirty years and a digital revolution later, she is still She-Bopping along to every track as she relates the endearing appeal of Cyndi Lauper's SHE'S SO UNUSUAL.

It's Cyndi Lauper week with D-Listed writer, journalist and Cyndi fan Mieka Strawhorn! We are starting at the very beginning with an album review of the first, the iconic, the never overplayed: "She's So Unusual." So strap a tutu to your head, throw some glitter in the air and get ready to bop like Tipper Gore ain't watchin'! We put on our Prince thongs, play mouth guitars, destroy pool toys and pretend to cry with white girls as we worship this era-defining, activist legend. So get ready to enjoy your private She-Bop, learn about Fiona Shaw's Grammy, and of course HAVE FUN as we celebrate this steel piped joyful Brooklyn Diva!

It's easy to forget that Cyndi Lauper's chart-topping success in the early Eighties was definitely not a given. In this episode of Kick the Jukebox, Kyle and Louie look into how the team behind her solo debut, 1983's "She's So Unusual," polished some unknown songs by lesser-known artists and gave them that much needed Cyndi Lauper charm. The result is a timeless album that's a blast to revisit today: a pop-celebration of outsiders and weirdos everywhere.

On the last of our episodes recorded in Chicago, guest host Shannon Gross takes us for an enthusiastic spin through Cyndi Lauper's 1983 megahit LP, She's So Unusual. We explore how this unconventional voice and icon for punk fashion was able to infiltrate the pop charts during the decade of extremes.If you like us, please support us at patreon.com/idbuythatpodcast to get exclusive content, or tell a friend about us.

This week's behind the scenes dispatch from "Ska Boom! An Oral History About The Birth Of American Ska & Reggae" is a bit about the story of The Hooters.  For those in the know, the band -  which was founded by Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian - burst onto the Philadelphia club scene in 1980 and very quickly became a huge success along their native East Coast. Their unique blend of ska, reggae and rock n roll was a fresh and powerful sound and in 1983 The Hooters released their first independent album "Amore", which sold over 100,000 copies. "Amore" introduced the original ska and reggae versions of songs like "All You Zombies", "Hanging On A Heartbeat", "Fightin' On The Same Side" and "Blood From A Stone."  It was also during this time that Rob and Eric, along with producer Rick Chertoff, wrote and played on Cyndi Lauper's debut album "She's So Unusual".  In this podcast, Rob shares about how he was first introduced to ska while on a family vacation in Jamaica in the mid-60s, the process of starting the band and their ska and reggae sound and what it was like to work and record with Cyndi Lauper and how they brought a ska and reggae influence to songs on her debut album. 

Cyndi Lauper's debut album title She's So Unusual is nothing short of the perfect descriptor for her looks, the sound of her voice, and the genre-bending compilation of tracks that won her Best New Artist at the 1984 Grammy's. Growing up, Big Jay Oakerson was drawn to her strangeness, and he was not alone. Gwen Stefani and Lady Gaga created careers out of replicating and building upon that oddball personality, letting their freak flags fly.  This conversation was recorded in Montreal at Just For Laughs, July 2018.  Jay and Josh go deep on some interesting topics including the heart palpitating music of the '80s, songs to cry to, hip hop figuring out how to entertain and put on a show by studying KISS, and Cyndi's imprint on the evolution of music itself.

The Album: Cyndi Lauper She's So Unsual (1983) She's So Unusual dropped October 14th, 1983, and introduced much of the world to Queens' pop punk tough girl Cyndi Lauper. She presented as a colorful character with colorful hair and colorful homies and charmed her way into pop culture with ten tracks recorded for CBS at the Record Plant, NYC. The former front woman for rockabilly band Blue Angel took a demo written by Philly rocker Robert Hazard and retooled it to become an anthem for her and the Eighties. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" was the hit single that launched She's So Unusual and Cyndi Lauper into fame and led the album to platinum success, with six singles, two Grammy Awards, and critical acclaim for days. She's So Unusual was the pick of astrologer/activist Chani Nicholas, who joined us to break down the relevance and resonance of the album in her life, Cyndi's star appeal, the queer gaze present on the album, Cyndi's quirky Cancerian coolness, and the her impact on music and the masses.

How many times have you heard a female fictional character be described as "not like other girls"? How many times has that made you roll your eyes super hard? Yeah, us too. Mina and Bella have a chat about the quirky girls, the manic pixie dream girl, the clumsy girls - you get the idea. Thanks to K-Face Rules for allowing us to use their song "Talk Nerdy to Me" as our intro and outro.

Two WILDLY different albums that we still loved to pieces, each in their own way. They're like our goth kid and our prep kid that we both support and love. Also, Jacob makes some quantifiable errors in judgment and you don't get to berate him unless you listen to the whole thing, so. Get to it. 488: New Day Rising by Hüsker Dü 487: She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper Theme song by Twenty-Seven Interlude: Acid Jazz by Kevin McLeod of Incompetech.com
