Girls just wanna have this on Spotify. ❤

saw a short of you talking about this song, and i immediately checked to see if you had a full cover, youre an amazing singer and this cover is beautiful 💕💕💕

IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR SOMEONE TO SING THIS WELL. THIS SHOULDVE COMPLETELY BLOWN UP ALREADY.

For those who don’t get the misogyny lemme break it down. First of all context is key, in the Male version his first line is “the phone rings in the middle of the night” and the father saying he needs to get his life together aka saying he needs to settle down. The man says that his father is the “fortunate one” implying that he is lucky he bagged a woman because “girls just wanna have fun” which in context is him saying “I cant settle down, women only want sex not marriage” also implying he blames women for his lack of a relationship. In the female version she sings the second verse first “I come home in the morning light” and the mother says “when you gonna live your life right? Also implying that she should settle down. She sings “oh mother dear we’re not the fortunate ones” meaning that women (historically speaking) don’t get the chance to go out and enjoy there youth before being pressured into settling down, “but girls, they want to have fun” followed by “oh girls just wanna have fun” meaning that women want to enjoy there youth and not be rushed into marriage. The change in tone from “girls just” to “but girls, they want” also changes the implications, the male version sounds like a guy blaming women, the second is a women stating that she desires more than just a husband. These little details, while hard to notice, can completely change the meaning behind a song. In the male second verse, he sings the “come home in the morning light” which after the first line of “the phone rings in the middle of the night” imply a that he’s just come home from a hookup, when followed by his mother yelling for him to “live his life right” instead of reflecting, he blames women again by stating that “girls just want to have fun” In the female version she sings “the phone rings in the middle of the night” which after the first line of “coming home in the morning light” imply that she is going out for the night with friends her father yelling “ what you gonna do with your life?” Means that he thinks she should focus on getting married rather than going out with friends. She reply’s “oh daddy dear you know you’re still number 1” which is her saying “I don’t want to marry yet” aka he’s still the number 1 man in her life. The final line in each helps reinforce the meaning behind them both. The male version sings “these girls just wanna have fun” meaning he doesn’t have a girl in mind, he means all Women of marrying age in his generation. It tells the listener that he blames women for the fact he isn’t married and he believes that there are no good women anymore who want to get married. The female version sings “Oh girls, they wanna have fun” reiterating the point that young women want to enjoy there lives, breaking away from traditional values where women get pressured into marrying young, and intern waste there youth. (Obviously I’m not saying that all women who marry young waste there youth but this is from the perspective of a girl living in a time where it was expected for young women to throw away their lives and get married asap) So to conclude, The male version is the story of a man who sleeps around, wishes to and is pressured to settle down by his parents but can’t for whatever reason. And instead of searching for a wife he blames women, stating that women just want sex and not a committed relationship, he complains about how he can’t find a girl to marry, insinuating that there are not good women left. The female version is the story of a woman who is pressured by her parents to settle down when all she wants to do is live her life and enjoy her youth. It’s about a young woman who doesn’t want to marry young, despite the societal pressure to get married. Remember this song released in 1983, a time where it was more normal for young people to marry early, girls just wanna have fun is a song about women enjoying their lives before rushing into marriage and it tells women that while you can get married, there is nothing wrong with wanting to party and enjoy youth. I hope this was helpful :)

the raspiness and emotion of her voice is sooooo stunning, wow

1980s: Girls having cheerful and enthusiastic fun 2020s: Girls having melancholy and depressed fun

That "I want to be the one to walk in the sun" just hit me in all my feelings 😢🥹

No one does a better job of communicating emotions through vocals. I'm addicted to your voice

I’ve listened to original version of this song but never paid good enough attention to the lyrics. This had me tearing up❤️❤️

You bring out such fragility in this song, and then overcome it with power. It's really moving.

Ok but why did this just make me actually cry

As a middle son of the family (and a 20yo boy myself) this song makes me understand my sisters feelings As a brother, I'll try to help them to have fun in their lives ^^ I really love my sisters

Great job, the vocal breaks are handled gracefully

I…I have never seen something so underrated

I personally like this cover of the song more than the original. Both are great though!

This brought tears to my eyes - I came from your short about the original lyrics. Lauper's lyrics hit different when compared to the original misogynistic version.

This girl just wanna listen to this cover.

give this girl a record deal

It’s so FUNNY that you posted this less than 30 minutes ago! I’ve had this version of the song stuck in my head all day after watching your real, and I searched to see if you had the full version out yet. You didn’t, until now when I searched! This is amazing!!! Please keep singing, it’s heavenly ❤

This was my favorite song growing up, I heard it for the first time when I was 5 on my barbie guitar that would play preset songs haha! This cover is STUNNING and left me with goosebumps, as I haven't heard it in years!

I love how your voice really portrays your emotions. It makes the song feel more captivating and like you can resonate with the feeling.

You bring such emotion to a national pimp anthem.
