“Hey Now (Girls Just Want to Have Fun) remix turns 25 today! Link in story above. In 1994 I put out the greatest-hits collection “Twelve Deadly Cyns . . . and Then Some.” I reworked “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” to give it a reggae feel and it became “Hey Now (Girls Just Want to Have Fun).” For a couple of weeks I did a European tour with twelve drag-queen dancers. It was me and twelve drag queens in a bus, which was kind of awesome. During the tour, I talked to the guys about the discrimination that they faced. I performed the song at The Gay Games with 50 drag queens. There I was singing the “Girls” remix with them, and their shoes and headdresses were extraordinary. When I didn’t see them on the JumboTron, it was really upsetting to me. I was like, “Are you kidding me? You mean the gay community is going to discriminate against drag performers? What the heck? Why wouldn’t you put those amazing shoes on the JumboTron?” After that I thought, “You won’t show them? I’ll show them. I’ll not only show them but I’ll make them all famous.” And I made the video for “Hey Now” with all of those fabulous drag queens by the twelve-story Unisphere from the 1964–65 World’s Fair, which is in Queens—of course. Incidentally, after talking to them about the discrimination they face, I wrote a song about it. It’s called “Ballad of Cleo & Joe.”

Tried to share this with the rest of my world and it blocks me~> can someone tell me how we are copyright © infringement for sharing? No one gets paid to post! No one gains money to post music we all love! And yet somehow Sony and Warner is petty enough to put laws into sharing their songs?!?! Irony is we used to share our music with one another via phone and records, now we try to use the social media realm and most times it gets blocked and removed!!! Such greedy stupidity really... I mean come on now you #corporatesongblockers don’t be so ridiculous ??? cuz GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN DAMNIT!!!! (Grrrrr to those #songblockers ) oh @cyndilauper I tried lady... tired to share the love... wouldn’t it be awesome if we women all had shared your clip? The entire Instagram would have become a #girlsjustwannahavefun resounding speaker ? sadly that will never happen as long as songs are being Blocked so friggin hard core like this... seriously ? it is total madness that makes no sense! If we are sharing that means we are caring, remembering and reminiscing =with your song... isn’t that the point of music ? To take it into ourselves and when it attaches to beautiful memories it makes them always vivid and wonderful to hear again... so I tried Cyndi, tried to share my luvluvluv for you and to be a #truecolours kind of woman you inspired ~> was gonna try to create a song share conga-line if you will, alas my plans fell short. #ifitsthethoughtthatcounts #shucks #bahumbug #lesigh

Thank you for sticking up for what you believe in. Discrimination is discrimination even if it’s within our own community. Thank you for being a trailblazer
