Girls Just Want To Have Fun

[Roosh]

A lot of men like to believe that the promiscuous or degenerate impulses of women today had to be programmed into them, but most of those impulses were there all along. All women needed was a more permissible environment. One song that hinted at this truth was Cyndi Lauper’s nearly forty-year-old single “Girls Just Want To Have Fun.”

On a casual listen, the song seems to portray a girl’s innocent need to party, but decoding the lyrics reveal that “have fun” really means “fuck.” The song then makes perfect sense and accuately portrays the female behavior we see today.

I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we’re not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun

Cyndi went out, partied, and had sex with a man. After coming home, she received token resistance from her mother, but not enough to change her behavior, perhaps because mother also wanted to live out her own youth in the same manner.

The phone rings in the middle of the night
My father yells what you gonna do with your life
Oh daddy dear you know you’re still number one
But girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have

The father is portrayed as a disgusting, idiot slob who is out of touch when compared to his empowered daughter. It’s a surprise that he even lived in the house. Today, 23% of children are raised by single parents. Removing the father figure is especially dangerous to a female because she then attempts to simulate his love through shallow sexual encounters or attention whoring. Even with a father in the home, there is no sign that Cyndi was punished for her late-night party lifestyle.

Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have


Cyndi wants to display her beauty to everyone, even if she already has the love of one man. It’s important for her to always be in the position of upgrading her current man if she happens to find something better. She wants to have the option of fucking other guys on the side, because relationships are too boring for a young girl who has her entire life ahead of her.

That’s all they really want
Some fun
When the working day is done
Oh girls, they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun 


Before feminism really dug its heels into the culture, Cyndi already assumed a “working day” for women. Even she knew that work would be so dull that it would have to be counter-balanced with fun and casual sex. Girls spend the day working to be independent from men to spend their nights getting used by attractive men at night.

The song was originally released in 1979, but does it not perfectly describe the mentality of an average woman in 2018? Today’s woman spends her prime having fun and only considers settling down when her career is “established” or her options for attractive men begin to dwindle. It then becomes a game of musical chairs to lock down any reasonable man, but even in that case, she will still be open to having fun on the side if a new man excites her vagina.

I used to believe that men and women had to be somewhat brainwashed to participate in degenerate behaviors, but I no longer think that is the case. The problem with the modern era is not that it programs people to be bad, but it allows and encourages people to be bad by simply acting on their human impulses. The wives you think were so traditional fifty or one-hundred years ago would be just as promiscuous today if they had the choice, and that includes your beloved grandmothers. Societies of the past did a reasonable job of constraining the flaws of our species, but those constraints are now gone, and what you see today is actually more “human” than ever.

Most folk only exist at a base-instinct level.

It takes more to establish & encourage civilization to grow.

Yep. Biggest pullers I know are Peter Pan Syndrome 35 year olds that have money but play like a 16 year old.

Good post. There's some deeper history here. The original focus of this song was different than the hit version by Cyndi Lauper. But when Lauper cut it, it became one of the most influential pop records ever, for reasons that went beyond the song.

***

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" was first written and recorded in 1979 by a man, Robert Hazard (see video below). It was originally an L.A. punk-styled tune. The lyrical thrust was that he was telling his mom and dad that he coming home late because he was so besieged by party girls ("THESE girls just wanna have fun"). These were the "working girls" -- the ones who kept you out late going wild.

When Cyndi Lauper covered it for her 1983 album She's So Unusual, she altered the lyric and made it into a pop song with a first-person narrative. But the irony here is that it was a man's song.

By covering a song like this, Lauper was following in the footsteps of such artists as Linda Ronstadt, who'd had success singing punk and new wave songs written by male artists like Elvis Costello and Mark Goldenberg of L.A.'s great-but-forgotten Cretones ("Mad Love").

When "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" became a hit, it changed the landscape of pop within a year because it made Madonna possible.

It came out on LP in late '83, but the single hit the charts in early 1984. In this period, Madonna was an upstart cult artist who'd only had a few dance chart hits. But Lauper opened the door for Madonna with her quirky fashion sense and high-pitched "Minnie Mouse vocals" (which is what people called them back then).

It's hard to imagine this now, but at the time, no one knew who Madonna was. When people first heard her in the wake of Lauper, Madonna was derided as a Lauper knock-off. Still, no publicity is bad, and after "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," the rock-oriented MTV (which was NOT dance music-friendly in the early '80s) programmed two Madonna videos which caught on in summer 1984.

These videos, to "Lucky Star" and "Borderline," were for songs released a full year earlier on Madonna's self-titled first album. When they unexpectedly became hits, the release date on Madonna's second album had to be pushed back because the first one (which had been largely ignored at the time) suddenly got a new life and climbed the charts again.

But Madonna had already taken note of Lauper for that second album, Like A Virgin, which was recorded as "Girls Just Wanna" was peaking on the pop charts. For this album and this album only, she actually sped up her vocals to sound more girlish (i.e. Lauperish) on songs like "Like A Virgin" and "Material Girl."

In other words, Madonna did what the Beatles did in songs like "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds." She had the producer slow the tape down, sang to it at that speed, and then played it back at the normal, faster speed.

There used to be YouTube videos with the song slowed down so you could hear Madonna's vocals at their actual pitch. But they were removed. So I made a small snippet of one song with its original vocal pitch, which you can hear at this link.

What you hear is "Material Girl," which Madonna sang in the key of B Flat. When it was released, it was sped up a full key, to C (which you can hear in the video here). In its original key, Madonna sounds throatier, like she did on later hits like "Express Yourself." And she sounds nothing like Lauper. I don't know if the sped-up vocals were the idea of her or her producer, Nile Rogers, but they worked. Her popularity exploded with that second album.

So, in the end "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" ended up being one of the most influential records of all time, ushering in a new era of music. For the first time since about 1954, pop music stopped being focused on guys with guitars.

Which is funny because the man who kicked this all off, Robert Hazard, was a guy with a guitar. He ended up dying young. I hope he kept his publishing rights.

Linda Ronstadt sang punk?

Linda Ronstadt sang punk?

Check out her Mad Love album from 1980. The entire LP was new wave/punk-oriented except for an old Little Anthony and the Imperials cover ("Hurt So Bad"). I wouldn't call it punk per se, but the influence was definitely there.

Here's a neat bit of trivial. One of the album's biggest hits was "How Do I Make You," which was written by Bill Steinberg, who was then heading up a really odd punk/new wave band called Billy Thermal. When Steinberg left that group he paired up with songwriter Tom Kelly to pen hits for others, one of which was Madonna's "Like A Virgin." So that connects back with my Lauper post.

Anyway, this went Top Ten for Ronstadt and was a big departure from her previous work.

I love stumbling across these DoBA posts of forgotten old lore in random threads. It's like walking down the street and picking up a $20 bill off the ground.

For some contrast, here's the SJW framing of the song.

And let me just add that K-Earth 101 plays that song about 78 times a day, typically interspliced with Aha's "Take on Me". I'm pretty sure there're a few other tunes out there worth playing.

Nuclear war, Economic collapse or worldwide sharia law are the only things that can stop all the FUN women are having.

[Simeon_Strangelight]

Human nature does not change - it is up for sane patriarchal men to create one and uphold it.

And honestly - women need little encouragement to stay in line since they have instinct embedded in them which shy away from slutty behavior, women also engage in slut shaming etc.

However - instincts are instincts and letting it all run free ends up in constant orgies with no families - that has been attempted again and again in human history - Rome, French aristocracy, French revolution, 1890s Paris - now it's another one of those times. Such songs back then were highly promoted by the globalists, thus no surprise.

But the good side is - it takes only organized shitlords to recreate a saner society. There is no need to go full sharia on it. A firm hand, a return of patriarchy and encouraging women to marry young is sufficient. And women will be happier for it.

I've come to the same conclusion. I think it will be a global pandemic of ebola or something like that. Ebola is chomping at the bit to hit critical mass and Africa is just fucking around. They should have wiped the bat carriers from the earth but no one gives a shit. It is the iceberg and civilization is Titanic.
