It was directed by Emmy-nominated documentarian Alison Ellwood. And the good thing is that it was in the key of a trumpet, and we were actually trumpeting an idea that everyone, including girls could have fun. And I knew that in different keys, my voice sounded completely different, because I was the arranger with John Turi on the last band I was in, Blue Angel.

How could you ignore that? Play it reggae. Lauper has been an LGBT rights supporter throughout her career, campaigning for equality through various charities and gay pride events around the world. That had to be in the music.

And thinking we were doing something reggae, we actually made the mistake; or the wisdom, not mistake.

That big gated snare drum, the sound of the street, the new bebop stuff that was happening, the kids that were dancing on the cardboard slack, that sound, that drum, that aided snare, that big trashy drum. Because if girls were having too much fun, we were labeled whores, so this was a new idea and a new take.

How can you ignore that? I knew how to arrange it to make it different.

By Mesfin Fekadu. "My sister was gay, my best friends were gay, so I figured I had to be gay," she said. I made them go key after key after key. And it became an international hit — one that is still recognizable 40 years after its release. And I got my mother to be in the video, and I got every one of my friends who looked like New York to be in a video with music that was coming out in New York, so it matched.

Lauper says proudly of her long-standing relationship with the queer community — which is a big reason she cofounded True Colors United in with Lisa Barbaris, Jonny Podell, and Gregory Lewis. And that would be a problem. So I knew how to do it.

It was a good thing. Rehearse like a band, tear the stuff apart, put it back together, use the wonderful modern sounds that were coming out of Sheffield, that were coming out of England, that were coming out of Canada.
