Roy Orbinson is one of my favorite singers of all time and this version is a proper homage to him. Incredible interpretation by Cindy Lauper

@edgarrandolph7977

A great song can be song by many people. Celin Deon also recorded this song.

@mooz8510

Cyndi's version was released before Roy's. Cyndis in 89. Roy's in 92. Although Roy did record it in 87 as a demo, it never got released until 92 because he had no record contract at the time. Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg wrote the song trying to capture Roy's style. Which they done perfectly.

@annettemyers628

My favorite song by Cyndi❤

@MadeOfOw

I cant believe Im 50 years old, have seen this video hundreds of times over 34 years (its one of my favorites), and I think I just now understood the story in the video:

She never made it.
There was an accident (with the wrecked white car) and now shes haunting the lonely stretch of desert road in her Chevy coupe and lingering in his apartment near the Vegas strip. She always sees it as she imagined with him sleeping. Waiting for her.

Shes still driving. Dying to get to him. All night.
Forever.

@niviamaeva

😮 oh my!

@donnamcmahon251

i believe you've hit the nail on the head, the car, the fact she walks like a ghost (see-through) into his room etc. All makes sense now.

@fredbcj

@@donnamcmahon251 crock of shit

@Spaghettificat

OMG “But I was dying to get to you.” And she did literally. Also “I was dreaming while I drove” She fell asleep on the wheel while driving all night, dreaming about her lover. “This fever for you is just burning me up inside” I think this is the instant her car crashes, the climax of her fantasy, burning for her lover in her dream while burning in real life from the car crash.

@lindascoville5837

Am I the only one who prefers Cyndi’s version to this song over Celine’s version?

@sergioalvarado8779

Obvious

@McFred1065

Not at all... i think Cyndi knocked it out of the park, her voice as we never heard it, the edgy production and the video since it was 1989... it was very “Cyndi” - Celine’s well, it was supposed to serve a different purpose for Chrysler hence the spin of eurodisco. I was 14 in 89 - only now in my 40s I appreciate Cyndi’s artistry... never too late ;)

@MyDriver8

Cyndi's version gives me chills every time .

@martyp2138

Celine and Cyndi are grand although, I actually prefer Rob Orbison's version - he wrote it after all. However, Cyndi and Celine's vocals are just stellar and both deserve praise and do the song more than justice!
EDIT: Apologises, Roy Orbison didn’t write this song as I’ve been told. It was actually written by Tom Kelly and Billy Steinberg.

@JusticeForTheDead

Yeah, they don't realize it, because I had to make a friend listen to I'm Gonna Be Strong, and she said jokingly, it's that good? and it's the Girls Just Want To Have Fun singer??? I said YES! lol. I can't believe so many just think of her as that song, when there's this song, Time After Time, All Through The Night, True Colors and more which either hit #1 or came close and are very mature songs. Girls is great, but I'm upset so many forget great music. I'm thrilled though she has had a #1 selling Broadway album, #1 Blues album, and a #1 dance album all in the last 15 yrs!

@lisareynolds6319

I'm sorry. I know that I'm going to be in the minority on this, but I think this is by far the best version ever released. She killed it. As a previous poster said, "This was her most mature and underrated hit." I like it much better than Celine Deon's version. It's so beautifully done. The cello's just put it over the edge. Unbelievably romantic and passionate. I agree - "no one beats Cyndi's performance of this song."

@nrod2554

Cyndi's version takes me back to when I was a kid in the 80s the good old days. Celine's can't do that.

@LoanShoppingExpert

I would've loved to hear Elvis Presley sing this song, but Cyndi killed it.

@rikimarudonchelie1229

It's one of those songs which Ms. Lauper makes it unique and masterful, Celine may have range but this is more like Ms. Lauper style and domain of genres which makes it unique to hers only & no comes closed to it even Celine.

@tobysmith3459

Cyndi Lauper She grew up in an abusive environment and spent two weeks in the woods alone with her dog after leaving the abusive family. . I grew up in an abusive family and will be the first to say it totally destroys one and makes them open to strange and perverse directions. Kids growing up with strong families are so much more adjusted and don't have to deal with the emotional damage which I deal with on daily basis.

+Rich Jacob who deleted their comments! Yea, same old story. My sisters tell me the same thing, even to point that I was responsible for being too sensitive as twelve year old kid. I'm not a psychologist but all I know is I grew up with extremely low self-esteem. How do you fix that? I was told how worthless and stupid I was
from 11 to 18. I grew up with a volatile father who would slap me across the floor for dropping my fork at the table. Abuse does permanent damage to a kid. Those in the war knew what could happen, even though that probably didn’t make things easier, but a 12 year old kid is an open book and handled wrong???

Yep! Cindi sure sang this song way before Celine and Cindi's version is way way way much much much better than Celine's. Song was originally intended for Roy Orbison who recorded it in 1987 a year before his death but wasn't released until 1992. By the time his version was released Cindi who already was very popular and famous sang the song 3 years earlier. Celine only sang her version in 2003.

True classic...still rocks even in 2024.

@juliakay6204

I love how Cyndi rarely wears shoes in her 80s performances. She’s so natural and connected.

@alfieholloway

The technicality of her singing, the character and unique vocal style, her iconic looks, her energy, her personality, her songs, her humour, her emotion... I could go on... there isn’t one of these elements that can be bettered by another artist and she has ALL OF THEM

CYNDI LAUPER: THE REAL QUEEN OF POP

@alfieholloway

@Victor R. Karen was a wonderful artist particularly when it came to the more emotional songs; but to quote Cindy she’s indeed “like a rainbow” with the palette she has. Never got into journey. I know very little of the other two. I’ve personally not found anyone quite like her

@CliveO1515

A live performance of this came up in my feed, and decided to revisit the song. I listened to Celine and Roy’s versions, but nothing tops Cyndi’s interpretation. Roy may have written the song, but it’s Cyndi’s now. The only person I think could do something equal to Cyndi’s version is Orville Peck. He’s got an Orbison vibe and a great range. He’d eat this song up.

@bitchette

There's not so much quality, but the best thing that gives me so much joy about Cyndi, is that she's totally unashamed, being herself, how she wants, not trying to be sexy or to fit the canons ! So i always end up listening to Girls just wanna have fun, dancing and singing, not caring if i'm beautiful or sexy, just enjoying !
Thanks Cyndi <3

Great song and fantastic voice 👌

@robertpatterson2235

I love this version by Cyndi. Saw her perform it live at a release party for the CD. But, I do love the Celine and Roy Orbison versions too. Each interpretation of the song fits the artist and I enjoy listening to each of them. No favorites here unless you ask in the moment and it will be based on my mood: feeling like dancing and belting out lyrics- Celine, feeling like some good modern rock and some fantastic rocker vocals - Cyndi , but for the combo of soulful rock and a banging beat, it’s Roy all the way.

@MickeyKnox

yes

@jennifertowner8228

Agreed. I love all versions. Celine’s is a guilty pleasure but Cyndi’s is the one I remember most

@saschaf.1113

when I was 15/16 I haven't understood what a masterpiece this song is. But today... it is so perfect! The very special atmosphere of this song. The arrangement: cello, synthesizers and drums... so unique ... and of course Cindy's voice. It is one of the songs you'll never forget even not in hundert years...

@rickmcdonald1557

I'm completely blown away~!! I had no idea she could sing like this as I only remember seeing her on MTV singing Girls just wanna have fun. She is the Real Deal and right up there with Celine Dion singing this Roy Orbison hit. So glad to have discovered this video and of course I subscribed to see more of Cyndi.

@andrewbrendan1579

Cyndi Lauper not only gives a powerful, outstanding rendition of the song, she's also an actress here as well. I like Celine Dion but her version of "I Drove All Night", good as it is, didn't quite do it for me; it doesn't seem to have the heart and passion of the Cyndi Lauper version.. Many years ago on the radio I heard just a bit of Cyndi Lauper's singing "I Drove All Night" and have never forgotten it. That says something about Cyndi Lauper's talent: decades after hearing a few moments of her singing I went looking for the song in its entirety.

@calam8286

Andrew Brendan Spooky but same story for me. I heard it way back in school when it was in the UK charts and vaguely recall this video. I just remember fancying the pants off Cyndi at the time, but back then as a 14 year old I had a permanent hard on. Just found and watched this epic and I’m absolutely in love with Cyndi. She is magnificent, beautiful, talented and so so quirky and cool.

@sarahkinsey5434

What do you think of the original version Roy Orbison sang?

@the_katman2181
