Show Notes
Frizz and Bob crank up the neon and dive into one of the most fearless and fabulously weird pop debuts of all time: She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper. Frizz brings out her wild side with Wild Turkey 101 while Bob brings the spice with Ole George Rye. We explore how a thrift-store fashion queen with a four-octave voice and endless heart rewrote the rules for women in pop. From feminist anthems to filthy controversies, Cyndi turned cover songs into queer-coded ballads, danced through our TV screens, and even changed pro wrestling forever. It's one of the most iconic albums of the '80s - so come she-bop, belt, and dance with us as we raise a glass to the defiant and totally unforgettable Ms. Lauper.
