Cyndi has always remained in the public eye to a certain extent thanks to 80s nostalgia, but she's also branched out into acting. Her first silver screen starring role, 1988's ''Vibes'', was a critical and commercial flop, but she's had a fair amount of success in this field since, with a recurring role on ''Series/MadAboutYou'', cameos on ''Series/QueerAsFolkUS'', ''Series/GossipGirl'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''. She wrote the music to the musical ''Theatre/KinkyBoots'', which earned her a Tony Award for Best Score, the first woman to earn this award.

I'm trying to phrase this in a way that makes sense, but it's 4 AM.

Added DiffLines:

* TheCoverChangesTheGender: Music/{{Prince}}'s "When You Were Mine" originally had a couple of lyrics which mention "Girl" as the addressee/subject. Combined with Prince as a male singer, the lyric: "I know that you're going with another guy." implies that the addresser/singer is meant to be male. Cyndi Lauper's cover strips references to the subject's gender out completely, which makes ''both'' singer and subject ambiguously gendered when combined with the lyric. It could be a male singing to a female, a male singing to a male, a female singing to a male, a female singing to a bisexual female who used to date men before and after her ("another ''guy''" being in the dismissive sense), etc.
