1	* CoveredUp: "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" was originally written and recorded (though not released) by {{New Wave\|Music}} musician Robert Hazard. Given the song by producers and feeling the song was a bit misogynist, Cyndi [[TheCoverChangesTheMeaning personally refashioned it into a feminist anthem.]]
2	** "Money Changes Everything" was originally by The Brains.
3	** "All Through the Night" was originally by Jules Shear.
4	** "When You Were Mine" was originally by Music/{{Prince}}.
5	** Arguably, she's also a victim of this; nowadays, younger people are probably more familiar with Quietdrive's cover of "Time After Time" than the original.
6	* EpicRiff: That damn riff from "She Bop". Also, "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", particularly the chorus.
7	* FirstInstallmentWins: ''She's So Unusual,'' and how.
8	* LGBTFanbase: Thanks to her tireless work for LGBT rights, her colorful image, and songs like "True Colors", she's a huge gay icon and regularly shows up at LGBT events as support. "True Colors" became an unofficial LGBT anthem.
9	* {{Narm}}: The rather... out of the blue and ridiculous end of the ''I Drove All Night'' video.
10	** Additionally, her singing face can be quite ridiculous at times.
11	* NightmareFuel: [[TheUnSmile The smiling Burger Klone customers]] marching from the "She Bop" music video.
12	* PeripheryDemographic: Her work in bringing ProfessionalWrestling into the mainstream thanks to her regular crossovers with the [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} WWF]] in the mid-80s has earned her a pretty significant wrestling fanbase, including many who otherwise don't care for her music. There is a large, loud and completely sincere section of wrestling fans who believe that she deserves to be inducted into the Wrestling/WWEHallOfFame.
13	* SignatureSong: "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun", although one could also make a case for "Time After Time".
14	* TearJerker: "Time After Time" was moving enough, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPE1lr1pcUc her acoustic version in '05 with Sarah McLachlan]] is even ''more'' so.
15	** "All Through The Night", too.
