Cyndi Lauper – “When You Were Mine”
I’m not one to hate on Cyndi Lauper, because let’s face it, “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” and “Time After Time” are THE jams. But before she was dropping those classics, she covered Prince’s “When You Were Mine,” from his Dirty Mind album (circa 1980). If you are into early ’80s pop like that, you might appreciate her take on the track, but compared to Prince’s version, they sound way too different. And not necessarily in a good way.
