The further you dig into Cyndi Lauper's work, the more often you'll find the NYC native getting playful. “A Christmas Duel” sees her in a spirited lyrical joust with Swedish indie pied pipers The Hives, while on “Iko Iko”, she spices up the Sugar Boy and his Cane Cutters cover with percussive yelps. On “What a Thrill”, from the Goonies soundtrack, Lauper revels in a punk-fuelled frenzy.
