I heard this when it came out as a teenager, I heard it again about ten years later remembering how catchy it was and suddenly realized it was about about self gratification and started laughing. I thought I was so wise in high school. 😂
My understanding has always been that this is specifically about female masturbation, but when you listen to the chorus, it seems to be more inclusive. The idea may be that Cyndi wants to make sure that people know that women do it too....and it's OK.
She says it wasn't really a punk thing. She was looking at fashion mags and noticed the "wind blown" look where their hair is blowing to one side. So she just thought why not cut it that way. Yes, she really is unusual.
The colors so popular now were developed in the 80s. Mohawks and mullets, with big shoulder pads and power suits. The 80s were wild, so was I LoL! Much of todays hair and makeup remind me of then. Frick I'm OLD!
Huge Cyndi Lauper fan here from the 80s. The whole album was 🔥 Have a listen to Money Changes Everything, All Through the Night, Time After Time, True Colours, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun & When You were mine (Prince wrote this one)
She was for sure my first girl crush. I loved everything about her. One of my first concerts. My mom took me. I was like 10. And I loved her so much. Music and concerts were thing from very young. My first concerts were to watch my grandfather play his bass fiddle with groups in town. Then get together after for jam sessions at his beach pad. I only have a few memories of them cuz I was super young and he passed when I was 7. But the few I have are treasures only a few pictures but they are precious to me.
Strangely, this was not the only song about masturbation to come out of the 80s. Billy Idol had Dancing With Myself and The Vapors (I think) had Turning Japanese. As far as the shaved head thing, that was already a punk thing before she did it in the mid-80s.
The waitress in the beginning was Wendi Richter, WWE womens champion, the huge guy with the curlers was Captain Lou Albano, another wrestler, as well as Fabulous Moohlah playing her mom
FUCKING LOVE IT!! &&&&&&&& Hope you Don't mind BIG Overshare !! ... Great Vid to post on by her 70th B-Day !! I'm 64 & Was a LUCKY Girl who got to meet her....I met lots of Famous ( most between 78 to 84 by making stage clothes & friends in bands) Got to meet her when friend Rob Hyman ( band from Philly Pa. called The Hooters, met him Summer 81 Wildwood N.J., got intro by friends in a House band called Pegasus playing club called The Rainbow that Summer ...RIP to their keyboardist & one of my roommates that summer John Cooper, committed suicide Years Ago)....SORRY, back to point, Met her while she & Rob were recording song Time after Time together in studio in Manayunk Pa.( pretty much in Philly, LOL) sat in studio a bit with other friends, left mid way through to get dinner....BUT got to hang out Later at another friend's house & drank Tequila shots with her &&& She was just as FUN as you think she is !!! THANKS for BLAST from Past & Hope you don't mind an Old Lady's Overshare !! ROCK ON !!!❤❤❤
@theboyisnotright6312 Yeah, was Lots of fun!! && I have to thank Tina Weymouth of Talking Heads for my "Big" start. Met her in 1978 when on concert committee at Penn State when they came to play, got to talk with her backstage. She said she liked dress I was wearing ( had HUGE shoulder pads && Zippers all over it) I told her I made it & made side $$ by making costumes for theater majors and local bands. She said she thought bands she knew in NYC might like my stuff and gave me phone number of a guy who could hook me up with them. The guy was Hilly Krystal, owner of CBGBs and things went Nuts after!!!! I was a LUCKY girl, right place, right time fluke gave me Crazy R&R life 😜 LOL 😆 🤣
Cyndi said she didn't know it was a gay magazine at the time, she was just looking for a mag with naked men in it other than Playgirl and she found that one.
Cyndi is a great chick, a smart girl. She's too smart for most people. Some of her songs really annoy me and grate on me - "Time after Time" grinds on me. "Girls just wanna have fun" irritates me due to the over exposure on radio. Yet, she does some great Rockin' songs like " Money changes everything" and " She Bop" plus a few more....... I saw her in concert in 1984, I think she was lowered down to the stage in a cage. She was very energetic and wild. Great concert, great performer, she's a true artist.
We didn't need gym memberships back then. The clubs gave all the workouts you could stand, lol. Such fun music back then. Glad I was a part of that particular era.
In 2019 I had tickets to see her with Rod Stewart, but he had problems with his throat, and they had to cancel. She never returned. Bummer. I was going to see her. Rod was gravy. LOVE Cyndi💕😍 "Money Changes Everything"🎸😎
Sorry, my phone rejected the real word - a top 40 masturba@@@n song. Cyndi explained the song later. However, at that time, I Touch Myself by the Divinyls was banned from some radio and MTV because it was obviously about the subject. If you haven't seen it, it is a great video.
Johnny Carson said she was in the top 3 favorite guest on the Tonight Show he’s ever had. She’s been on The Tonight show several times during Johnny Carson’s tenure at his request. Btw the other top 3 being Robin Williams & Jonathan Winters.
She is saying “in the pages of a “Blue Boy Magazine”, which was a gay porn magazine that was popular in the 1980s. It is about pleasing one’s self sexually. 😂
The head shaving thing is from the early 70's. Every single thing that ya'll think is NEW fashion usually got it's start then. Shit was a LOT more crazy than folks today are. For the past 30+ years or so it has all just been copycat stuff. ZERO ORIGINALITY. Comes from laziness.
Don't watch reactions...they have to pause in TH-cam due to copyright, also that's the point of reacting to speak your thoughts. You simply watch the actual cip afterwards if you like it.

I heard this when it came out as a teenager, I heard it again about ten years later remembering how catchy it was and suddenly realized it was about about self gratification and started laughing. I thought I was so wise in high school. 😂
Same. At the time, it was just a fun catchy song--only as an adult did I realize how nasty it actually was.
OMG! I don't feel so bad now! I didn't figure out why it made the Filthy 15 until 5 years ago!!
Yup 😀
Shocking how much pop music is about self gratification. Lol.
Well... I'm almost 49, and I have yet to listen to it in this context... so this will be fun. Lol.
If you pay attention to the video it says masterbingo! That's what the song is about!
There are so many amazing nuggets like that in the video. It’s amazing.
Let's face it, we all bop
💯 lol
I remember watching this on MTV back when it first hit the airwaves..Cindy is a legend and YES she is still "UNUSUAL".💋👠🌹❤️🔥👍😁👑
I love Cyndi. She's Betty Boop personified in this song. I love her voice.
As a teenage boy , Cyndi was this weird combination of cute , sexy, and talented. I'm old now but I think I feel the same .
Love Cyndi Lauper, can you believe she turned Seventy this week?
And she don't look it!
That's crazy. She's hot
Music from my teenage years, she’s always been so cool, try true colors and Girls just wanna have fun
My understanding has always been that this is specifically about female masturbation, but when you listen to the chorus, it seems to be more inclusive.
The idea may be that Cyndi wants to make sure that people know that women do it too....and it's OK.
That is what it is about… yes. Hearing her in interviews talk about this is pretty hysterical
Punk girls n boys were shaving their hair since 76/77, and youth ever since
Yeah but I think Cyndi was the first to shave the checkerboard pattern in her hair.
She says it wasn't really a punk thing. She was looking at fashion mags and noticed the "wind blown" look where their hair is blowing to one side. So she just thought why not cut it that way. Yes, she really is unusual.
I love that he has no idea what’s happening.
Happy 70th Birthday Cyndi Lauper. ♋💜 "True Color" 💙💜💗💛🧡❤🤎🖤

Huge Cyndi Lauper fan here from the 80s.
The whole album was 🔥
Have a listen to Money Changes Everything, All Through the Night, Time After Time, True Colours, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun & When You were mine (Prince wrote this one)
This song was part of the "Filthy 15" that the PMRC found the most objectionable. 😂
I never knew WHY, until 5 years ago , idk, guess I was thinking 50s "bop"
The other 14 were WASP songs probably :) .
I had no idea what she was talking about until someone pointed it out to me 😂😂😂
The 80's was a very special time and this video is very 80s. lol
She was for sure my first girl crush. I loved everything about her. One of my first concerts. My mom took me. I was like 10. And I loved her so much. Music and concerts were thing from very young.

I swear Travis is blushing 🙈 😂
Her choosing the self service gas station is the greatest thing ever lol.
The face palm pineapple question 😂😂 🍍⁉️⁉️
I love how y'all just skated right over the subject matter of the lyrics 😉😆
This is one of the reasons they have parental advisory stickers on cds and album because it’s about self gratification
Steamed car windows in West Virginia is called "relative humidity"
😂😂😂😂😂
Go self LOVE !!!! LOL
I ADORE THIS VIDEO SOFUNNY ❤❤❤ please more eighties 😊
Crazy awesome song!
I love your reactions like so many others. My god, you are beautiful, as well. And you guys make music so much fun! Thanks!
I beleive that the term she bop was the female version of loving yourself......
Strangely, this was not the only song about masturbation to come out of the 80s. Billy Idol had Dancing With Myself and The Vapors (I think) had Turning Japanese. As far as the shaved head thing, that was already a punk thing before she did it in the mid-80s.
Don’t forget about my favorite. “Rosie” by Jackson Browne.
Whip It by Devo as well.
I'm sure Prince has to be in there somewhere.
Sorry I didn’t request this one myself. I wasn’t sure if you guys would be okay with a song about “raking the carpet.”
😂🤣😛🤪😂🤣
It wasn't THEY in the car. As the gas station read it's about slef service.
I'm a 70 80 kid love this
She’s so Unusual 👉🥰👈. Love her music so much !
Madonna had the fame at the time, but I always preferred Cindy's colourful personality.
It seems like you didnt get the point of the song. Hint: There is a big sign in the video with the words: "Self service" on it :-)
The waitress in the beginning was Wendi Richter, WWE womens champion, the huge guy with the curlers was Captain Lou Albano, another wrestler, as well as Fabulous Moohlah playing her mom
Cyndi is friends with a lot of wrestlers it seems
my fave Cyndi Lauper song! ♥

Sounds like you've had some adventures 🙂. Sounds fun

So wish you had done a live version, Cyndi so good live.
She didn't drop anything in the car. She, She Bopped in the car.
gracias por reaccionar ami epoca juvenil
"from the pages of a Blue Boy magazine..." which was a porno mag of men for gay men. And for women.
Cyndi said she didn't know it was a gay magazine at the time, she was just looking for a mag with naked men in it other than Playgirl and she found that one.
She have few rocks songs, and one that needs a reaction is "Love to Hate", from her 5th album.
Love the Blondie shirt
Cyndi is a great chick, a smart girl.
She's too smart for most people.
Some of her songs really annoy me and grate on me - "Time after Time" grinds on me.
"Girls just wanna have fun" irritates me due to the over exposure on radio.
Yet, she does some great Rockin' songs like " Money changes everything" and " She Bop" plus a few more.......
I saw her in concert in 1984, I think she was lowered down to the stage in a cage.
She was very energetic and wild.
Great concert, great performer, she's a true artist.
Listen to “she bop” and “girls just wanna have fun”.
WTF did I just watch? I've heard the song growing up but never saw the video
We didn't need gym memberships back then. The clubs gave all the workouts you could stand, lol. Such fun music back then. Glad I was a part of that particular era.
In 2019 I had tickets to see her with Rod Stewart, but he had problems with his throat, and they had to cancel. She never returned. Bummer.
I was going to see her. Rod was gravy.
LOVE Cyndi💕😍
"Money Changes Everything"🎸😎

Hey females do it too. And I'm okay with that. Great mid 80s song.
Johnny Carson said she was in the top 3 favorite guest on the Tonight Show he’s ever had. She’s been on The Tonight show several times during Johnny Carson’s tenure at his request. Btw the other top 3 being Robin Williams & Jonathan Winters.
tambien amo a cyndi 😍
Yes that is her hair style
I didn't think you could get in between a woman's console and her seat. 😂
A good ol' fashion song about masturbation. Good times.
Captain Lou rules
Was one of the "Filthy Fifteen" songs of the 80´s .
You definitely visited Willie's tour bus
We ❤ Cyndi!!!
As a child I didn't know that "She Bop" was about masturbation!🤣🤣Good rocky Song 🤣
GWAR covered this song!!
Hey....she didn't have food yet! And no fries on that tray (outside car!)...
Ohhh, yeah, got it uhuhuh.😊
Guy,you absolutely have to do a electric callboy with their new title "everytime we touch".It's making a big buzz you have to be in it..
She is saying “in the pages of a “Blue Boy Magazine”, which was a gay porn magazine that was popular in the 1980s. It is about pleasing one’s self sexually. 😂
I love you guys! You're so real! Cyndi was way ahead of her time touching on the subject of female masturbation great choice great reaction 🎉🎶
she could've been influenced by Wendy O. Williams of The Plazmatiks, or Sue Catwoman, or Siouxie with the partially shaved head.
Cindy and Patrick Hernandes???
Self service
The head shaving thing is from the early 70's. Every single thing that ya'll think is NEW fashion usually got it's start then. Shit was a LOT more crazy than folks today are. For the past 30+ years or so it has all just been copycat stuff. ZERO ORIGINALITY. Comes from laziness.
They think every damn thing started with their generation. Fashion is cyclical.
Yeah but Cyndi was the first to shave a checkerboard pattern in her hair (that was her idea, she told her hair guy Patrick Lucas to do that to her).
If you seen little Nicky by Adam Sandler you know where that pineapple is going. 🤣
Or listen to the song 'Stobe Light' by the B-52s. He starts kissing her lips and works his way down her body until he kisses her 'pineapple'.
Maria by Blondie , plz
This song is about a Jeff Bezos Rocket going into the unknown and women being amazed by the technology
This song and video is all about m*st*rb*t**n! :D A very fun song
Over 3 mins of jibber jabber to fast forward. Get on with it! Skip to 5.58
Too many interruptions during the song, sorry.
It is true?? this is the way you analize this song? I thought you were expert :-( .... so sad ..
this really didn't age well lol
I hate pausers
Don't watch reactions...they have to pause in TH-cam due to copyright, also that's the point of reacting to speak your thoughts. You simply watch the actual cip afterwards if you like it.
Everything old is new again…the Punks in the 70s were doing it…it’s where she got it from.
The punks went a little farther than this (e.g., "Orgasm Addict" by the Buzzcocks.)
This song was really about masterbation lol.
Guaposssss,,,un saludo desde Barcelona me encanta tus vídeos y reacciones 👍👍🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Songs about masturbation are fun 😊
Some stuff is better left buried never to see the light of day again 😂😂
