Sobre el álbum
Un álbum titulado Wanna Have Fun, especialmente si se asocia con el nombre Blue Angel, hace referencia directa a la primera etapa de la carrera de Cyndi Lauper. Antes de convertirse en una superestrella del pop, ella era la vocalista de la banda Blue Angel, un grupo de rockabilly y new wave de principios de los 80. Este tipo de lanzamientos son compilaciones de ese material pre-fama.
El sonido de este disco es muy diferente al de su carrera en solitario. La música de Blue Angel era un enérgico homenaje al rock and roll de los años 50 y al sonido de los grupos de chicas, pero con una actitud y una energía de la era new wave. Es un sonido crudo, directo y muy divertido.
Estas grabaciones permiten escuchar a una Cyndi Lauper más joven y con una voz aún más salvaje y desatada, demostrando su increíble poderío como cantante de rock. Pese a que la banda no tuvo éxito comercial, su único álbum es hoy una pieza de culto.
El título 'Wanna Have Fun' es un claro guiño a su éxito posterior, utilizando su fama para que el público descubra sus orígenes. Es un documento fascinante que muestra las raíces de una artista que, incluso antes de ser famosa, ya era absolutamente única.

Letra
When u were mine I gave you all of my money Time after time U done me wrong 'Cause, just like a train U let all my friends come over and eat And you were so strange U didn't have the decency to change the sheets Oh, girl, when u were mine I use to let u wear all my clothes U were so fine Maybe thats the reason that it hurt me so I know, that you're goin with another guy But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie Love u more than I did when u were mine When u were mine U were kindasorta my best friend So I was blind I let u fool around I never cared I never was the kind to make a fuss When he was there Sleepin in between the two of us I know, that you're goin with another guy But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie Love u more than I did when u were mine When you were mine U were all I ever wanted to do Now I spend my time Following him whenever he's with you I know, that you're goin with another guy But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie Love u more than I did when u were mine - A Night To Remeber3:46

I'll tell you, it's just Nobody else's money Money changes everything I said money, money changes everything Ya think ya know what ya doin' We don't pull the strings It's all in the past now Money changes everything Money changes everything I said money, money changes everything We think we know what we're doing We don't know a thing It's all in the past now Money, money changes everything I said money, money changes everything We think we know what we're doing We don't know a thing It's all in the past now Money changes everything Money changes everything Money changes everything Money changes everything Money... changes everything Money changes everything Money changes everything - That's What I Think4:43
- Dancing With A Stranger4:14
Letra
Holding on to the rhythm I'm standing in my leather and lace People move to the left, and Move to the right, and The whole place starts to shake Without a net on a real high wire I'm stepping out with my heels on fire I started dancing with a stranger Moving to the break of day Dancing with a stranger And I just got swept away Letting go my inhibitions Is harder to do than say But I surrender to the beat I start shuffling my feet When I hear that music play I trip the light fantastic I touch the sky and it feels like magic I started dancing with a stranger Moving to the break of day Dancing with a stranger And I just got swept away Give me a dance, dance Dancing with a stranger And it takes my breath away I ain't looking for mister right It doesn't matter to me There's something in the air Electric I like Igniting endlessly I started to dance... Without a net on a real high wire I'm stepping out with my heels on fire I started dancing with a stranger Moving to the break of day Dancing with a stranger And I just got swept away... - Iko Iko2:13
Letra
My grand-ma and your grand-ma were sit-tin' by the fire. - My grand-ma told your grand-ma, "I'm gon-na set your flag on fire." - Chorus: Tal-kin' 'bout, Hey now! Hey now! I-KO, I-KO, un-day. Jock-a-mo fee-no ai na-ne. - Jock-a-mo fee na-ne. - Look at my king all dressed in red. - I-KO, I-KO, un-day. I bet-cha five doll-lars he'll kill you dead. - Jock-a-mo fee na-ne. - (Repeat Chorus) See that man all dressed in green? - I-KO, I-KO, un-day. He ain't a man; He's a lo-vin' ma-chine. - Jock-a-mo fee na-ne. - (Repeat Chorus) My flag boy and your flag boy were sit-tin' by the fire. - My flag boy told your flag boy, "I'm gon-na set your flag on fire." - (Repeat Chorus) - Someone Like Me4:07
Letra
Midnight falls on the snow-lit trees And as I stand inside I know that I Can't watch life through a window My indecision is blocking the door It's like a religion That I never ask for more I might stumble and fall What someone like me, Doing in a life like this? I can't see What someone like me Is doing in a life like this Slipping back into the past Sun comes up and streams Through the blinds And as I throw my clothes on Do my hair wrong, Stare into my mirror Telling myself that everyone falls Take the first step That's the trick of it all Bounce back like a ball What someone like me, Doing in a life like this? I can't see What someone like me Is doing in a life like this Slipping back into the past My mind is filled with Runaway dreams I can't wake up I don't know what it means You see I fell asleep With the television on When I woke up it was gone I read my horoscope To see what's in store I get a little lazy but I want more, I want more What someone like me Doing in a life like this ? I can't see What someone like me Is doing in a life like this...
