Details Lead Performances: Karan Ashley, Johnny Yong Bosch, Steve Cardenas, Jason David Frank and Amy Jo Johnson...

In 1984, Cyndi Lauper hit it big by hiccuping about female bonding and masturbation and cracking her gum over keyboard boings. But she soon retreated into indistinct flute-and-synth schlock. There are five spirited songs her on Twelve Deadly Cyns...and then some from She's So Unusual, but the rest sounds like a girl who's neither unusual nor having fun. B+
