Time after time Chromatics share new Cyndi Lauper cover ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Some’

They’re such big fans, they’ve covered it four times for a new ‘maxi-single’.
It looks like Chromatics are really big Cyndi Lauper fans. After airing a preview of a ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ cover in a MANGO advert earlier this year, the Portland band have now decided to release an almighty seven-part ‘maxi-single’. It’ll have four different covers of the song within, as well as three instrumental versions.
The song - originally by Robert Hazard - was made huge by Cyndi Lauper in the 80s. Besides paying homage to everyone’s favourite dancefloor legend, Chromatics recently shared ‘Shadow,’ a single from their forthcoming album ‘Dear Tommy’. It’s not clear exactly when that will be coming out, but things are clearly in motion.
There’s also a video for ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Some’ - one of the new cover versions Chromatics have shared. Directed by the band’s own Johnny Jewel, the video sees bandmate Ruth Radelet going for a nice pier-side stroll. They’ve also shared a dub take, entitled… ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Dub’.
Listen to both below, and check out the tracklist for their new mega-single.
