Cyndi Lauper "she's so unusual"

Growing up one of my chores was washing dishes after dinner with my sister. After settling the endless debate of who would wash versus who would dry we would set to work. Next to the kitchen sink in our cramped little suburban house was a big grey boombox. It was typically tuned to the top-40 radio station and the variety of pop songs would radiate from the kitchen throughout our small home all day. I dont remember there being any moments without music in the house when we were young. Occasionally my sister or I would pop a cassette from our personal collections into the radio during this chore. This album was one we blasted often. On the nights we weren't trying to argue each other to death we would both sing along and it made the task almost enjoyable and brief. This is from a golden age of pop records when artists just seem to tap some magical muse and released albums jam packed with singles. There isn't a clunker on this whole album. I listened to it on headphones today while half-napping on the couch while my kids played and watched unwatchable television. I could smell dish soap and damp drying towels. I could see my sister's massive flipped wing hair. It turned out to be a definite time capsule.
