We must not forgot at one time Cyndi Lauper was the queen of the WWE and helped launch WrestleMania. On March 31, 1985, at the end of WWE's inaugural WrestleMania event, Lauper climbed into the wrestling ring at Madison Square Garden. Vince McMahon had a plan to expand his franchise to corners of the globe. Lauper's colorful persona fit right in with the rest of the crew - which also included Hulk Hogan. She even included Captain Lou Albano in her music video for the song, Girls Just Want To Have Fun.

Lauper won a Grammy that year for Best New Artist. After winning she said, "The Grammy means a lot to me because I never thought I would amount to anything. I always wanted to make art."
