Boy Blue Cyndi Lauper
Worked this out from Cyndi's amazing live performance on the "Cyndi In Paris",
which I believe if you want you need to get imported.
(Worry not - it's up on YouTube in HD though!)
This song is one of her best but under-appreciated by execs at the time. As a
result, not many folks know it - but verily does it rock.
