\n\tCyndi Lauper<\/a> never considered another option. The flame-haired singer whose colorful sartorial flare and Betty Boop voice had music writers desperately searching for synonyms for \u201cquirky\u201d in the 1980s will tell her life\u2019s story in the upcoming biopic Let the Canary Sing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tFans Just Want to Have Fun: Cyndi Lauper Sells Majority Share of Rights to\u00a0Pophouse\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tThe feature-length film that debuted at last year\u2019s Tribeca Festival in New York was directed by Emmy-winning documentarian Alison Ellwood (Laurel Canyon<\/em>) and will debut on Paramount+ on June 4. \u201cOver the years I\u2019ve been asked to do a documentary about my life and work, but it never felt like the right time,\u201d Lauper, 70, said in a statement about the film. \u201cUntil now. When I first met Alison Ellwood, I knew right away I could trust her to tell my story honestly, which was incredibly important to me, and she succeeded in that. I\u2019d like to thank Alison, the producers, and all of the amazing documentary participants who agreed to be interviewed!\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe trailer for the doc dropped on Tuesday and it opens with a scene from the video for Lauper\u2019s 1983 ballad \u201cTime After Time,\u201d in which the singer is seen schlepping her giant duffel as she leaves a trailer park. \u201cEveryone always said, \u2018what will you do if you fail?\u2019 And all of a sudden we all heard it,\u201d Lauper says in voiceover over the irresistible strains of her 1983 breakthrough hit, \u201cGirls Just Wanna Have Fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 90-second trailer takes us all the way back to little Cyndi\u2019s Catholic school days, during which it became apparent, she says, \u201chow stubborn I could be.\u201d Singer\/actor Billy Porter weighs in on Lauper\u2019s embrace of queer culture in the sneak peek, noting that at that time, \u201cqueer people weren\u2019t allowed to be queer and out. It was our allies having the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trailer also features Culture Club singer Boy George praising Lauper for doing whatever she wanted to and legendary R&B singer Patti LaBelle calling \u201cTime After Time\u201d one of her \u201cfavorite songs ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLegacy Recordings will release a career-spanning companion album<\/a> that takes listeners from the singer\u2019s early days in the group Blue Angel (\u201cI\u2019m Gonna Be Strong\u201d) through the global breakout success of \u201cGirls Just Wanna Have Fun\u201d and other iconic hits such as \u201cTrue Colors,\u201d \u201cI Drove All Night,\u201d \u201cMoney Changes Everything,\u201d \u201cThe Goonies \u2018R\u2019 Good Enough,\u201d \u201cShe Bop,\u201d \u201cAll Through the Night\u201d and more. <\/p>\n
