Cyndi Lauper - I Drove All Night (Video) 

Am I the only one who prefers Cyndi’s version to this song over Celine’s version?

Who listening in Year the 2024?

One of the most Intensely Passionate songs I've ever heard... It NEVER gets old. :)

The 80s' ability to express raw emotion effortlessly through music is unparalleled.

I was told my Mom was sent home for hospice and had a few weeks at best. I was 1200 miles away but decided to drive as I was not leaving until she had passed. I was heading north on I-75 in lower Michigan at 3 AM, cruise control set at 85. Just me, the full moon hanging off my left shoulder keeping me company on that dark empty highway. The stereo was blaring to keep my mind alert as it had already been 14 hours in a 22 hour trip. Then I hear this song come on the radio as I too was driving all night to see my Mom. It was in the next day while I was still driving and just 10 minutes away when my Dad called and said Mom just passed. I never got to say good bye. I will always have this song to remind me of my Mom. I miss you Mom. Thank you Cyndi.

This song makes me want to drive back to the 80’s .. incredibly gifted and a fan still till this day !!!

They just don't make music like this anymore.

I love you Celine, but Cyndi's version tears me up.

I prefer Cindy's version! Her vocals are amazing and unmatched!

She doesn't get enough praise for her incredible vocal talent.

I absolutely love this song! Brings me right back to the 80’s, the best decade ever!!!!!

Madonna overshadowed cyndi, but cyndi is a way better singer than madonna could ever hope to be. Cyndi has one of the most expressive, versatile vocal ranges out there.

One of the sexiest songs, in the history of music! One of the best voices in the world...

Roy Orbison's version is about obsession. Cindy Lauber's version is about desire. Celine Dion's version is about driving.

Absolutely one of the top 25 best songs of the 1980,s....haunting, have never forgotten it...

You never outgrow Cyndi Lauper

Cyndis AMAZING voice !!! Shes so UNDERRATED and her quirky style got more attention than her TALENT. SHES AGING BEAUTIFULLY , TOO !

Cyndi has such an amazing voice and is one of the most beautiful women of past and today Ages like a fine wine

This woman has an amazing four octave range and I don't think many out there realize it. Such an amazing voice.

Nope, I prefer cyndi’s version to

I used to be bullied at school because I claimed that Cyndi's voice was 1,000,000 superior than Madonna's.

First time I heard this cover in '89 it hit me like a sledgehammer. It is one of the most iconic songs from the late 80's! Never gets old.

I'm sorry. I know that I'm going to be in the minority on this, but I think this is by far the best version ever released. She killed it. As a previous poster said, "This was her most mature and underrated hit." I like it much better than Celine Deon's version. It's so beautifully done. The cello's just put it over the edge. Unbelievably romantic and passionate. I agree - "no one beats Cyndi's performance of this song."

Meu Deus!!! Como o tempo passou.. Eu tinha 17 anos quando foi lançada essa música. Hoje com 51 , casada e três filhos jovens. Que saudades Cyndi Lauper Um abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷

1992: Damn, this song rocks and Cindi has a hell of a voice. 2022: Damn, this song still rocks. Cindi's range was greatly underappreciated in her day.

She has a beautiful strong expressive voice and an imposing presence on stage. Love her, and Roy would have loved her too.

Cyndi's version sounds so believable, like she really is burning on the drive over to her booty call

I listen to this song in 2024 and "till I die, love the music from the 80's

The version of this song is incredibly under appreciated. 💯

Love her music and her style, she made it ok for me to be different in the 80s. Still listening in 2020

I had to escape The city was sticky and cruel Maybe I should have called you first But I was dying to get to you I was dreaming while I drove The long straight road ahead, uh, huh Could taste your sweet kisses Your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside I drove all night to get to you Is that alright I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you Is that alright I drove all night What in this world Keep us from tearing apart No matter where I go I hear The beating of your heart I think about you When the night is cold and dark No one can move me The way that you do Nothing erases the feeling between me and you I drove all night to get to you Is that alright I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you Is that alright I drove all night Could taste your sweet kisses Your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside I drove all night to get to you Is that alright I drove all night Crept in your room Woke you from your sleep To make love to you I drove all night Taste your sweet kisses Your arms open wide This fever for you is just burning me up inside I drove all night

Cyndi's version is the better version in my opinion. The emotion in her version is unmatched with other versions I've heard.

Cyndi Lauper She grew up in an abusive environment and spent two weeks in the woods alone with her dog after leaving the abusive family. . I grew up in an abusive family and will be the first to say it totally destroys one and makes them open to strange and perverse directions. Kids growing up with strong families are so much more adjusted and don't have to deal with the emotional damage which I deal with on daily basis.

One of the most powerful singing voices in the world!

Thirty years have passed and this videoclip remains a work of art.

Guess who is playing guitar on this folks. Eric Clapton. Oh yes.

This is one of my favorite songs by her... She is such an amazing artist.... ❤

She destroys Madonna. Better writer, singer, performer. Come at me, bro!

Even Roy Orbison himself would praise her version.

👁️💕 CYNDI LAUPER THIS WOMAN CAN SING.... PERIOD. SHE ROCKS 😎. 👁️MISS THE 80'S

Her songs are full of heart, her voice so emotional, this video very beautiful.

Cyndi Lauper is one of a kind Talent. A Beautiful Voice.

She got tagged with the reputation of being kind of a goofball which has always overshadowed the fact that she's a GREAT singer.

Quien escuchando en abril del 2024? desde Córdoba Argentina

❤ Cyndi version is better than Celine Dion version ever 👈

Sorry Celine, this one hits the spot!

I know Roy Orbison and Celine Dion sang it too, but nobody will ever beat Cyndi’s version of this song. Her voice just hits me in so many ways that I could just put this on repeat.

Cindy’s version is the best. It outperforms Celine Dion’s version.

she not just singing, so wonderfully, her interpretation of this song is mind blowing in every way, what is she doing now? its singing and enacting this drama, its so artful, i can play it all night long

29 years ago.. I still love this song.. Thanks RU-vid.... 💖💖💖

Who's still listening in 2019?

Roy Orbinson is one of my favorite singers of all time and this version is a proper homage to him. Incredible interpretation by Cindy Lauper

Among her big hits, this one strikes me as the most mature and underrated. Cyndi's vocals here are strong and in point.

Cyndi's version is by far the best! She's absolutely amazing!

Does Cindy have any bad songs? LOL everything i have listened so far is awesome.

Still makes me cry, for the emotion of memories and music. So beautiful and elegant. Love you still❤

This song is a time machine to the summer of 1989. Some of the greatest days of my life.

I love how Cyndi rarely wears shoes in her 80s performances. She’s so natural and connected.

What a gorgeous woman with an incredible voice.

Cyndi's is absolutely the greatest version, even Roy Orbisons version is better than Celine, I was crushing on Cyndi in the 80s and still in 2024

If there was an Oscar for acting in music, she would well deserve one, perhaps two!

I don't care what anyone thinks, I like Cyndi more than Madonna

I met Cyndi back in 2003 in an album signing and she hugged each fan. She was so gracious and her skin was gorgeous, silky white and she smelled like flowers.

The superior version of this song.

The way she holds that note at the end, My GOD!

I totally cannot get enough of this song, only Cyndi can give me the chills. And make me feel the yearning.

I freaking love this song. I always though that Cyndi Lauper's voice is underrated.

I feel like Cyndi was kinda the Gaga of the 80s in a way she came out of nowhere with her own sound and fashion and beauty and no one really got her at first cause of the way she danced, sounded and looked.

I was fortunate enough to see her live a few nights ago. I have never in my life heard someone hold a note like Cyndi can.

Roy Orbison would have been proud

R.I.P., Cyndi's (68) mom, Catrine, who passed away on 6/1/22, possibly after battling dementia, at 91. She famously appeared in at least 3 of Cyndi's videos. 💔 🕊 😢

Anyone here in October 2024?

I cant believe Im 50 years old, have seen this literally hundreds of times over 34 years (its one of my favorites), and I think I just now understood the story in the video: She never made it. There was an accident (with the wrecked white car?) and now shes haunting that lonely stretch of desert road in her Chevy coupe and lingering in his apartment near the Vegas strip. She always sees it as she imagined with him sleeping, waiting for her. Shes still driving. Dying to get to him. All night. Forever.

This is my favorite Cyndi song. Her vocals are so powerful and the beat is slamming. True Legend and Icon.

10x better than celion dion.

By now... 2024.... a masterpiece of American popular culture!

Cyndi is the best

How in the living hell did Cyndi hold that last note for such a long time!? I get winded after walking 5 feet to the bathroom.

Cindy Lauper is singer.Madonna is showgirl

Great singer and didn't have to push her way to the Top like Madonna! She just did her thing her way!

This is one of the gems from the 80's that is overlooked. This song blew me away back in 1989 when it came out and still amazes me almost 30 years later. That woman knows how to sing like nobody's business.

It doesnt matter if a song is written by Cindy, written for Cindy or simply covered by Cindy. The minute she has sung it, she owns it!

Cyndi Lauper still got it she's beautiful

Sono cresciuta con le tue canzoni ...ti adoro ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I like her version the most because it seems to have the most genuine emotion behind it. Absolute fire!

Far and away the best and ballsiest version. Love the drums in this and the way Cyndi's voice hits the roof towards the end.

This is so ICONIC ... who agrees ??? 😉

I love this video I got to see her In concert

Love Cyndi Lauper! This is my favorite song of hers! 2019 and still listening

She is the only one that could ever be compared to great Roy Orbison. Excellent female version of this great song!....

one of my favorite songs...

OMGosh! I thought this was a Celine Dion song originally....

I feel like Gwen Stefani was heavily influenced by her.

The best version of this marvelous song! No doubt.

Quien disfrutando en 2024, esto si es música, no como bad bunny, que buenos tiempos aquellos, like si estas deacuerdo

I love Cyndi Lauper. Her voice has always been so strong and versatile. Love her songs.

The technicality of her singing, the character and unique vocal style, her iconic looks, her energy, her personality, her songs, her humour, her emotion... I could go on... there isn’t one of these elements that can be bettered by another artist and she has ALL OF THEM

This is a masterpiece! Maybe I'm old and I don't understand the new music, but music that is made back in '80s and '90s is much better than the rubbish that is produced today.

Still gives me chills after all these years!

Just love her and this song. Brings me back to high school days. Love 80's music. Still a great big fan!!!!
