Music Video of the Day: She Bop by Cyndi Lauper (1984, dir. Edd Griles)


I think this music video can speak for itself, and doesn’t need my help.

I will bring up the crew though.

Director Edd Griles did some of Lauper’s most famous music videos including Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. He was also the executive producer on this one.

Roz Block was a producer on this video. This seems to be the only video Block did.

Mike Negrin shot the video. He seems to have worked primarily on Billy Joel videos, but did a few others as well. Since then, he has mainly done television, which included shooting The Spirit of Christmas (2015) that Lisa reviewed last year.

Norman C. Smith was the editor on this, and only seemed to have edited one other music video, which was Lauper’s Time After Time. According to IMDb he hasn’t done much, but that does include editing Central Park Drifter/Graveyard Shift (1987) that Lisa reviewed last year.

If you look closely then you’ll see wrestler “Captain” Lou Albano who played her father in the music video for Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. I’ll bet Catrine Dominique who played her mom in that video is in here somewhere too, but I’m not 100% sure.

Enjoy!
