cyndi lauper
Time After Time" was the second commercially released solo single by singer Cyndi Lauper.
The song is to date her second highest charting and most commercially successful single worldwide after "Girls Just Want to Have Fun". Though "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" is considered Lauper's signature song, she did not write it. However, she, along with Rob Hyman of The Hooters wrote "Time After Time", which is widely considered a classic ballad of the 1980s, and is still played frequently on adult contemporary radio.
The song has been covered, either in live performance or on a recording, by at least 97 different artists including Miles Davis, Dilana, Everything But the Girl, Eddie Money, The Hooters, Matchbox Twenty, INOJ, Lil' Mo, The Kreep, Blaque, Eva Cassidy, Willie Nelson, Uncle Kracker, Distant Soundz, Gandharvas, Joey McIntyre, Nichole Nordeman, Patti LuPone, Sugar Ray, Spoken, Gameface, Quietdrive, TRUSTcompany, Natalie, and Cassandra Wilson.
Lauper in the "Time After Time" music video, directed by Edd Griles.It was played in the 'dance scene' of Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (David Mirkin, 1997) and Napoleon Dynamite (Jared Hess, 2004), and as a main theme in View from the Top (Bruno Barreto, 2003). Mark Williams and Tara Morice performed the song in the Strictly Ballroom soundtrack (in the scene where Scott and Fran dance on the rooftop). Eva Cassidy's version was featured in the WB TV Series, Smallville, and it was added to the first Smallville soundtrack, The Talon Mix. It was also covered in 2006 by Quietdrive. It also contributed to a running gag in the second season of the TV Series My Name Is Earl.
