Editing Girls Just Want to Have Fun (section)

===Critical reception===
Steve Baltin from ''[[Cashbox (magazine)|Cash Box]]'' noted that the "reggae-flavored [[Electronic dance music|dance]] oriented remake" is being given a big boost from the film ''[[To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar]]''. He added, "Lauper still sounds in fine form on the very easy going kick-back track. Particularly fun is the jammin' guitar solo bridge in the middle of the single."<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Baltin |first=Steve |date=October 14, 1995 |title=Pop Singles |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/90s/1995/CB-1995-10-14.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200812062502/https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/90s/1995/CB-1995-10-14.pdf |archive-date=August 12, 2020 |access-date=November 8, 2022 |magazine=[[Cashbox (magazine)|Cash Box]] |page=7}}</ref> In his weekly UK chart commentary, [[James Masterton]] said, "The new version slows the track down to turn it into a far slinkier dance groove to quite inspired effect".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Masterton |first=James |author-link=James Masterton |date=September 11, 1994 |title=Week Ending September 17th 1994 |url=https://chart-watch.uk/archives/1994/week-ending-september-17th-1994 |access-date=September 8, 2021 |website=Chart Watch UK}}</ref> Alan Jones from ''[[Music Week]]'' wrote, "Turning a familiar old favourite into a dance groove unusually required a drop in tempo here, reducing it to a slinky shuffle. The melody and Cyndi's excellent vocals are still its selling points, and the success of Cyndi's ''Twelve Deadly Cyns'' album suggests the timing could be right to make this a hit again."<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Jones |first=Alan |date=September 10, 1994 |title=Market Preview: Mainstream – Singles |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1994/Music-Week-1994-09-10.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20221009/https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1994/Music-Week-1994-09-10.pdf |archive-date=October 9, 2022 |access-date=April 19, 2021 |magazine=[[Music Week]] |page=20}}</ref> Tommy Udo of ''[[NME]]'' considered it a "totally unnecessary reworking" and commented, "It just sounds like somebody's hamfisted and amateurish remix that would normally be hidden away as track 18 – you know, the Will This Do? Mix by DJ Krap – although oddly enough, Cyndi herself had a hand in it all." He concluded, "She could still be bigger than [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]!"<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Udo |first=Tommy |date=September 17, 1994 |title=Singles |url=https://flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/53274990506/ |access-date=October 22, 2023 |magazine=[[New Musical Express|NME]] |page=49}}</ref>
