  • She wasn't happy after many left the Taft Theater last night when Dr. John finished. She stood, singing on 2 empty chairs in the row in front of me, everyone was taking pictures/phone videos. She put her hand over my phone, not very nice. Said she didn't want photos of her neck. She had a fit over not having Kleenex, waving her hands at the roadie. Her band caught nasty comments too.

  • whimsical, random, and hilarious -- GREAT SONG!!!

  • nicee song

  • Haha, funny xD

  • I love Cyndi and I'm a huge fan of hers but she really should be very careful on how she deals with the fans because those are the few fans left for her as she's not mainstream anymore, she's not Madonna. She must understand that the few fans that want her autograph and picture is because they appreciate her work and therefore buy her CD's. This song is Gold James, and Love Cyndi anyway.

  • what did she say no to?

  • cyndi lauper said NO!! haha catchy!!

    Anyway Sorry man...

  • cyndi lauper said NO!! haha catchy!!

    Anyway Sorry man...

  • haha dude you shoulda read up on her treatment of fans..she's built up a bit of a reputation .I once saw a guy's friends BEG her to stand in for a picture with him,they had to 'cos she said NO when he asked..she very reluctantly stood in after they begged though but didn't bother to smile...wow. Keep in mind she's a feminist too..she's more likely to agree to a picture if you're a girl..although I also witnessed her turn down a girl who wanted a concert ticket signed.What a charming lady...

  • Dude, This is amazing!!!

    

  • haha! funny and awesome, james!

  • cool song, but I'm sorry for you

  • Great song! Glad you like Helen too! I love Cyndi!

  • I applaud Mr. Collins for creating a cute song from the incident.  I don't remember hearing any derogatory lyrics about Cyndi. I always say that celebrities are people, too. They are human and have emotions. When she said no, there could have been many reasons that we are unaware of. Mr. Collins could have seen it as a big old dis' but if he were in her shoes and experiences what she went through, whatever that may be, and felt how she felt then, he might have said no, too.

  • Did this dude really meet her and she was rude? I don't believe that.

  • Lauper is a smelly cunt who is so pathetic I'd like to barf on her face.

  • Well she probably had a bad day see because celbritys have to have bad days too!

  • Good Day,

    Hehe,..a fun song!

    I was in high school, when Cyndi Lauper became a pop star. I had a crush on her, (forgive me I was 15 then) DOH! hehe. I would also want an autograph/pic etc...

    You made a cool song out of the situation!

    I could not stop chuckling,..and grooving to it,..hehe

    2 thumbs up!!

  • Hey man, it's Ej, I'm loving the music! XD

  • Hahaha! i like it :D! its awesome

  • Where do I begin. Cyndi Lauper has a big heart for her fans and should not be put on display for one single no. Ever thought of the fact that the woman is human and has a right to be tired and the right to an off day. It is sad that you became known and famous on the back of someone who is normally so sweet and charming like Cyndi Lauper. I think you owe Cyndi thanks and an apology she made you famous.

  • @cyndifanalways If you did your research, you'd find that Cyndi has many off days and is often rude to her fans. I think it's funny that you think James Collins owes an apology to Cyn. Some of you fanatics are deluded and somewhat frightening.

    I've never heard of Cyndi Lauper before this song. It seems a few other posters didn't know who she was either. If you ask me, Cyndi Lauper Said No is a win win situation for both James and Cyndi. Cyndi even likes this song, so get over it!

  • I just love this music.

  • Great video! The song has great lyrics and such a fab melody loving the chorus! I know this song is going to be stuck in my head all evening and tomorrow morning when i wake up...:)

  • Every concert i have been too she always makes her way to me and holds my hand, so i can't complain.

  • Funny because back in the day, I tried to get her autograph and she told me she "was too tired." lol

  • veryyyy hot number!!! way ta go james!!! keep up the awesome job!!! we wanna hear more from you here in the philippines bro!!! love cyndi btw!!! hehehe

  • Who cares if she is rude? I'll I care about is that she keeps putting out songs I like. What kind of person she (are any artist is) means zero to me while I'm digging the tunes in the car are at a dance, etc...

  • So i already bought my ticket for her consert and i had in my mind to ask her a pic and autograph ofcourse and tonight i saw this post :( Damn i will travel so many km(14 hours by airplane) i have to take the bus for another 2 hours drive to go her consert and another 2 to get back after midnight probably couse is starting 8.00pm and i want to see her on the end of the show and now i learn that maybe told me no :( Cyndi,if you reading this one you have to know that i love you,

  • damn today i learn about Cyndi said no and i found this post.I am from Greece and i will visit some frineds in the US and a choose to went there at the end of June couse i thought that it will be a great chance to go in a Cyndi's consert about Julie 1st on the Detroit.

  • I guess it just depends on what kind of day your having, Cyndi is featured in a vidoe on here coming out of a concert back in 2008 and there were a group of fans outside and she happily chatted signed pics etc... and her latest blog in 2010 in memphis she was recorded having photo's took with someone on the street. So I would not say she is horrid, Probably just had a bad moment. Now Madonna I would expect that from, She is Rude!!!

  • This has put me off Cyndi a bit. I always got the impression she was very approachable. I never thought she would diss a fan, ungrateful.

  • James, I totally love this song!! would love to hear it on the pop station here in Pittsburgh!!!

  • James, I totally love this song!! would love to hear it on the pop station here in Pittsburgh!!!

  • James, I totally love this song!! would love to hear it on the pop station here in Pittsburgh!!!

  • James - have you more songs you recorded. I love your voice and musicianship. Bonju Patten

  • I have met Cyndi more than once at different shows over the past 15 years and she has never been anything but sweet and kind. The last time I saw her, she had her manager bring a group of about 15 that were waiting outside the stage door back into her dressing room because she was having voice trouble and didnt want to stand out in the cold signing items and taking pictures....BUT she wanted to make sure her fans got a great experience....everyone is allowed a bad day...

  • I really think this song is good. Love the words and the music regardless if the story is true or not - it's a great song

  • nice song very catchy :D

  • HEY THANKS FOR THIS SONG. i LOVE IT!! GOOOD JOB.... WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!!!

  • HEY THANKS FOR THIS SONG. i LOVE IT!! GOOOD JOB.... WISH YOU ALL THE BEST!!!

  • OMG! I love this James! It's awesome! "it was wrong" ..... ahahaha! ... and great meeting you too! gretchen

  • Love this song!..LOL I have the most respect for Cyndi as an artist.. but I was heartbroken when I got to meet her once...She was rude and cold!! I felt like crap after our encounter at an event...well shes human.......bad day I guess??? I still love her despite my experience..LOL

  • Love this song!..LOL I have the most respect for Cyndi as an artist.. but I was heartbroken when I got to meet her once...She was rude and cold!! I felt like crap after our encounter at an event...well shes human.......bad day I guess??? I still love her despite my experience..LOL

  • haha I really like this! :) Great job!!

  • Good song. Is it just me, or does the beginning of the song remind you of Weird Al Yankovic? Also, the guitar riff at the end sounds like She Bop.

    I still like Cyndi though, no one is perfect. Roger Waters spat on a fan, but I still like him (at least musically).

  • I love you Cyndi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • thanx for that i did enjoy it plz watch my film and comment if you like it ell ur buds

  • This song is entertaining (Y)! But awsome story too!

    Really awsome cruise you got on, I must say :D

  • Most celeb would say fuck off so she's actually polite by saying no.

  • this is awesome xD

  • this vid rox

  • i don't really know who cyndi lauper is. but this is a very entertaining song

  • @Aawwdorable if you dont know who she is your a moron

  • @garpigdaddy... I just checked Aawwdorable's account - she's 14 years old.... so it makes total sense that she doesn't know who Cyndi Lauper is.

    And Aawwdorable.... even though you don't know who Cyndi Lauper is, I'm thrilled that you found my song entertaining. All the best to you! garpigdaddy, please apologize to Aawwdorable.

  • haha that wuz a pretty awesome song...but her outfits were pretty wierd..lol

  • haha. that wuz a pretty awesome song..

  • Currently this is my favourite song!

    Can't get it out of my head.

    James, I love your CD cover at the top of this page.

  • Good work James!

    Can't get enough.

  • James, what an awesome guy you are! Thanks for letting me know about this video, Number 1 one you say, huh ??!?! How awesome is that!

    Keep up the great work & stay in touch with anything you need.

    C.

  • i love this fucking song and i love james !

    check it !

  • This should be a worldwide smash hit!

  • OMG THIS SONG IS AWESOME!!!!!! I have everything of hers too hehee James Collins rocks my world! lol

  • Very catchy song but, Cyndi must have been very tired after performing all night....

    I LOVE YOU CYNDI XXXXXXXXX

  • Those of you leaving whiney comments in your know-it-all smug tones need to shut the hell up. Like badge162 says, we don't own these people. Look at what the woman HAS done, not the tiny thing she didn't. Then look at what YOU'VE done in your life. Maybe you should take care of your own shit first. Good song though.

  • On the other hand, we dont know how many times she says yes. For example in a more consentual setting Cyndi happily gave one of my best friends an autograph and a hug. We need to remember that many famous people are pushed and pulled in a million directions all the time. It's also dignified for us fans to respect someone elses space. They are not our property.

  • badge162, what environment would be more "concentual" than asking an artist for a picture or autograph after a concert? I just think it's great that this singer songwriter took a bad experience with an artist he obviously admires and turned it into something good.

    The song is called "Cyndi Lauper Said No" not "Cyndi Lauper's My Property" I wish more songwriters were this clever.

    A friend of mine was also told "no" by Cyndi.

    Your friend is lucky I guess.  You seem so proud of your BF.

  • I am one of the biggest Cyndi Lauper fans in the world. I have seen her in concert more than 50 times. I went to Connecticut to see her at Foxwoods and much to my shock, she was in the food court area. I was very excited. I asked her for an autograph and she said, "no, I am with my family". I cried like a baby... oh well!

  • Doesn't surprise me about Lauper.

    A HUGE industry producer "friended" her on Facebook and she declined!

    The more I hear these stories..the more I realize that some folks are disingenuous and actually NEED an attitude re-adjustment! Fans keep them employed!!

  • @KatradioNY Maybe that's because Cyndi is not on Facebook, at least not personally.

  • ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!! THIS IS A TOP 10 POP SMASH IF YOU ASK ME ... and I still love Mrs. Thornton too :)

  • Definitely different.

  • Perhaps someone should let her know about this song and how she emotionally scarred Mr. Collins. Perhaps she could provide an explanation.

  • This song ROCKS! Bought it on itunes!!

  • I just love the groove to this song > thanks James for another great tune > totally in ,y head > just can't get enough

  • I am not confused! this is a great song, it's cool the way James get's even without getting mad!!

  • great song unknow for me !

  • I freakin' love this!!!!

    Does Rosie O'Donnell know about this song?

    Imagine, Cyndi Lauper being this nasty to one of Rosie's R Family Cruise guests. The nerve.

    Happy sails anyone?

  • I can't get enough of this song on my iPod at the gym. Great song to work out to.

    I'm happy that Cyndi Lauper Said No.

  • This song is great!!! Very clever....another brilliant song by Mr. Collins!

    Great work!!!

  • its been a while but just wanted to comeback to one of my favorite songs by James!! This is such a amazing song!!!

  • No...no, no, no....thank the Lordy she said no!! Love this tune...vid rocks too - especially Cyn dancin' away to the fact she was .... well....not so nice. Sigh....guess everyone has a bad day now and then. Do it again, Cyndi...wanna have fun with the next song written about ya ;)-

  • You know I have always wanted to meet her and i've always been afraid if i did she would be rude and i wouldn't like her any more so I hope i never do now because i absolutly love her :) Good song. but you know if she took a picture with you she'd have to with everyone.

  • I've seen her get snappy as well - but I'm no angel either and I still love her. Love this song too!

  • Very clever and quite catchy.

  • Love IT!

  • AMAZING!! I have already told you! but this totally ROCKS!! ... i favorited it and gave it 5 starz!! :) Keep em comin!!

  • I love it! I have had a few encounters with her too. She can be a bit moody at times ... but like everyone else in the world - she has her good moments and her bad moments. It's sad that you caught her in a "mood".

  • I've heard a few stories, too. But my own experience with her was a positive one. Check out my channel for the phone interview I did with her in 1995 (posted in three parts), when I was 17 years old! She was really cool.

  • Hi this are the german engineers with Michigan attitude :).. Awsome song, nice lyrics. If I was Cyndi, you would get the picture!!!

    Bulldog Coffee rocks.

    Dan and Ömer

  • Great song! The thing is, Cyndi Lauper is only nice to her fans when her popularity is at an all-time low. I have met her briefly twice, once in 1993 then in 2003. She was really a wench on 2003. I don't know. She hasn't come up with any good original music in several years. The dance album was terrible. She should stop thinking she is so great because honestly, she hasn't had a real hit for almost 20 years!

  • she still said no to this guy, thats why he wrote the song.

  • fantastic!

  • my bff's bf saw cyndi lauper once on the street and tried to give her my bff's album. Now, my bff is ALL THAT musically. His bf said "this music will totally change your life, please take this album, we love you and we think you will love this!" and she was like "I can GUARANTEE this music is NOT gonna change my life, now get lost!" She was so rude he can't even listen to her anymore. Sad.

  • Thanks James.

    I just posted this to my Facebook account for many others to see.

    Is this on your website?

  • I heard this a long time ago on the radio... lol it took forever to find this since I didn't know how to spell 'cyndi lauper'

  • Same here! Haha, I was spelling it "Cyndi Laugher", thank god for google correcting me :P

  • James, love the song. Years have passed and yet your songs still get stuck in my head, lol. Hope it gets lots of play in Toronto. Dawna x

  • this song made my day today when i heard it on the radio...hilarious

  • cewl

  • Heard this on the radio in Toronto today.. nearly drove off the road I was laughing so hard. BRILLIANT!

  • k..posted on my facebook status...I LOVE IT...and yes, I am from the T dot!!! I hope she hears it and you finally get to meet her and get a pic with her...or maybe this time you will say NO! hahahahha!

  • This is awsome!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I heard It's better to enjoy Cyndi from "Afar" get to close and she shows her "True Colors"

  • Oh Dear James... How could she do that to you?... and on a freakin cruise ship.

    Love the song... she showed her 'True Colours".... too funny...

  • LOVE THE SONG!!!!

  • Fantastic my friend!!! ;)

  • Great song!!! this is me James, Matan!

    Love this song and cyndi!

  • lol, that's funny man. Way to turn a situation into a success. Don't you hate it when someone you respect and admire doesn't meet your expectations?

  • please...

    what would you do without her?

  • Comment removed

  • had to come back and listen again. James, i'm addicted ! LOL ! very catchy song ! cheers ! ... Joseph

  • Did she? I don't believe it...In 2002 she was in Vegas with Cher, she was late and couldnt give much time to her fans, however, she gave me and my sister one of our most memorables moments, my sister start crying cause she was about to be a single mother and Cyndi was very sweet to us, then she hold her, talked to her and cried together, I DO HAVE PICTURES OF ALL THAT!!! I felt respected as a fan, and she made us feel as FRIENDS, very nice chat. Its more, but not room to write it all here.

  • James, love the song!!!! Thank God she said 'No'. What a b*tch haha.

  • Even if she was making any reference at all to Madge, it would be a complimentary one -- the "Madonna" is the pure side of things, the "whore", obviously the opposite. It's about the Madonna/-whore complex.

  • lol, as if she lies awake at night planning a vendetta against Madonna. They have nothing to do with one another.

  • You'd think she took the last seat on the lifeboat after the cruise ship capsized by reading some of the comments here. The song is kind of funny, but this isn't the first or last time she or any celebrity has ever turned a fan down. If everyone wrote about being dissed by a celebrity, we'd all have songs on itunes.

  • fantastic as always,I keep watching it!One of my new favorites

  • Oh my LOVE THE SONG SO Original :) thanks for the Link :)

  • Cold Canadians, cute Pensalvanians, and a red hot song -- what a night!

  • Comment removed

  • lol the fact that you can't even spell her name says everything.

  • I love how any comment that says they like cyndi lauper without saying anything bad about James gets negative points. frickin retarded.

    The majority of the comments made my people who have met Cyndi Lauper that I have heard are positive. She is human, do you all realize how many times you've been rude in your life? And you aren't even being constantly photographed and talked about. She is amazing to her fans, one moment isn't a reason to call her a cunt.

  • Amazing things come from rejection says the boy with the stolen hat.

  • Can't wait for the remix!...

  • Always wit da humor... where duz he get his material frum anyways... Real Life or sumthin'?... Sheeeesh! Hahaha

    I need 2 write a hit song soon. I hope there's a real 'celebrity' da next boat cruz I'm on too... Ciao F#@ker

  • Very good, indeed.

  • Another FIVE-STAR song & video by James Collins!... Very infectuous driving beat, with just a hint of 70's New-Wave flavor thrown in the mix.

    James has an uncanny talent for taking real-life situations and creating the most amazing musical and visual images and stories around them. -True talent indeed.

    Watch out for this guy!...James is going to go to the top!!

  • HAHAH dude!! I can't stop listening to this song! seriously james! great job!!

  • HEY!! sweet !! sounds great man!!

  • Great tune!!! love it!!

  • I never get tired of this song! I'm watching since James uploaded it! Hope Cyn see this vid, if she hasn't seen this yet! She will love it, it's so funny! Congrats again James :) Waiting for a duet with you and Cyn! <3

  • I loved the song. Even in bad mood Cyndi makes positive things. You are a blessed man!

    See you!

  • This is great!

  • Just heard this on CJLS Yarmouth, Great, great tune.

  • I LOVE this James!!!!!!!!!

    Just awesome!

    Congrats on another fantastic hit!

  • fisanch - i'm with you ! ... i think CYN is the BEST !

  • beg to differ, I think she's a used up tired old woman who doesn't know when to move on. She's trying to act like Madonna and it's more than a little sad. Sorry Cindy but your time was 25 years ago. Know when to quit.

    Nice one James!!

  • Loved the song, bought it on itunes! Should check out this artist, he is really great!!

  • loved the song, bought it on itunes! Should check out this artist, he is really great!

  • Now, I've never met Cyndi, and though she may have said No, I'm sure she's not a c**t

  • phuckeue pls give fisanch a break - he/she is writing from Peru (Lima) and seems to be a major Cyndi fan; that's all. Who wouldn't be? She's brilliant despite this little glitch in her Celebralife;)

  • Absolutely! this is fun, just fun - something some people seem to not have too much familiarity with! AND- - - - I think anyone who'd characterize her as a c*** has a serious character defect. Thank god we don't have to meet these people!!!

  • 5 stars !!! awesome song and video ! sorry you didn't get a pic but brilliant way of turning a negative into a positive !!!!!!! cheers !

  • i cant wait to hear the remixs ;)

  • Me too! I ha ha.

  • I'd be thrilled to have my picture taken with you, James! (if you ask me nicely, of course...) That's a big YES from me! Love this track!

  • Ha - what a pisser!!

    Featured track on my radio shows this week, mate!!

  • Great hook!
