Our guest questioner this week is Cyndi Lauper.  Take it away, Cyndi!

Back in 1984, I burst onto the American music scene with my album She's So Unusual (still considered one of the definitive pop recordings of that era).  In one song I sing about something that pertains to your Lysias class.  What's the name of the song and what do I sing (i.e. you need to quote the line)?

ANSWER:  In "He's So Unusual" Cyndi sings:

You talk of sweeties, bashful sweeties,
I've got one of those.
Oh he's handsome as can be.
But he worries me.
He goes to college and gathers knowledge
Oo, what that boy knows.
He's up on his Latin and Greek,
But in his chicin' he's weak 'cause.
When I want some lovin',
And I gotta have some lovin',
He says, "Please, stop it please."
He's so unusual...

This song was written in 1929 by Al Lewis, Al Sherman, and Abner Silver).
