Dozens of flights have been canceled in the Buenos Aires International Airport. While many distraught passengers killed time walking around the airport or calling family, a familiar voice came over the airport intercom system. “Come home, in the morning light…”
The voice was that of 80s pop singer, Cyndi Lauper who was also victim of a canceled flight, singing her most famous hit Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. She sang to raise spirits of the travelers who could not get to where they needed to be.
The scene suddenly changed from irritated boredom of passengers wishing they weren’t stranded to passengers raising to their feet cheering, clapping, and singing along with smiles. Lauper was able to drastically change the mood with just one song but she did not stop there, she sang another and made the day for many stranded travelers who otherwise would never have had the experience of singing along with Cyndi Lauper.
Here’s a video of Lauper singing to the aiport: http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/07/cyndi-lauper-sings-for-stranded-airport-passengers/?iref=allsearch
