Check out this video on youtube if you don't know about it already and read the comments:

I was very excited about this until I heard it, because Cyndi ROCKS! So apparently this was the first single ever released by Cyndi and she was meant to "sound like someone else". I really doubt this is Cyndi, it sounds nothing like her!Then again, I went on to read that she didn't even have a copy until 2002 when she confirmed it was her. How strange! I'm not sure about this version at all.

Does anyone know any more about this?

By the way, how annoying was the repeated mis-spelling of McVie in the comments?!?

I had a similar reaction as the comment person...

LOVE YMLF...love Cyndi...HATE this version. It's like they took EVERYTHING that was good about the song out of it.

But, it's just one more degree in six degrees of separation...

still not sure if it's actually her.

I don't believe this is Cyndi Lauper. Doesn't sound a thing like her. She must have her reasons for claiming to be the singer on this.

And this version is absolute junk. Possibly the worst cover I've ever heard of a Fleetwood Mac song.

Here's a picture of the single that was released for her version:

It's Cyndi. She used to sing in cover bands in the 70's until she formed Blue Angel in 1978.

She was paid 12 bucks in 1977 to record a few covers for someone and this was the only one that was released. She got "paid to sound like someone else," in her words.

I know the woman who gave her the single; she said Cyndi was indeed surprised that it saw the light of day at all!
