"The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" is a song by American singer Cyndi Lauper. It was released as a single for ''The Goonies'', a 1985 film which was released around the same time as the single. It was her fifth Top 10 single on the Hot 100. ==Background== Before its inclusion on ''The Essential Cyndi Lauper'' in 2003, the song never appeared on any of Lauper's albums or the 1994 compilation ''Twelve Deadly Cyns...and Then Some''. Lauper admitted in an interview with Matthew Rettenmund that she hated the song, which was why she had chosen not to include it on her first compilation. The song has been covered by a few artists, such as Bombones, Haruko Momoi, The Advantage, New Found Glory, and Tomoyuki Uchida. The song was featured in several iterations of Konami's Goonies video games, most notably the popular NES game ''Goonies II''. It was also featured as an instrumental version in ''Pop'n Music 10''. Steven Spielberg had made Cyndi the musical director for ''The Goonies'' soundtrack. She sought out new bands to be included on the project including her friends, The Bangles. The official title of the song is just "Good Enough", as is the way Cyndi had titled it when it was written and the way she announced it at concerts. She never said the 'new' title, "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough", at any concert. It was changed, only in name, because Warner Brothers insisted that the marketing pointed towards the film and that is when "The Goonies 'R'" was tacked on to the title of the song. Cyndi refused to play the song live after 1987. She finally incorporated it back into her live show during several dates in Australia in 2004. Fans kept requesting the song and Cyndi eventually sang the first verse and chorus a cappella. She has since incorporated the song back into her live set, due to overwhelming fan recognition. In 2012, Lauper recorded a parody version entitled "Taffy Butt" for the second season premiere episode of the Fox animated television series ''Bob's Burgers''; the episode is an homage to ''The Goonies''. Her son, a fan of the series, insisted she record the new version. In 2014, "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" was heavily featured in a ''The Goonies''-themed episode of the ABC comedy series ''The Goldbergs''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Music from The Goldbergs Season 1 Episode 16 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Goonies 'R' Good Enough」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
