Girls Just Want to Have Fun

I notice that 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' is credited on this site as a Robert Hazard song. I think this is basically incorrect, as while Hazard is credited as the writer and he did record a demo of it, he did not actually release it himself. The Cyndi Lauper version from 'She's So Unusual' is the original version of this song, so it should be considered her song. Hazard's rough demo was only released unofficially on the internet many years later. He is the songwriter – albeit, his song was significantly changed by Lauper both lyrically and musically – but definitelty not the original recording artist.

Is it possible this could be changed?

Thanks.

It is possible but it won't be change. There is no consideration for common sense on setlist.fm.
