Cyndi Lauper Version
"I Drove All Night" was recorded by Cyndi Lauper for her third solo album A Night To Remember. Lauper said she wanted to do it because she liked the idea "of a woman driving, of a woman in control." The song was a top 10 pop hit in the United States (her last U.S. top 40 single to date), peaking at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also a hit in other countries. The single was certified gold by the RIAA. It received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. Cyndi Lauper's vocals span 2 octaves from a Bass A2 to a Tenor C C#5.
The only official remix of the song for Lauper's version is the Jungle mix, a version that incorporates supposed jungle noises.
The music video for "I Drove All Night," directed by Scott Kalvert and Cyndi Lauper, features shots of an antique car, Lauper's characteristically manic dancing, and movie film projected onto Lauper's naked body.
