Rock in Rio 2024: Cyndi Lauper sings the theme song from The Goonies – Revista Clube MSX

Cyndi Lauper made her long-awaited performance at the 2024 edition of Rock in Rio . The American singer and actress took to the stage last Friday (20), joining an 100% female line-up that also featured big national and international names such as Ivete Sangalo, Karol G, Gloria Gaynor and Katy Perry.

As many expected, the theme song from the movie The Goonies was present in Lauper's setlist. “ The Goonies 'R' Good Enough ”, which became known worldwide at the height of the singer's career and with the success of the 1985 movie, also has a special place in the hearts of MSX users, as it is part of the soundtrack of the game The Goonies, released by Konami in 1986 for the MSX1.

The song was the third on Cyndi Lauper's setlist at Rock in Rio 2024. Fan Jonathan Leite captured this moment and shared a Short on his YouTube channel. Watch below:

About the game on MSX

The Goonies is a platform game released by Konami in 1986 for the MSX – and inspired by the film of the same name. The most famous song in the game is a simplified version of the song “The Goonies 'R' Good Enough”, by Cyndi Lauper.

In the game, the protagonist must rescue children kidnapped by the villains of the Fratelli family. During the adventure, the player faces several challenges and enemies, such as skulls, deadly waterfalls, villains and stalactites.

Several games based on the film were released for different platforms, such as Atari 8-bit, Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Commodore 64, NES and ZX Spectrum. In Brazil, the versions for MSX1 and NES were especially popular.
