Cyndi Lauper participates in the 38th Annual San Francisco Gay Pride Parade June 29th, 2008.

Eighties pop icon Cyndi Lauper will appear as a special guest on As The World Turns Thursday, July 3rd. The “She Bop” hitmaker takes center stage to perform her signature ballad “True Colors” as the long-running CBS daytime drama celebrates Gay Pride in the fictional city of Oakdale.

Cyndi’s ATWT appearance will also feature a live rendition of the singer’s latest dance track “Into the Nightlife.”

“These two, they’re in love with each other,” she says, “and I’m proud to be included. I’m going to dedicate ‘True Colors’ to them because ‘True Colors’ is a love song.”
