"The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" is a 1985 song by American singer Cyndi Lauper. It was released as a single for the film The Goonies. It was her fifth Top 10 single on the Hot 100.

Before its inclusion on The Essential Cyndi Lauper in 2003, the song did not appear 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 several artists, such as Bombones, Haruko Momoi, The Advantage, New Found Glory, Minibosses, and Tomoyuki Uchida. The song was featured in several iterations of Konami's Goonies video games, most notably The Goonies for the Famicom and The Goonies II for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It was also featured in an instrumental version in Pop'n Music 10.

Steven Spielberg had made Lauper the musical director for The Goonies soundtrack. She sought out new bands to be included on the project including her friends, The Bangles.

Lauper originally titled the song simply "Good Enough," but it was changed by Warner Brothers, who wanted the title of the film to be part of the song title for marketing reasons.
