#Danger zone soundtrack movie

Who doesn't automatically have this come into their mind when seeing Tom Cruise sitting in a fighter jet? Loggins' passionate vocals partner with an unapologetically '80s sonic tapestry for one of the most earworming movie tunes ever. Harold Faltermeyer and Steve Stevens, 'Top Gun Anthem'Īlthough some may prefer Faltermeyer's quintessential synth-pop theme 'Axel F' (from 'Beverly Hills Cop'), we'll take this instrumental gem – starring Stevens' memorable guitar-shredding melody line – every time. Loggins sidelines the rock bombast a bit and just has some retro Reagan-era fun. Simply put, it's the perfect tune to match with a bunch of tanned, ripped dudes playing beach volleyball. Maybe Marie accidentally got the Miami Sound Machine song? Backed with brassy flair by a funky trumpet section, the R&B and soul singer excels on an up-tempo number that offers a funky counterpart to the album's heavy dose of '80s rock. This is a very different outing for the band known for 'I Want You to Want Me' and 'The Flame.' Co-written by 'Top Gun' composer Harold Faltermeyer, the synth-rocker manages to showcase some of Cheap Trick's signature sound even with lyrics about fighter jets. This is pretty much 'Danger Zone Lite': While it has the same hard-charging vibe, and the Fortune lead singer does what he can, the song doesn't quite reach the same heights as Loggins' number. 'Let's light the fires': Tom Cruise arrives by helicopter for world premiere of 'Top Gun: Maverick' 7. Not terrible, not great either, yet just right for when you want to hold up a lighter. Those who enjoy pure '80s cheese – like that gooey, comes-out-of-a-spray-can stuff – will find it with this very earnest rock ballad. A really hooky chorus does help lift an otherwise average track.

Seeing Gloria Estefan's group on an '80s soundtrack would usually be an exciting proposition, but 'Rhythm Is Gonna Get You' this is not. The song just kind of meanders without any real high points, which is probably fitting considering the title.

Highly melodramatic and aggressively mediocre, it's not hard to understand why it was stuck near the end of the album. Review: Tom Cruise's excellent 'Top Gun: Maverick' takes to the skies, sticks to the formula 10. In honor of the new 'Top Gun,' we're feeling that need for speed and to rank every song on the '86 soundtrack: The sequel 'Top Gun: Maverick' (in theaters May 27) features Lady Gaga's dramatic new power ballad 'Hold My Hand,' as well as Loggins' original version of 'Danger Zone,' one of four songs by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock on the original 'Top Gun' soundtrack. The first film arrived at a time when a blockbuster movie could spawn multiple instant hits, and that record in particular had noteworthy chart-toppers and solid deep cuts. Instead, after Starship – the purveyors of tunes such as 'We Built This City' and 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' – turned it down, the iconic tune went at the last minute to Kenny Loggins, who was already working on his own number for the 1986 film, 'Playing With the Boys.' There's so much talk about multiverses these days, consider this: What if Starship had actually agreed to sing 'Danger Zone' for 'Top Gun'?
