DB find it for me...are you talking about the Europe song? What movie was that in?

daneblazer · 01-27-10, 10:54 PM

maybe not in a movie but...

The song enjoys notable popularity in many sports arenas and stadiums; public address booths have often played the opening keyboard riff to rally the home crowd; it has also become a staple of high school and college pep bands for this same purpose.[10] It was also frequently used in the American television show Arrested Development as the opening theme of G.O.B.'s magic show. The song was used for the American commercial of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and is used as an entrance theme for professional wrestler Bryan Danielson in Ring of Honor. It was the unofficial song of the Eurobasket 1987 held in Athens Greece (it was the main song theme played during the time-outs) and it is still heavily associated with both the introductions of the Detroit Pistons at their home games at The Palace of Auburn Hills as well as the surprise and unprecedented victory of the Greek Men's Basketball team over the team of the Soviet Union in the last seconds of that Cup final (1987). On The Singing Bee, it was used preceding the final round, called "The Final Countdown." The song has been used in the video games SingStar '80s, Saints Row 2 and Lego Rock Band.

RAD! Wow...well done. "Break the Ice." We have a solid top 5 now.

Is that Vegas Dave singing? He was much thinner then.

Show me Heaven - Days of Thunder

Cheesy song, cheesy movie.
Don´t ya just love in racing movies how they have always have a customary shot of the good guy´s right foot pressing down just a little bit harder than the bad guys´? What´s that all about?

Cougar Bait · 01-28-10, 07:48 PM

Dunder, I looked it up, but this one might be too gay.

No argument there Cougar, I didn´t realise they had to be any good.
I´ll have another think.

Dunder, none of them are good, but this one just rubs me the wrong way. It's like I should be watching a Lifetime movie or something.
