MOVIE SOUNDTRACK FEATURE: "DANGER ZONE"
Kenny Loggins "Danger Zone"
Top Gun is another movie from the 1980s that is beloved by many. "Danger Zone" is a song that almost everyone recognizes, and it is thanks to the movie. The soundtrack to the movie was #1 on Billboard's chart for 5 weeks, and was the best selling soundtrack of 1986. With four songs breaking into Billboard's Top 100 chart that year, it makes sense. "Danger Zone" peaked at #2 on the chart, while "Take My Breath Away" by Berlin made it to #1. "Take My Breath Away" won Best Original Song both at the Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. An interesting fact about today's song is that multiple other musical artists were approached to do "Danger Zone." All declined for various reasons, before it was decided that Kenny Loggins would be the one to do it. The song was in the top 15 of seven worldwide charts, and finished at #42 on Billboard's year end chart for 1986. The music video, according to MuchMusic network, was described by the U.S. Navy as "one of the best recruiting tools ever." I can guarantee that most of you have probably felt yourself naturally singing this song when you feel as though you're doing something dangerous. Take the time to step into the "Danger Zone" today.
