CAUSING A COMMOTION (WHO'S THAT GIRL, 1987)

This is a classic Madonna tune in the '80s. While the film leaves a lot to be desired (she plays a free-spirited ex-con who wants to prove she's innocent), Pop icon and movie star herself Madonna still commands the stage in the soundtrack arena.

CAUSING A COMMOTION

sung by: Madonna

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

You met your match when you met me

I know that you will disagree it’s crazy

But opposites attract you’ll see

And I won’t let you get away so easy

The love you save may be your own

Can’t fight this feeling, aren’t you tired of being alone

You won’t admit it but you know it’s true

It’s not a secret how I feel when I stand next to you

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

Someday you’ll see my point of view

You can’t keep wishing on the stars baby

What works for me can work for you

You’ve got to make a compromise and maybe

Then we can keep our love alive

And when it falls we won’t let it die

It doesn’t matter if you win or lose

It’s how you play the game so get into the groove

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

Causing a commotion, causing a commotion

Causing a commotion, causing a commotion

I hope you find what you’re looking for

Is it mine, walk through that door

We’re wasting time, make up your mind

And get into the groove

Then we can keep our love alive

And when it falls we won’t let it die

It doesn’t matter if you win or lose

It’s how you play the game so get into the groove

I hope you find what you’re looking for

Is it mine, walk through that door

We’re wasting time, make up your mind

And get into the groove

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

Causing a commotion, causing a commotion

Causing a commotion, causing a commotion

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

I’ve got the moves baby, you got the motion

If we got together we’d be causing a commotion

OH INDUSTRY (BEACHES, 1988)

“You're not dead yet so stop living as if you are!” – CC Bloom

Oh Industry once again shows the dependable range of Bette Midler when she starred in her first musical as CC Bloom in the tearjerker Beaches. One of the best four-hanky weeper that came in the '80's and still packs a punch in the drama department.


OH INDUSTRY
sung by: Bette Midler

I am the captain and this is my shrine

Lord of the manor, see what I leave behind

River in flames, cities on fire

Yes, I’m a relic trapped in the wire

Hydrogen fuel, it burns so clean

Throbs in the veins; a mother lovin’ machine

She is my wife, her mechanical heart

Constantly serving ‘til death do us part

Now a glorious war draws to a close

The yellow winds blow, and I have to know

Oh industry, whatever will become of me?

Soon the cruel rains will start

Is it true we must part company?

Oh industry, whatever will become of me?

What have I ever done?

Where did I go wrong?

Joined at the hip; pain, hunger and I

Leave our gift to the world ‘neath the phosphorous sky

A labor of love is the truest of all

But will I be forsaken after the fall?

Now a glorious war draws to a close

The yellow winds blow. and I have to know

Oh industry, whatever will become of me?

Nothing after the flood but the fire and the mud’s prophecy

Oh industry, whatever will become of me?

Of me?

Industry, charity, faith, hope

Industry, charity, faith, hope

Industry, charity, faith, hope

Industry, charity, faith, hope

Industry, charity, faith, hope

GAMBLER (VISION QUEST, 1985)

“But all I ever settled for is that we're born to live and then to die, and... we got to do it alone, each in his own way. And I guess that's why we got to love those people who deserve it like there's no tomorrow. 'Cause when you get right down to it - there isn't.” – Louden Swain

The song Gambler though famous in the ‘80’s was overshadowed by Madonna’s other and more famous song Crazy For You in the movie Vision Quest. Sporting a very different look and pretty much one of her early career image can be seen while singing (and dancing) to Gambler.


GAMBLER
sung by: Madonna

Gambler, gambler

I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise

Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes

Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say

'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah

Don't want to say this but I think that I should

I'm better off forgotten if you think that I'd be good

One day you see me the next day I'm gone

Don't fight me baby I don't want to hold on

I'm a gambler, a gambler

You're not happy with the way I act

You better turn around boy, don't look back

You're getting angry, you know I can see

You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me

I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise
Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes
Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say
'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah

You can't stop me now

'Cause I'm right and I'm making advances

Let me show you how

Tonight, I'll be taking my chances

On you, on you, on you, on you, that's right baby

I'm a gambler, gambler

You understand what I'm talking about?

I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise
Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes
Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say
'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah

I'm a gambler, a gambler

Gambler, 'cause I'm a gambler

You can't stop me now

I'm on the road baby I know how

You can't stop me now

Oh no

You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now

'Cause I'm a gambler, yeah

I'm a gambler

That's right baby

LOVE COMES WITHOUT A WARNING (THE LONELY GUY, 1984)

“I know phony sweat when I smell it. When you first came in,

I thought you were Larry Bird.” – Iris

The opening song of The Lonely Guy is sung by the famous group America. Love Comes Without A Warning is one of the lesser known songs of the group but known to their loyal listeners. The opening theme sets the mood for the life of the titular character played with ease by funnyman Steve Martin.


LOVE COMES WITHOUT A WARNING
sung by: America

When life was just empty rooms

For company I'd talk to the moon

I danced along to my own song

That no one could hear

When nights were silent and dark

I'd lie in shadows, stare at the stars

The quiet voice that lifted my heart

Was always so clear

It told me...

The chance for love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love comes without warning

So be ready for love

I dreamed it thousands of times

I even felt your skin touchin' mine

Sometimes you were so clear in my mind

I knew you were here

It kept me...

Believin' love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love comes without warning

So be ready for love

Yours are the eyes

I have spent my life lookin' for

If they're not telling lies

You were lookin' for me

I wanna tell everyone

Who's waitin' in the dark for the sun

Before your chance in life is gone

You'll be in the light

Remember...

The chance of love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love (always comes) comes without warning

So be ready for love

Your chance for love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love (always comes) comes without warning

So be ready for love

Your chance for love comes without warning

So don't stop looking for it

Yeah love (always comes) comes without warning

So be ready for love

WHAT IS LOVE (SUPERGIRL, 1984)

“Leave this place and do no harm!” – Supergirl

Though no love theme with vocals was ever recorded in Superman’s famous cousin Kara (Helen Slater), Supergirl brought by the same producer who made us believe a man can fly, manages to give instead a ‘soaring’ theme conducted by Jerry Goldsmith especially in the first flying sequence of Supergirl. '80's pop song What Is Love by Howard Jones is heard during Selena's party played by Faye Dunaway.


WHAT IS LOVE
sung by: Howard Jones

I love you whether or not you love me
I love you even if you think I don’t
Sometimes I find you doubt my love for you
But I don’t mind
Why should I mind, Why should I mind

What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway

Can anybody love anyone so much that they will never fear
Never worry never be sad
The answer is they cannot love this much nobody can
This is why I don’t mind you doubting

What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway

And maybe love is letting people be just what they want to be
The door always must be left unlocked
To love when circumstance may lead someone away from you
And not to spend the time just doubting

What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway
What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway

What is love anyway, does anybody
Love anybody anyway

LADY, LADY, LADY (FLASHDANCE, 1983)

“I don't want you buying me anything. I don't want you buying me, period!” – Alex Owens

The love theme of Flashdance, Lady Lady Lady sung by Joe Esposito plays well during the course of the film when Alex Owens (the ageless Jennifer Beals) is falling for Nick Hurley (Michael Nouri) while helping her realized her dream to be a profesional dancer. One of the great dance movies in the '80's that still holds up well.


LADY, LADY, LADY
sung by: Joe Esposito

Frightened by a dream, you're not the only one

Running like the wind, thoughts can come undone

Dancing behind masks, just sort of pantomime

But images reveal whatever lonely hearts can hide

Lady, lady, lady, lady, don't walk this lonely avenue

Lady, lady, lady, lady, let me touch that part of you, you want me to

Lady, lady, lady, lady, I know it's in your heart to stay

Lady, lady, lady, lady, when will I ever hear you say, I love you

Time like silent stares, with no apology

Move towards the stars, and be my only one

Reach into the light, and feel love's gravity

That pulls you to my side, where you should always be

Lady, lady, lady, lady, don't walk this lonely avenue

Lady, lady, lady, lady, let me touch that part of you, you want me to

Lady, lady, lady, lady, I know it's in your heart to stay

Lady, lady, lady, lady...

I CAN WAIT FOREVER (GHOSTBUSTERS, 1984)

“Ray, if someone asks if you are a god, you say, ‘yes!’”

– Winston Zeddmore

‘80’s blockbuster family fare is about a group of parapsychology profs/scientists stumbled upon an idea on how to 'bust' ghosts and other otherwordly beings. So came an agency called Ghostbusters. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson star as Drs. Venkman, Stantz, Spengler and Zeddmore. The song I Can Wait Forever by Air Supply, though barely audible in the movie stands as one of the entries in the film's soundtrack.


I CAN WAIT FOREVER

sung by: Air Supply

When you say, I miss the things you do

I just wanna get back close again to you

But for now, your voice is near enough

How I miss you, when I miss you, love

And though, all the days that pass me by so slow

All the emptiness inside me flows, all around

And there's no way out I'm just thinkin' so much of you

There was never any doubt

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too

I can wait forever, if you will

I know it's worth it all

To spend my life alone with you

When it looked, as though my life was wrong

You took my love and gave it somewhere to belong

I'll be here, when hope is out of sight

I just wish that I was next to you tonight

And oh I'll be reachin' for you even though

You'll be somewhere else, my love will go

Like a bird, on it's way back home

I could never let you go, and I just want you to know

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too

I can wait forever, if you will, I know it's worth it all

To spend my life alone with you

Where are you know?

Alone, with the thoughts we share

Keep them strong somehow

And you know, I'll always be there

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too

I can wait, forever if you will

I know it's worth it all

To spend my life alone

I can wait forever, if you say you'll be there, too

I can wait, forever if you will

I can wait forever or more

I can wait forever

TAKE ME, I’LL FOLLOW (MAC & ME, 1988)

“Eric's new in the neighborhood. Mac's new on the planet.” - tagline

Very much wanting in charm, Mac And Me follows the same route as the famous extraterrestrial did. It’s been noted in news before the said movie is just a marketing campaign to promote the famous hamburger chain. The saving grace in the movie doesn’t happened only until the ending credits, the wonderful theme Take Me, I’ll Follow sung by Bobby Caldwell.


TAKE ME, I’LL FOLLOW
sung by: Bobby Caldwell

Tired of feeling all by myself
Being so different

From everyone else

Somehow you knew

I needed your help

Be my friend forever

I never found

My star in the night

Feeling my dream was

Far from my sight

You came along and

I saw the light

We'll be friends forever

I can't face the thought of you leaving

So take me along

I swear I'll be strong

If you take me

Wherever you go

I wanna learn the things that you know

Now that you made me believe

I want you to take me

'Cause I long to be

Able to see the things that you see

Know that whatever you do

I'll follow you

Somebody must have

Sent you to me

What do I have

You could possibly need

All I can give is my guarantee

We'll be friends forever

I can't face the thought of you leaving
So take me along

I swear I'll be strong
When you take me
Wherever you go
I wanna learn the things that you know
Now that you made me believe
I want you to take me
'Cause I long to be
Able to see the things that you see
Know that whatever you do
I'll follow you

Teach me more in

Each passing hour

By your side I know I will cower

Is it true that you have the power

To capture this moment in time

Take me wherever you go

I wanna learn the things that you know

Now that you made me believe

I want you to take me

'Cause I long to be

Able to see the things that you see

Know that whatever you do

I'll follow you

I can't face the thought of you leaving

So take me alongI swear I'll be strong

If you take me

Wherever you go

I wanna learn the things that you know

Now that you made me believe

I want you to take me

'Cause I long to be

Able to see the things that you see

Know that whatever you do

I'll follow you...

JUST FOR A MOMENT (ST. ELMO’S FIRE, 1985)

“Jules, y'know, honey... this isn't real. You know what it is? It's St. Elmo's Fire. Electric flashes of light that appear in dark skies out of nowhere. Sailors would guide entire journeys by it, but the joke was on them... there was no fire. There wasn't even a St. Elmo. They made it up. They made it up because they thought they needed it to keep them going when times got tough, just like you're making up all of this. We're all going through this. It's our time at the edge.” - Billy

It was never heard in the actual film yet it was one of the most recognizable theme from a movie, David Foster composed and sung the theme Just For A Moment from the ‘80’s St. Elmo’s Fire. The opening score in the movie opens the door to the group of friends struggling with adulthood.


JUST FOR A MOMENT
(LOVE THEME FROM ST. ELMO'S FIRE)
sung by: David Foster

We laughed until we had to cry
And we loved right down to our last goodbye
We were the best
I think we’ll ever be
Just you and me
For just a moment.

We chased that dream we never found
And sometimes we let one another down
But the love we make
Make everything alright
We shone bright
For just a moment

Time goes on
People touch and they’re gone
Then you and I will never love again
Like we today

Someday, when we both reminisce
We’ll both say, there wasn’t too much we missed
And through the tears
We smile when we recall
We had it all
For just a moment

Time goes on
People touch and they’re gone
But you and I would never really end
We’ll never love again
Like we today

We laughed until we had to cry
And we loved right down to our last goodbye

Sheena Easton, one of the leading pop icon 0f the ‘80’s sung the catchy So Far, So Good.


SO FAR SO GOOD
sung by: Sheena Easton

No way of knowin' where we're goin'

No way of tellin' what we've got

Love is attraction, calls for action like it or not

We're no one-nighter, we're much righter

I taste tomorrow in your kiss

But I can't sell you, I won't tell you

That we can't miss, I'll just say this

So far so good

We've been movin' right along just like we should

So far so good

If it isn't love it's still in the neighborhood

Knock on wood baby, so far so good

I tell you one thing, we got something

Somethin' that's comin' from the heart

If we don't know it

I just know it could be a start

You take your chances with romances

Nobody gets a guarantee

We're much better than

I ever thought we could be

So let's just see

So far so good

We've been movin' right along just like we should

So far so good

If it isn't love it's still in the neighborhood

Knock on wood baby, so far so good

I'm not pullin' any punches

I'm not handin' you a line

I'm just telling you my hunch

Is all we need is a touch more time

I had a dream

I had an awesome dream

People in the park

Playing games in the dark

And what they played

Was a masquerade

From behind the walls of doubt

A voice was crying out

Say you, say me

Say it for always

That's the way it should be

Say you, say me

Say it together

Naturally

As we go down life’s lonesome highway

Seems the hardest thing to do

Is to find a friend or two

Is to find the that helping hand

Someone who understands

When you feel you lost your way

You've got someone there to say

I'll show you

Say you, say me

Say it for always

That's the way it should be

Say you, say me

Say it together

Naturally

So you think you know the answers

Oh, no

Well, the whole world’s got you dancing, that’s right

I’m telling you

It’s time to start believe, oh yes

Believe in who you are

You are a shining star

Say you, say me

Say it for always

That's the way it should be

Say you, say me

Say it together

Naturally

Say it together

PAPA, CAN YOU HEAR ME?
Sung by: Barbra Streisand

PRAYER:

God - our heavenly Father

Oh, God - and my father

Who is also in heaven

May the light

Of this flickering candle

Illuminate the night the way

Your spirit illuminates my soul

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you see me?

Papa, can you find me in the night?

Papa, are you near me?

Papa, can you hear me?

Papa, can you help me not be frightened?

Looking at the skies

I seem to see a million eyes

Which ones are yours?

Where are you now that yesterday

Has waved goodbye

And closed its doors?

The night is so much darker

The wind is so much colder

The world I see is so much bigger now that I'm alone

Papa, please forgive me

Try to understand me

Papa, don't you know I had no choice?

Can you hear me praying

Anything I'm saying

Even though the night is filled with voices?

I remember ev'rything you taught me

Ev'ry book I've ever read

Can all the words in all the books

Help me to face what lies ahead?

The trees are so much taller

And I feel so much smaller

The moon is twice as lonely

And the stars are half as bright

Papa, how I love you

Papa, how I need you

Papa, how I miss you

Kissing me goodnight

MEET ME HALFWAY (OVER THE TOP, 1987)

“The world meets nobody halfway. When you want something,

you gotta take it.” – Lincoln Hawk

Resting his boxing gloves for a while, Sylvester Stallone takes another form of sport thru arm wrestling. In the movie Over The Top, he plays Lincoln Hawk, a trucker who longs to be with his estranged son again. Kenny Loggins' Meet Me Halfway was heard during one of the memorable scenes in the movie.


MEET ME HALFWAY
sung by: Kenny Loggins

In a lifetime

Made of memories

I believe

In destiny

Every moment returns again in time

When I've got the future on my mind

Know that you'll be the only one

Meet me halfway

Across the sky

Out where the world belongs

To only you and I

Meet me halfway

Across the sky

Make this a new beginning of another life

In a lifetime

There is only love

Reaching for the lonely one

We are stronger when we are given love

When we put emotions on the line

Know that we are the timeless ones

Meet me halfway

Across the sky

Out where the world belongs

To only you and I

Meet me halfway

Across the sky

Make this a new beginning of another life

(INSTRUMENTAL)

Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Out where the world belongsto only you and I
Meet me halfway
Across the sky
Make this a new beginning of another life..

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME (URBAN COWBOY, 1980)

"You know Bud; sometimes even a cowboy's gotta swallow his pride to hold on to somebody he loves." - Uncle Bob

Aside from Grease and Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta was also known in the film Urban Cowboy as Bud, a country boy who moves to the city to see his uncle and meets a country girl named Sissy (Debra Winger). They eventually married until a man named Wes (Scott Glenn) comes between them. The film is made fanous for the mechanical bull scene. Boz Scaggs sung one of his signature songs in the film.

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME

sung by: Boz Scaggs

Hope they never end this song

This could take us all night long

I looked at the moon and I felt blue

Then I looked again and I saw you

Eyes like fire in the night

Bridges burning with their light

Now I want to spend the whole night through

And Honey, Yes, I'd like to spend it all on you

Love, look what you've done to me

Never thought I'd fall again so easily

Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me

Leading me to feel this way

They might fade and turn to stone

Let's get crazy all alone

Hold me closer than you'd ever dare

Close your eyes and I'll be there

After all is said and done

After all you are the one

Take me up your stairs and through the door

Take me where we don't care anymore

Love, look what you've done to me

Never thought I'd fall again so easily

Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me ...would you

Leading me to feel this way

Love, look what you've done to me

Never thought I'd fall again so easily

Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me

Leading me to feel this way...

IT’S CHRISTMAS ALL OVER THE WORLD (SANTA CLAUS THE MOVIE, 1985)

“Now, all those within the sound of my voice, and all those on this Earth everywhere know that henceworth you will be called Santa Claus.” – Ancient Elf

A well-meaning film about the story of one of the most famous figures during the holiday season. Santa Claus The Movie begins with how Santa (David Huddleston) came to be, to meeting a scoundrel who doesn't know anything about the true meaning of Christmas; to helping an elf named Patch (Dudley Moore). It’s a perfect family viewing during Christmas. ‘80’s icon Sheena Easton sung the popular theme from the movie, Christmas All Over The World. A personal favorite.


IT’S CHRISTMAS ALL OVER THE WORLD
sung by: Sheena Easton

All my life, I tried to do what's right

First star I see tonight, make my wish come true

Why can't we, join hands around one tree

Let live and let it be

Make Christmas last forever

When Santa's flying in his magic sleigh

Goes all around the world in just a day

From the North Pole to the southern tip

He makes his trip with love to give away

Here him say....

It's Christmas...all over the world tonight

It's Christmas...all over the world

All my life, I learned if I was good

Did everything I should

My dreams would all come true

I can see, a special time when we

Join hands around one tree

And make Christmas last forever

When Santa's flying in his magic sleigh

Goes all around the world in just a day

From the North Pole to the southern tip

He makes his trip with love to give away

Here him say....

It's Christmas...all over the world tonight

(all over the world)

It's Christmas...all over the world

It's Christmas...all over the world tonight

(all over the world)

It's Christmas...all over the world…

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

LET THE RIVER RUN (WORKING GIRL, 1988)

"For anyone who's ever won. For anyone who's ever lost. And for everyone who's still in there trying." - tagline

Ranking as one of the most entertaining and intelligent films of all time, Mike Nichols' Working Girl is a winner by all means. Great storyline, inspired performances and a knockout soundtrack. It's a story of one woman's dream to be the best. Legendary Carly Simon sung the iconic theme Let The River Run for the film. The song deservedly won at the Oscars and at the Golden Globe for best original song as well the Grammys Best Song Written Specifically for a Motion Picture or for Television. It's a winner by all means.

LET THE RIVER RUN

sung by: Carly Simon

We're coming to the edge

Running on the water

Coming through the fog

Your sons and daughters

Let the river run

Let all the dreamers

Wake the nation

Come, the new Jerusalem

Silver cities rise

The morning lights

The streets that meet them

And sirens call them onwith a song

It's asking for the taking

Trembling, shaking

Oh, my heart is aching

We're coming to the edge

Running on the water

Coming through the fog

Your sons and daughters

We the great and small

Stand on a star

And blaze a trail of desire

Through the dark'ning dawn

It's asking for the taking

Come run with me now

The sky is the color of blue

You've never even seen

In the eyes of your lover

Oh, my heart is aching

We're coming to the edge

Running on the water

Coming through the fog

Your sons and daughters

It's asking for the taking

Trembling, shaking

Oh, my heart is aching

We're coming to the edge

Running on the water

Coming through the fog

Your sons and daughters

Let the river run

Let all the dreamers

Wake the nation

Come, the new Jerusalem
