Some artists seem to translate to the big screen better than others. While artists like the Beatles and Michael Jackson do well on the radio and in the record store, artists like Huey Lewis and the News, Celine Dion, Elton John and Kenny Loggins have built careers on making movie soundtrack hits. Here are the top five most cinematic songs by Kenny Loggins, one of the kings of movie-music. You can see these classic songs performed live by purchasing Kenny Loggins tickets online.
5. "Nobody's Fool" - "Nobody's Fool" came out with Kenny's Back to Avalon album, which also included the song "Meet Me Halfway," which was a near miss for making this top five list. "Halfway" was, of course, the theme song for the Sylvester Stallone film Over the Top. "Nobody's Fool" won the spot at No. 5 because it was the theme song for Caddyshack II, which was arguably a better film than Over the Top, at least in terms of hilarity. While Caddyshack II tries to be funny and does a mediocre job of it, Over the Top tries to be serious but ends up being ironically funny.
4. "Playing with the Boys" - While it wasn't the theme song of the movie, you can't help but associate "Playing with the Boys" with Top Gun. You remember the scene, right? Maverick (played by Tom Cruise) gets asked out by the leggy flight instructor, but first he has to overcome Ice Man (Val Kilmer) and his gargantuan wing man on a sand volleyball court.
Kenny's song starts blaring over the montage of images of shirtless Tom, Val and company slapping an obscene amount of high fives and playing volleyball way too intensely. Even though Maverick checks his watch several times during the musical montage, he ends up arriving late for his date. Kenny's song was too good to pass up midway through.
3. "I'm Alright" - The theme song for Caddyshack makes No. 3 on the list. Widely considered one of the best sports-related movies of all time (up there with Bull Durham, Rocky, Raging Bull, Hoosiers and The Natural), Caddyshack opens up with "I'm Alright" blasting over the title and opening credits sequence while the famous gopher dances and wreaks havoc on the greens.
2."Danger Zone" - The mind immediately went to the image of a fighter jet piloted by Tom Cruise, when you read the words "Danger Zone," didn't it? "Danger Zone" was the theme song for Top Gun, and played during some of the movie's most intense aeronautical scenes.
1."Footloose" - While it was tempting to make "Danger Zone" Kenny Loggins' most cinematic song, "Footloose" wins because the song title became the name of the actual movie. What makes the song even more cinematic is that the word footloose never actually entered the script of the film. While the phrase "top gun" was all over the script of Top Gun, nobody ever actually said "footloose" in Footloose. Kevin Bacon's solo dance scene (the angry dance he performs in the abandoned factory) is actually to another song, "Never" by Moving Pictures, though most people associate it with "Footloose." |
