Why, it sounds like that's a BAD thing! Michael 15:07, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two videos?

I've seen a video online that had only Bonnie Tyler and no scenes from the film. But it seems to me there was another one that had movie scenes? What I remember is a video that may have included scenes of Ren dancing all over the warehouse; am I confusing two videos? Lawikitejana 17:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stark Raving Love

Jim Steinman's song sounds a lot like this song (the same background vocalizations and the general melody of the intro and chorus), and he wrote both. Does anyone know which was composed first? Due to the similarity, that should probably be mentioned. 12.162.122.5 (talk) 14:28, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Holding Out For A Hero" vs. "I Need A Hero"

I've seen both titles used for this song. Which one is the correct one, and how did the other one get confused as the title? Or are they BOTH the right title? Someone please clear this up? Darkpower (talk) 09:32, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Footloose Movie

The song was on the soundtrack of the 1984 movie Footloose and the 2011 remake of the movie with the same title. in the soundtrack for the remake the song was sung by Ella Mae Bowen - yet there is no mention of that version. Wfoj3 (talk) 20:36, 13 January 2018 (UTC) back - good to see mentioned now. Wfoj3 (talk) 16:55, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Was also used for the bruce willis, kate blanchett, billy bob thornton bank robber movie "Bandits" which was an incredibly good movie! Absolutely hilarious, wildly underrated. 2600:8803:7B04:AC00:9528:6FBC:CBA1:7E90 (talk) 22:00, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Detective Pikachu version?

A version of this song was used in the Detective Pikachu movie. I don’t know exactly how to write that in, but it should be there. WesleyPacella (talk) 03:29, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

From the top of my head, it’s also been used in Shrek 2 and Short Circuit. It was also in the video game Saints Row 3. Might be worth having a segment to highlight usage in media. 81.78.208.234 (talk) 19:43, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

More precise release date?

Has anyone been able to find a more precise release date for this song? Footloose premiered in the US on Feb 17, 1984, but then iTunes says the Footloose soundtrack released Jan 31, 1984. Is it wrong to assume that Jan 31 is the correct date that this song was released? Ianbogue (talk) 07:45, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
