In 1986 this song rocketed to the top of the billboard charts. It also received a grammy nomination in 1987. Though perhaps it is most famous for being linked to 80s teen idol (and newest Dancing with the Stars sensation) Ralph Macchio.
Muzak Holdings LLC added a version of this tune to malls and elevators in the spring of ’88.

ReplyDeleteCan we just call it the best 80s Muzak ever?!! I think it wins :)
ReplyDeleteI had a knockdown, dragged out fight with a boy in first grade over the lyrics to this song.
ReplyDeleteYears later, I'm still the winner.
Great song. Radio, CD or muzak. All good.

For a second, I thought it was You're The Best by Joe Esposito. It's the only song I associate with Karate Kid. Imagine that playing in a mall.
