Name of song during 80s montage


So they head down to Key West and there's a delightful montage sequence - they're on mopeds, they're fishing, they're watching girls - during which a song plays. Question: name the song, the singer and if it is available on iTunes?

I haven't seen the movie in several years, but I think the song you are thinking of is Michael McDonald's "sweet freedom." It was pretty popular on the radio in summer 1986, I think it was a top 10 hit. You can check it out also at bn.com or other similar sites.

"Sweet Freedom" by Michael McDonald. One of my faves. They used to play the video on MTV all the time when MTV still played music videos.

At any rate, I have the song if you want it.... send me a PM and we'll talk.

Hey twh4,

Just thought you might like to know - this is the only post that doesn't mention Serenity, Joss Whedon or Buffy at some point. My guess is - he loves it, as he can't shut up about it. But, like the primry school pupil, he needs to yank the pigtails once in a while.

Hilarious though - there are pages and pages of posts - what a waste of time!!

I go online sometimes, but...everyone's spelling is really bad&it's...depressing.

It's called Running Scared, isn't it?

A great song to blow up speakers with. I did, you should too! After all "it goes to 11".
