Luke And Laura Rape Song


So when Margaret was talking to Richard, the song that Luke famously raped Laura to on General Hospital was playing.

Do you think this was done on purpose, or just a coincidence not thinking most people would realize that’s what it was? It’s so campy I feel like it was on purpose, but what do you think?

How do you remember that song? It was so long ago. I'm sure it was on purpose, they love those little callbacks to the era.

🤣 embarrassed to admit but about three years ago I was watching old clips from that era on YouTube

I mean, I’ve heard it in the grocery store before too and done a double take, so I know it could just be that it was a popular song back then in the late 70s early 80s, but I’m so curious.

Now I have to go look it up.

The Luke and Laura song was Come to Me by James Ingram....I don't think it was that song....I'll have to check.

No the one he raped her to

This one. About four minutes into the clip.

Oh, you're right, the James Ingram song was Luke and HOLLY.

So that's the famous Luke and Laura rape scene?

Anyway..the song is Rise by Herb Alpert and I never would've associated it with General Hospital or Luke and Laura.
How many people would even know..?

That’s what I’m wondering. I mean they are using a lot of campy things from that time period, which makes me wonder if it’s on purpose, because if anyone watched General Hospital during that time period they know that they played and replayed that scene to DEATH. For years during their love story. It got in your head. Then when they finally got married it was like some phenomenon, even people that didn’t watch soap opera’s were aware of it.

However if you were born in the mid to late 80s and never watched the show, you’d never know the difference. It just seemed like such a weird tacky and campy choice since everytime I hear that song I think of that scene LOL. And honestly I don’t hear it that often. It just seems like a very random and strange choice that seems far too random to be coincidental. However, it very well could be. I’ve not seen anyone else in the comment section for the show on Facebook mention it.

The song might have just been popular at the time too for all I know.

Ah well, doesn’t matter. If I hadn’t watched their storyline in the past few years I’d never have know

Every time I hear Rise, I think of Luke and Laura. I've been a GH viewer since 1980!
Old fogies like me would know 😂
