本日は、８０年代に封切りされ、ヒットした映画に使用されたスクリーンミュージックをお送りしたい。今日は特別に8曲どうぞ！
Foot Loose ｂｙ Kenny Loggings
Been working so hard
I punch in my card
Eight hours, for what?
Now tell me what I got
I get this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Now I gotta cut
Loose, footloose
Kick off my Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me offa my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon before we crack
Lose your blues
Come on and get footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
You're burning, yearning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
now you gotta cut
Ghost Busters ｂｙ Ray Parker Jr.
(Ghostbusters)
If there's something strange
In your neighborhood
Who you gonna call? (Ghostbusters)
If there's something weird
And it don't look good
Who you gonna call? (Ghostbusters)
I ain't afraid of no ghost
I ain't afraid of no ghost
If you're seeing things
Running through your head
Who can you call? (Ghostbusters)
An invisible man
Sleepin in your bed
Oh, who you gonna call? (Ghostbusters)
I ain't afraid of no ghost
I ain't afraid of no ghost
Who you gonna call? (Ghostbusters)
If you're all alone
Pick up the phone and call (Ghostbusters)
I ain't 'fraid of no ghost
I hear it likes the girls
I ain't 'fraid of no ghost
Unchained Melody ｂｙ Righteous Brothers
Oh my love
My darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long lonely time
And time goes by
So slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow
To the sea,to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home wait for me
日本名「ニューヨークの幻」
What A Feeling (Flash Dance) ｂｙ IRENE CARA
First, when there’s nothing but a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind
All alone I have cried silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel, made of stone
Well I hear the music, close my eyes, feel the rhythm
Wrap around, take a hold of my heart
[Chorus:]
What a feeling, bein’s believin’
I can’t have it all, now I’m dancin’ for my life
Take your passion, and make it happen
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life
[Solo]
Now I hear the music, close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash it takes hold of my heart
[chorus (with ... "now I'm dancing through my life")]
What a feeling
What a feeling (I am music now), bein’s believin’ (I am rhythm now)
Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life
What a feeling (I can really have it all)
What a feeling (Pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all (I can really have it all)
Have it all (Pictures come alive when I call)
(call, call, call, call, what a feeling) I can have it all
(Bein’s believin’) bein’s believin’
(Take your passion, make it happen) make it happen
(What a feeling) what a feeling… [to fade]
Highway to the Danger Zone ｂｙ Kenny Loggins
Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go
Highway to the Danger Zone
Ride into the Danger Zone
Headin' into twilight
Speadin' out her wings tonight
She got your jumpin' off the deck
And shovin' into overdrive
Highway to the Danger Zone
I'll take you
Right into the Danger Zone
You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go
Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity
Highway to the Danger Zone
Gonna take you
Right into the Danger Zone

Eye of The Tiger ｂｙ Surviver
Risin' up back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
(Chorus)
It's the Eye of the Tiger
It's the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the Eye of the Tiger
Staying Alive ｂｙ John Travolta

Over Night Success
SonyのカセットテープのCMでもおなじみだった。

さて、今日は１９８０年代に封切りされた話題作映画の中で、主題歌や挿入歌が爆発的ヒットを飾ったスクリーンミュージックを特集でお送りした。邦画にはないスケールの大きさと、愛情表現や躍動感は見ごたえがあった。いずれも一人の人間の生き方にスポットを当て、成功して栄冠を掴むようなサクセスストーリーが多い。何か時代背景からしてシンボリックな存在を待望していたような気がする。物資的な豊かな時代にあって、メンタル面での自由を目一杯表現しようともがいていた、そんな時代観だった。２１世紀の今の時代に、同じ内容で作れと言っても無理だろう。当時の世相や思想と相まってこのような作風が誕生したからである。それだけに貴重な映像だと思っている。
