Whether it's the background music to a game of chicken on two tractors (Footloose) or a robot rolling down a NYC dock (Short Circuit 2), this is such a great song. The video for the song is super cheesy, but it'll be OK. Tyler's voice and the main drive of the song make up for it. Those piano licks are perfect for this 80's cheese fest.
I really love this song and what it's about. It's basically a song about how there aren't any real heroes around anymore. It's definitely a precursor to songs like "Where Have all the Cowboys Gone". The eighties synth sounds (especially the drums) are so bad, but that's what makes this song an eighties tune. I can't help but like it. A lot of others agreed, which put it up to the #34 spot on the Hot 100 in 1984.
