Hello,
I watched the first Beverly Hills Cop with my son tonight. While watching that movie I realized that it came out 40 years ago this season. I told my son that this movie was when Eddie Murphy was the hottest comedian in the whole world. It still holds up pretty well, but as usual each sequel is a bit worse than the previous movie. I've seen the trailer for the fourth "Beverly Hills Cop" movie and it looks like it has some funny moments, but one of the bits was in the original "Beverly Hills Cop". It's amazing how many of these franchises are making appearances in 2024.
1984 likely was the best year for pop music of the 80s. The songs from that year's soundtracks were also pretty amazing. I'm starting with that first "Beverly Hills Cop" movie. These first five songs are from that movie.
These three songs are from "Footloose". 18) Mike Reno and Ann Wilson "Almost Paradise":
19) Sammy Hagar "The Girl Gets Around":
20) Shalamar "Dancing In The Sheets":
From one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, this song is in "Revenge of the Nerds". 21) Gleaming Spires "Are You Ready For The Sex Girls":
These next four songs are from "Stop Making Sense". All songs are by The Talking Heads. 22) "Psycho Killer":
23) "Burning Down The House":
24) "Girlfriend Is Better":
25) "Once In A Lifetime":
This song is from "Streets of Fire", an actual 80s movie I've never seen. 26) Dan Hartman "I Can Dream About You":
These next six songs are all from "Purple Rain" and from the genius of Prince. 27) "Baby, I'm A Star":
28) "Let's Go Crazy":
29) "Take Me With You":
30) "Beautiful Ones":
31) "When Doves Cry":
32) "I Would Die For You":
These next 6 songs are from "Breakin'". Two are on this blog entry and the other four songs are on Part 3 of this blog series. 33) Ollie and Jerry "There's No Stopping Us":
34) Hot Streak "Body Work":
