Movie themes made awkward





Ok, I hope the rest of the campers don't kill me for this, BUT I just have a huge soft spot for all things '80s and terrible and awesome, like this clip. Movie themes from two of my childhood favorites, The NeverEnding Story and Goonies as performed by Kids Incorporated. I love how that first kid over emotes the whole thing, it's uber talent showy. They don't make 'em like they used to! Singing "Goonies 'R' Good Enough" is Martika, who went on to have a few '80s hits later on, including "Toy Soldiers," great song! And keep an eye for 10-year old Fergie in the blue jumper. She's much better here than in last night's Music Awards or whatever event that was.

I remembered Kids Incorporated fondly, but watching clips on youtube, I don't recognize anything other than the intro. Anyone else watch this? It looks terrible! What was I thinking?! Bitching logo though...



I was thinking I might post the soundtracks to each film, but this might be better, and more interesting for others, a collection of remixes for each song! Who doesn't love a remix, right? Here we have a bunch of "Goonies 'R' Good Enough" mixes along with the original b-side, "What a Thrill." Thanks to Vinnie Rattolle for compiling the "Good Enough" mixes. Check out his site for many other Goonies goodies among other amazing shares. Also included with Limahl's "The NeverEnding Story" remixes is the rare French version of the song with additional vocals by Ann Calvert. I don't know who that is and I don't why I told you. And i don't really know how to pronounce "Limahl."

  1. If you pause it at 4:11 that chick looks just like Large Marge from PEE-WEE'S BIG ADVENTURE.
