SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:46 Min.
Initially released as the theme song for 1988’s License to Drive film starring Corey Haim & Corey Feldman, it has resurfaced as one of Billy Ocean’s greatest hits/best-of tunes. As a familiar Late-80’s radio hit, the song appears on the Billboard Top Hits: 1988 album. Of note is that Ocean and fellow hit-maker Robert John “Mutt” Lange co-wrote the song.
REVIEW:
Much like he did a few years earlier with the catchy “When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going,” Ocean strikes again with more up-tempo soundtrack magic. Though the lyrics treat women as glorified eye candy, this exuberant pop tune still thrives by surfing off Ocean’s charisma and flawless background instrumentals. For soundtrack and road trip playlists, this engaging tune earns its consideration as a potential download.
