WE DON’T NEED ANOTHER HERO (BEYOND THUNDERDOME) {from 1986’s Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome} (by Tina Turner: Simply the Best)

SUMMARY:                                 RUNNING TIME: 4:16 Min.

Recording this pop-rock track for 1986’s Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome film starring Mel Gibson, Tina Turner also co-starred as its sultry villainess.  This tune appears on some ‘80’s miscellaneous collections, but its primary re-issuing remains Turner’s 1991 Simply the Best compilation album.  

REVIEW:

In a precursor to 1995’s Goldeneye, Tina Turner’s sultry vocal style infuses some magic to this earlier movie theme.  Briefly incorporating a back-up choir, Turner sounds very much on her game.  Unlike Goldeneye’s slickly-written verbiage, it falls on her to really sell these lyrics hinting at Thunderdome’s post-apocalyptic plot. 

She receives ample instrumental support, including some great saxophone work, getting the job done in style.  Accordingly, “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Beyond Thunderdome)” is a download option worth re-discovery.
