SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:29 Min.
Recorded by The Blasters, this track appears in the 1984 buddy action film/musical, Streets of Fire, starring Rick Moranis, Michael Paré, Diane Lane, & Willem Dafoe. The tune would subsequently resurface on 1998’s VH1: The Big 80’s – The Big Movies compilation album.
REVIEW:
As a hybrid of upbeat R&B and old school swing jazz, the obscure “One Bad Stud” generates a fun sound. In that sense, it ages amusingly well. Still, the tune doesn’t surpass similar efforts from The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, and/or Cherry Poppin’ Daddies.
