    Fun fact: You're the Best Around was written by the same person as the Neutron Dance from the Beverly Hills Cop OST.

    <p>Didn't know that, but just looked her up on Wiki and apparently she did the theme song from Friends too. I should have known who Allee Willis is because she appears to be an icon of three of my favourite guilty pleasures: 70s funk, cheesy 80s movie themes and 90s sitcoms.</p>

    <p>I remember doing the title track in music class at school. twenty something xylophones all in "unison" and every bit as horrific as you'd imagine.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Ha, good old Joe Esposito, shame he didn't come back for the second one cos that cheesefest from Peter Cetera didn't inspire me to learn Karate like the original did.</p>

    <p><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2400463/?ref_=tt_rec_tt'><em>The Invitation</em></a>.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Pretty good, suspenseful, "locked room" thriller. When John Carroll Lynch showed up you knew that sinister plots were afoot!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>7/10</p>

    <p>BTW, the song writer/producer who connects all these soundtrack hits we're discussing is Keith Forsey.</p>

    <p>Yeah, I was reading about these songs the other day, and his name kept coming up, and up, and up. Must have made a mint from royalties.</p>

    <p>In the words of JD Ryznar, he's a "hit machine with the soul of a rocker."</p>

    <p>The "true song fact" that really blows my mind is that <em>What's love got to do with it</em> was originally written for Cliff Richard.</p>

    <p>However he is also the guy that ruined two really good bands (Simnple Minds and Psychedelic Furs) with shit songs, wrote for Kajagoogoo and (as the real pointer as to why Tim knows all about him) contributed to this album</p>
