Eddy Grant - Romancing the Stone

[djdavemick]

In a perfect world, this song should have been huge, if not huger than Electric Avenue. This song died WAAAYYYYY too fast midway through the summer '84.

I love how Eddy Grant dressed up like Jack T Colton, and the knife turns into the guitar. To all that love this movie God Bless.

[tifjoking]

I love this song! Eddy Grant had some great music!

Michael Douglas rulz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MetallicBill]

Michael Douglas produced the first film, Robert Zemeckis directed, I can't imagine why they distanced the song from the film, ultimately. I taped the video when the scenes were in the clip, so I didn't know anything about any controversy, to be honest. Alan Silvestri credited with the score, Dean Cundey (RIP) the cinematography

@MetallicBill - Just wanted you to know that Dean Cundey is alive and well!

[MetallicBill]

@ChrisBDinomite I was thinking of someone else, who was a cinematographer and passed away. However, a lot of great actors and professionals did die in recent years. The Show Must Go on.

it is one one the best movies ever. michael douglas is sooo fucked up, however one fine actor. kathleen turner is FABULOUS!

this song is truly awesome!

[asikosha]

that could be the best song for this movie. Eddy is a great musician and seems a really nice person!

[FPilotBierce]

There was a snippet of this song in the scene at the marijuana baron's mansion, but that was the only place it was in the movie. They could have had it on the end credits, but it wasn't appropriate for the opening. But Eddy was really angry at the movie company for shorting out his thunder--even though the song was a radio hit and sold records. I still have my 45!

[MetallicBill]

Also on Friday Night Videos, the NBC version of MTV for a while...miss that most! I just got the LaserDisc of it, and I noted the credits...COULD have faded into it, actually

[interstate15]

Edyy grant rules. non alcholic beverage lol

[stripclubgaragesale]

@interstate15 agreed

[cali42716]

I like very much. Love the beat and voice. Could dance all night to this song. Good clean music.

My distinct pleasure in being the first to post. Been wondering about this one whenever I see the movie on the grid. I saw it once back in the day before the song was cut from the soundtrack(legal issues? politics?) and the video reconceived. Thanks.
