There are actually 2 other nice music tracks from this video - the one played during the "great goals" is "New Sensation" by INXS, and the other , the synth piece played during "nice saves" I've never been able to identify.....anyone know it?
FYI - these instrumentals were recorded by session musicians for a library music company (and imo, their musicianship is superior to the original bands).
Library music was recorded for & specifically licensed to film & television companies.
in conclusion for me im a old time hockey lover from the 80's and if i was alive during the 70's im sure i would of loved it too,but i like the rockem sockem hits,the trolly track hits not the ulf sam knee to knee hits and who ever else does it, now they want to clean up the game sure go ahead but if your going to do that do it right,well me and my friend came with a good idea if your going to change the game adopt the iihf rules which includes no touch icing andmore strictrules on head shots
everyone is on this bandwagon saying the game is in poor shape maybe id agree, but i have one question, how is it twenty years ago hits like this was accepted but now its not. so i have one conclusion the people ,the fans r listening to the league and the media way to much and this includes don cherry. they didnt care until the league and media started crying foul and saying all this shit about rule changes and the instagator rule, and we have to bring the scoring up now and etc,etc,
Did anyone else notice that Wendel Clark seems to either leave his feet when he hits or ends up on the ice with his hits taking him out of the play as well? I personally love the hit he tries on Messier. Leaves his feet lands on his face while the MOOSE is still standing. Wendel Clark is one of the most overrated players I have ever seen. Yeah he could do it all. hit,score, & fight. But he wasn't even a point a game player. He was above average on a mediocre team.
Watch at 0:26. Most hockey fans who frequent YouTube will know Wendel Clark was damn solid on his skates, but he went down when he ran into Messier. Most of what people have seen of Messier is what he did as a Ranger when he was older, but this hit by Clark should tell you all you need to know about why people always cringed at the sight of Messier when he was an Oiler. As fierce as anyone who ever played the game. Probably as dirty as anyone too, lol.
Does anyone know of the very popular 80s dance song that is played in this video (and is still played in clubs now) that is played during the "Awesome Saves" part? The song starts off with a horn tooting and it is sung by a male and female duet and is a typical 80s synth dance song for clubs. Any information about that song would be greatly appreciated.
I know this one is "Obsession" by Animotion. There is another 80s new wave song in this video which features another male/female duet (still very popular nowadays at some clubs).
YEAH!!! The original Rock Em Sock Em!! Used to watch this before each minor league game I played lol!! Love the synth in the song... DOOT!! DOO-DOO-DOO-DOOT!!
Always loved the hit on Iafrate

Okay this is one my try.
I know that the popular songs played in this volume are:
"Obsession" - Animotion
"Venus" - Bananarama
"Would I Lie To You?" - Eurythmics
But there is still one more very popular 80s synth song in this volume. Can someone tell me the name or the band???

"Sit back and enjoy" says Booby The Brain Cherry. What a joke he is. Now he rails on Matt Cooke for the same hits as in this little video of his.
