Donna Summer-Foxes-On The Radio

[DA90027]

Donna Summer should have recorded a ballad version of this it is actually a much prettier song when done as a slow version.

[kevin26a]

how come the version with these vocals has never been released

[seanr456]

Such a cheery, uplifting song. Too bad the movie ends with a philosophical musing on the virtues of cannibalism.

[jhillst]

@seanr456  I never saw it that way. I always saw it as a beautiful statement on the continutation of life after death. It's one of my favorite movie quotes ever.

[foxxyloxx]

Can you please upload the whole movie? I'm dying to see it & can't find it anywhere. That would be truly awesome. <3

The seventies made such realistic movies, especially teenage dramas like Foxes. On The Radio blends in very well with the storyline too.

Does Anyone Here Know What Jeanie's (Jodie Foster) And Brad's (Scott Baio) Last Names Were In The Movie ? Need This For A Retrospective Article I'm Writing ! Thanks !

[HawaiiSurfer2007]

This was thee cool teenie boppers rebellious movie of the time. I saw it at the theater with friends. I taped the newspaper movie ad to my bedroom wall. I drove my Mom up the wall watching this movie on HBO dozens of times.

[boynamedbrandon]

this song and movie describes the way i feel inside in such a nostalgic way.

[atSummersEnd]

Man, this movie captures the feeling of the times, back then.

The vibe it gives off, is just priceless.

Miss those days. Oh how simple, it all seems now. (:

[kiowahoneylynn]

Yeah! this is how it was back in the day. You could go to a concert and not have to go through the metal detectors and it seemed like you knew everyone there. The music was great, a felling I wish I could recapture maybe it was just youth.

RIP My Buddy Tracy <3

[MsJune54]

LOVE this song, especially the instrumental version. can't find it anywhere, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this video!!!!!

[Summer4All]

Yes it is Donna Singing. If you listen to Whispering waves than you Know that Donna is the Woman of the thousand Voices :-D pauLo

[lamccaugh]

Was that really Donna Summer singing this version? Donna has more of alto type singing voice not soprano

[lrewopf]

Take me back to the 70's.......please?

[Oghar999]

I tubed for this song, after dropping into the start of this movie just now. It's on On Demand, I'll see if I can record it and upload a better quality version

[spartyutube]

Thanks for posting- I've been looking for this FOREVER!

[egoriskarma]

i cry everytime i watch this clip. i stumbled upon this watching the movie. Sigh, Girgio Morodor is a genius. This song and movie really balance each other well. I wish that I could give ten stars for this clip. Thank you so much for posting this.

[leiefilm]

this movie is great odd i hasn't gotten more atention.considering jodie foster and randy quaid is in it.

and that they filmed in an actually consert

[emayl]

great song.. and great movie, it's been 10 years since i watch it for the first time... no other song was more right and the first piano's notes when the movie starts are the sweetest thing I've never heard

[summerholliday44]

I love those opening chords too! If i play and rewind those bars more than 4 times i'll want to cry.....~

[emayl]

;-)

[egoriskarma]

I have been doing an experiment. For the last three days I listen to this clip and w/out fail I cry. The way you edited this just struck the right chord, showing how one song can be woven into a movie and not have the song exhausted.

[Sox575]

I loved this movie and the slow version of "On The Radio." It worked beautifully and the end was just gut-wrenching as the song just washed over everything! Nice editing, Summerholliday44.

Does anyone know if the actual soundtrack of "Foxes" contained different versions of "On The Radio" or was it like the version on Summer's On The Radio Grtst Hits LP?

[summerholliday44]

.......no, there is no existing recording of the "movie version" of on the radio...except the movie.

[Sox575]

Thanks for the info Summerholiday44. :)

[Freeflyur]

No. You're wrong. The Foxes soundtrack was issued by Casblanca records with these tracks: Donna Summer: "On the Radio" (Extended soundtrack mix) Janis Ian: "Fly Too High" Brooklyn Dreams: "Shake It" Cher: "Bad Love" Giorgio Moroder: "Valley Of the Dolls Angel: "20th Century Foxes" Keith Forsey: "Greedy Man" Angel: "Virginia" Giorgio Moroder: "On the Radio" (Instrumental) Giorgio Moroder: "Hollywood Dreams" Giorgio Moroder: "Fly Too High" Giorgio Moroder: "Valley Of the Dolls"

[summerholliday44]

not THE MOVIE version(which is a different recording...and different vocals, and a little different lyrics than the released version)

[Freeflyur]

yeah it did.

[Sox575]

Thanks Freeflyur. I hope someone re-releases the Foxes soundtrack on cd! :)

[rbcinmia]

Question if anyone knows. Why wasnt this movie nominated for an Acadamey award for best original song for a motion picture?

[alex90210bevhills]

Yes..!

It was nominated for best soundtrack song!!

Won Call me from Blondie!! in 1980

Is the first time that I see that and hear this On The Radio version of DoNNa The slow and the fast both great!

[krapug1]

This is actually a great movie about coming of age in this

particular time-span, with a so-cal bent.

On The Radio works seemlessly through the entire movie.
