@AdidasCollection Funny... Barishnikoff didn't seem to have a problem with doing such a scene.Maybe it's because HE KNEW IT WAS A JOKE!!

@cantstopfishing Oh man, I hope they don't zero-level it in the mixing... That tends to ruin good songs.

@randy0987 Yes, it was a Lancia,,, Not the more desirable Scorpion, like used in "Herbie Goes To Monte-Carlo", but still a Lancia. And probably completely rusted-away by now, like many lower-price cars from that era & area of origin did, sadly....

@hamletms True, it wasn't that good... But, it had it's moments.And having saw it twice now... in the past few years... I can see now why the promotion campaign included a full-page ad in Boys-Life Magazine. Probably would have never noticed it, or even bothered to see it otherwise all these years later, when I'm able to appreciate the nature of it's nuances & humor.

@ladyamerias I just bootlegged a copy from on-demand programming via DVD-recorder awhile back... Made good viewing while waiting on a friend's doctor appointment on my porta-player!

@lespaul667 This explains alot... Like, why the theme for certain scenes was a slow, instrumental wood-&-brass combo cover of it.

@epsteinsmutha1 Your right, it's the B side of the Sports Fans 7 inch German pressing on Capitol 1C006-86 487. I'm a happy owner of a copy.
