“Waking Up” and “I Hope We Never Change” are good songs too, and unlike “Far From Over” they don't sound like they've been pumped with audio steroids. Stallone's kicking the Bee Gees' asses on this soundtrack.

Yes! That was my introduction to the song back in 1985, and I'll never be able to hear it without thinking of Short saying “I'm not a very strong swimmer” or Christopher Guest doing the prototype for Corky St. Clair as the swimmers' dancing instructor (”Hey, you, I know you, I know you– no, you're not mad at him, you're just pointing at him.”).

I will still be your friend. Early John Travolta flicks are genius! He kind of scares me now though…..

I love that groovy promo still taken in a strange parallel universe in which John Travolta auditioned for the lead role in Conan The Barbarian.

It is indeed pure genius. I'm a huge Bee Gees fan, but although I know “The Woman In You” was their big hit off the soundtrack, I think I actually prefer listening to Frank Stallone's “Far From Over.” Blasphemy, perhaps, but it's the truth.
