Most-honoured Girlfriend has created a fairly comprehensive playlist of montage music<\/a> from our favorite 80’s songs. Missing from my list is Would I Lie to You?<\/i> by Eurhythmics for One Crazy Summer<\/i> and an English Beat song from the running home scene of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off<\/i>. Clare has them on her list, but could not share since she purchased them via iTunes.<\/p>\n

My personal favorite is, of course, You’re the Best<\/i> by Joe Esposito from the end of The Karate Kid<\/i>. The lyrics I found online don’t do it justice apart from the awesome all-caps instrumental break:<\/p>\n

Try to be best
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcCause you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re only a man
\nAnd a man\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gotta learn to take it<\/p>\n

Try to believe
\nThough the going gets rough
\nThat you gotta hang tough to make it<\/p>\n

History repeats itself
\nTry and you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll succeed
\nNever doubt that you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the one
\nAnd you can have your dreams!<\/p>\n

You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the best!
\nAround!
\nNothing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gonna ever keep you down
\n(repeat)<\/p>\n

Fight \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctil the end
\nCause your life will depend
\nOn the strength that you have inside you<\/p>\n

Ah you gotta be proud
\nstarin\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 out in the cloud
\nWhen the odds in the game defy you<\/p>\n

Try your best to win them all
\nand one day time will tell
\nwhen you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the one that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s standing there
\nyou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll reach the final bell!<\/p>\n

You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the best!
\nAround!
\nNothing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gonna ever keep you down
\n(repeat)<\/p>\n

INSPIRING GUITAR SOLO<\/p>\n

You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the best!
\nAround!
\nNothing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gonna ever keep you down
\n(repeat)<\/p>\n

Fight \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctil you drop
\nnever stop
\ncan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give up
\nTil you reach the top (FIGHT!)
\nyou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the best in town (FIGHT!)
\nListen to that sound
\nA little bit of all you got
\nCan never bring you down<\/p>\n

You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the best!
\nAround!
\nNothing\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s gonna ever keep you down
