VOTD: Kenny Loggins Does Theme Songs To ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn,’ ‘The Hunger Games,’ ‘Real Steel’ And More
In the 1980s,Kenny Logginswas the king of the movie soundtrack. The soft rocker did the theme songs toTop Gun(Danger Zone),Caddyshack(I’m Alright),Footloose(Footloose) and more over a few short years in addition to being a very successful solo and group artist. To this day, those songs both help and hinder the career of Loggins and in a two newFunny or Dievideos, he embraces their legacy.
After the jump, watch Loggins and his new band Blue Sky Riders performing theme songs toThe Help, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Real Steel, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, The Hunger Gamesand two forThe Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. With a little help fromPaul Scheerof course.
Thanks toFunny or Diefor these videos. In this first video you’ll seeThe Help, The Girl With The Dragon TattooandTransformers: Dark of the Moon.
The second video hasReal Steel, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1, The Hunger Gamesand another forThe Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
I think my favorite of all of them is the finalDragon Tattoosong. It’s so perfect.
Loggins is more than likely sick of the songs that made him so famous but I applaud him for letting the Funny or Die people poke a little fun at them. The whole thing is just an elaborate marketing scam for the newFootloosebut, still, I prefer this kind of marketing to short clips and posters. I might actually go see the film now if they’re targeting people who’d find this funny. I certainly did.
