Theme Song from “Joysticks” is Pure 1980s Magic

9Jul2008 Filed under: Movies, Music, Video Games, website Author: The Retroist

BrianDeuelDotCom has posted one the most awesome Move songs of the 1980s. Am I talking about the theme from Top Gun? Eye of the Tiger? Heck no, its the theme song to the rightfully underrated movie, Joysticks. Words cannot express how much I love this move and this songs is perfect distillation of its essence. Its like eating the sweetest of royal jelly ripped from the largest most neon beehive you could lay your hand on back in 1983. For more info on Joysticks check out the IMDB.

Download the song from BrianDeuelDotCom and see what I mean. You will not be disappointed.

TOTALLY AWESOME VIDEO GAME!!!

Update:Brian found the link to a band that covers this tune. Its awesome! Check out the LSDudes.

You are going to love/hate it. Its both a pale imitation of everything you have ever seen and at the same time completely original.

Madness!

Tell me what you think when you see it.
