Number 7 Footloose brought the music, the dancing, and the teenage rebellion—and it made me want a VW bug just like Ren’s. The soundtrack is packed with songs you still can’t help but move to: “Footloose,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” “Holding Out for a Hero.” It’s pure 80s energy that still makes me want to turn the volume all the way up.
I’ll be linking to each soundtrack’s Wikipedia page if you want to dig deeper, rediscover the track listings, or argue with your own memory of what played during that prom scene.
And don’t worry — this won’t be the last time we visit movie soundtracks. 🎶
