Perhaps the best song off the soundtrack for the Tom Cruise tour de force, the Top Gun Anthem is 4 minutes of pure 80's suck. And by suck, I mean awesome.
The video is even better, with clips from the movie combined with Faltermeyer's curly mini-mullet and Steve Stevens drag queen heels in an airplane hangar, it delivers on many different levels. Onto the comments:
This is the anthem I use to salute my morning wood. It's the ultimate victory song.romero2k (3 days ago) Show Hide0Marked as spamReply | SpamThis is the ultimate victory song. It should be the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command national fucking anthem, NASCAR's national anthem, The U.S. Army & Marines Scout Sniper national anthem. The NFL Superbowls national anthem. When I was in the desert we used to play this whenever bombers took off on missions. We'd sometimes even stand on the ramp saluting when the jets taxied out. R.I.P. U.S. NAVY F-14 TomCat...
after me and my friend finaly figured out how to make cheese steaks (we are retarded and so is my oven), we played this music in victory and did a slow motion hi-five
YOU,
your still dangerous
but you can rim my ass anytime,,,
bullshit, you can rim mine
I'll never forget a high school buddy of mine telling me about the homosexual undertones of Top Gun and forever ruining it for me. I never noticed it until I was 13...and then another buddy of mine further ruined the movie for me in college when he pointed out how ugly Kelly McGillis is.so your name is evil 666 wich implies you worship some dark deity
i know you dont because if you were really evil you would not watch youtube
so you are the one who needs to Shut The Fuck Up
just because i expressed a honest whole hearted answer that the top gun anthem sucks does not give YOU the right to act like a cunt
so live up to your name and go practice some evil deeds or go fingerpaint i dont give a fuck
just please
GET THE FUCK OFF OF YOUTUBE YOU DUMB CUNT
Whoooaaa their soldier. Apparently you can't be evil AND watch youtube. And who here is really acting like a cunt?
harold faltermeyer on keyboards...steve stevens on lead guitars...awesome pair! great harmony!
i wonder what steve is doing now? he was the guitarist of michael jackson on dirty diana & used to play with billy idol in the 80's. way to go steve!
Yeah, Steve, way to go on being totally irrelevant since the late 80's.
Hell yeah this song is repetitive. I listened to it a million flippin times cuz I couldn't land on the damn aircraft carrier at the end of level 1 on Top Gun for the NES back when I was 12.
I think everyone can relate to this.
this guy hair is kinda funny but who cares and why the fuck would you laughing at him that guy rocks fuck hard core yah.but i bet that guitarist could pork any crotch he wanted back in the 80s
What's the over/under on illegitimate kids he has running around today? I'm setting the bar at 3. Which brings me to another fun thought when I see a soccer moms, how many of them were groupies? What would you do if you found your mom banged a rockstar back stage in 1987? And not even a cool rock star like Eddie Van Halen, but someone like Steve Stevens or the lead singer for Ratt?
best movie has to have one of the best songs man this makes me feel proud to be in the military
If this song is the only thing that makes you proud to be in the military, you must be the guy that throws urinal cakes at bootcamp.
Dear All,
I have some questions about psychology:
*Why do we love flying?
*What is so "magical" and "exciting" about flying that a moive and a song is composed for it?
THANK YOU IN ADVNACE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)
I'm not sure why we love flying, but I'm sure it probably has something to do with the fact that it's something not everyone gets to do all the time. Kind of like repeatedly kicking applesweeter here in the dick.well if you knew anything about guitars and set-ups you would know that there are things called wireless cable routers that you would plug into your guitar and amp
Well if you knew anything about music videos you'd understand that the song was recorded well before they shot the fucking video. In other words, he's not actually playing the guitar in the video, retard.
jakep2007 u really r a fucking retard.....1st ....how old are you? 5? how can you not like this movie just for the pure adrenaline rush? and this mite rilly piss u off little jackass...nobody joins AF bcuz of top gun..seeing as all the pilots are....wait for it.... IN THE NAVY. not the air force. THE NAVY.
u rilly r a fucking retard, bizmiard. how can you not like this movie for the scenes in the men's locker room?
you just contradicted yourself at least 3 times. and you also need to go back to school and learn how to spell. or at least, install a spell checker because you do not know how to spell.
hmm, and thats odd... navy? i didn't know boats flew. pretty sure thats covered by the AIR FORCE. just because the air force and the navy work in correlation with each other doesn't mean they're one of the same.
Really? Are we this dumb? Even when Maverick says "I'm a Naval aviator," that doesn't give you a Goddamn clue?This song inspires me. It's a long story of why but it dose.
Damn, I thought he was going to tell his story. I'm crushed.
Harold Faltermeyer made this song. if u don't belive me go on itunes. it says Top Gun Anthem and for artist it says Halold Feltermeyer even thought it shows steve stevens playing, Halold Feltermeyer wrote it
We can thank this guy for settling that longstanding debate.where cn i get the back track of this song... plz help me i really need ur help...i need this song without a guitar...where cn i find it??
Backtracking and finding a version of this song without a guitar are two vastly different things. Backtracking is when you play a song backwards in hopes to hear some subliminal message. One of the more famous backtrackings is the legend that you can hear an ode to Satan in Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven."
I hope ijuzlabit heard a subliminal message for suicide and took a hint when he played this backwards.
I was just saying that in most mock dogfights, it usually comes down to pilot skill. I brought up the F-22 because the F-22 is considered to be one of the worlds best fighter aircraft. The F-14 has beaten F/A-18s in dogfights, but the opposite has happened as well. The Navy was in need of a new fighter aircraft with strike capabilities, and the Hornet has been living up to its expectations.
Mock dogfights? Like dogfights that aren't real? Then what the fuck does pilot skill have to do with anything?
Thanks BargainBinLaden. What the hell would we do without you and your contributions?
ROCK AND ROLL! I lost my virginity to this song. FUCK YEAH! America is the best country ever!!
Something tells me he's lying about the whole losing his virginity thing here.
Sorry; I must admit there are many looong years since the last time I listened to Billy Idol. That's because, in 1989, I quit the heavy metal stage and started listening and playing blues and jazz...
Snob.
