Fire Inc - tonight is what it means to be young 1984

[@cgilm2526]

Sums up the 80's. Soundtracks were bigger hits than the movies themselves. The music to this movie was incredible.

Yes absolutely 80' s Greatsoundtracksera Nostalgietime👍👍👍🫵🫵🫵 ❤❤❤

[@szilardtoth8814]

Steinman & Meat Loaf for example...

[@Williestyle-RobotechxMacross-x]

You can thank Jim Steinman and the team of "session (studio) musicians" he out together for this movie. The Dan Hartman track "I Can Dream About You" was one of the few that fames director Walter Hill had already picked out as a "template" of the kind of songs he wanted - the rest was mainly Steinman writing songs to fit the movie and characters. The movie got its "dark" look from having the outside sets covered by a series of giant tarps so they could film all day *and night* . The "city" is famously Chicago, the elevated train tracks being the obvious link. And this song was recorded on the soundtrack by "session musician" extraordinare Marilyn Martin, who had sung back up on some Stevie Nicks album tracks. The only time you hear "Ellen Aim" (actress Diane Lane!) singing any part of this is in the movie itself.

1 of the best rock and roll songs ever written. Jim Steinman was a musical genuis. I could listen to tbis song on repeat 24/7 its so epic.

NO big NO!!! This is a cover of the orginial sung by Laurie Sargent, Fire Inc. was a made-up name band that never existed. The lady singing this excellent version is Marilyn Martin.

Actually the singer of the original recording is emerging of two different voices that would not fly today but Jim Steiman did it in the '80s

They also do there own music under Crimson Riot.

[@Williestyle-RobotechxMacross-x]

except Laura is not actually "singing" any of this supposed "cover" it is the exact same song from the _'Streets Of Fire'_ soundtrack, sung by Marilyn Martin. Just like the "music video" with Diane Lane, this is all lip sync, just a "video cover" for a proposed "continuation movie" that went nowhere, fast. lol

[@periair8874]

@@Williestyle-RobotechxMacross-xit’s not true this Song is not singing Marylin Martin. Two songs written by Steinman were part of the soundtrack: "Tonight Is What It Means to Be Young" (number 80 on the US Billboard Hot 100) and "Nowhere Fast", both performed by Fire Inc., with Holly Sherwood providing lead vocals on the former and Laurie Sargent on the latter.

40 años después. Genial que aparezcan Tom Cody (Parê) y Reva (Van Valkenburgh). A mis 22 años de aquel entonces, esta película dejó honda huella en mi alma. Gracias, Walter. Lo que se pudo mejorar: la expresión facial de Cody. La nostalgia nutre el alma, no la hace sufrir. Mejor respuesta de Reva.

1984年当時、学生だった頃に友達が借りてきたレーザーディスクで見たのが初めてでした。このMVにある曲をはじめとして、若かった頃の私に感動と興奮を与えてくれた映画でした。その友達が先日病で亡くなりました。この曲を聴くと当時のことを思い出します。そういう切ない思いも含めて、私にとって大切な思い出の一曲です。このMVに出てくる年齢を重ねた三人の姿に長い時間を改めて感じます。

This movie has the same particular consequences like The Princess Bride, they weren’t popular at the box office, but they were a good symbol of the 80’s and nowadays they’re still popular in a very great fan base! After 40 years!

[@perynlukos9533]

I am glad to see who actually sang this song...

[@Wendel-dc8ys]

It's not the voice of the lady of the video

[@MrMercurymark]

Voz da Laura Sargent, Pandora's Box

[@tantze]

I totally agree. There were so many rumors about that. Stevie Nick's was always rumored to be the lead singer.😮

[@Williestyle-RobotechxMacross-x]

Nope. Laura is not actually "singing" this cover, nor is this the "real" "Fire, Inc." from the _Streets Of Fire_ soundtrack. This is the same version as on that soundtrack by famed "session musician" Marilyn Martin. The only time you heard even a little of actress Diane Lane ("Ellen Aim") was in the chorus of the movie song itself. And this "cover" is all video, no music. Mario Martin has often been confused for Stevie Nicks, she has even sung "back up" on a couple of Stevie's album tracks. Most famously Marilyn stood in for Stevie on Tom Pretty's "Don't Come Around Here No More". which was inspired by Stevie telling guitarist Joe Walsh that line - "Don't come around here no more..." when he showed up stoned and... disagreeable to a recording session.

Nope she is not "singing" any of this that we hear - it is Marilyn Martin, just like in the movie this is all lip syncing.

[@Williestyle-RobotechxMacross-x]

4:45 For anyone that has ever lived in Chicago we can spot our city in these scenes. The supports for the elevated train (EL-train®) tracks are distinctive and different from used in other cities, like NYC. While the neon lights of the "theater" shown are unfamiliar, maybe someone else knows it? I know there was once a theater converted to a "performance space" on one side of "the Loop" elevated train line - But I left Chicago while I was still a pre teen in the early 1980's, so I am not sure if this is, or was, a real place or just "set dressing" for _'Streets Of Fire'_ .

I just watched a doc on Bat out of Hell. The Meat Loaf album. His composer, pianist was Jim Steinman. He wrote this. You can’t miss the energy in his music. Meat Loaf also recorded a version of this song. Steinman did another song in Streets of Fire. You can’t miss it. He has a sound of his own.

[@RPhillip]

I don't think Meat Loaf did a version of this song. At least not that I've ever seen/heard. There was a demo version with Steve Barton/Elaine Caswell when they reworked it for Tanz Der Vampire. You may be thinking of his version of "Nowhere Fast", another song from this album/movie.

[@PaulSturm-nl9ke]

A favorite of mine since first saw movie maybe 30 years ago. Our local HS had an ambitious and talented vocal music instructor when I and my young family moved here in mid 1990s and he had developed a smaller (not small) performing ensemble that did wonderful "video-style" performances of songs. Always thought they should have created one of this song (which probably was 15 years old by then) - maybe they did before I arrived, but I always sensed, because of the complexities of Steinman's composition, it would have been one kids would have wanted to do year after year, shifting into new "roles" as they progressed, but the teacher went on to bigger, better things within about 3-4 years. One last thing, since the indication is this mixed version between some Fire Inc. concert footage and the film scene was done within the past year, my sense is the male onlooker that's seemingly"offstage" during the Fire Inc. segments actually is a now-much-older Michael Paré, the lead actor (Tom Cody role) from the movie. At least there's a resemblance. In addition, in the late "2 shot" with that male and a woman he chats with, the woman looks very much like Debra Van Valkenbugh, who played Tom's sister who calls him to come save old flame Ellen Aim (Diane Lane) in the movie. They might be shown in a scene from the 2008 sequel "Road to Hell".

[@JyrkiPuttonen]

This was mixed version of old movieclips from Streets of Fire, (also those concertclips) and new material from Road to Hell. Those are Michael Paré and Debra Van Valkenbugh. Music is original version, not a new version from Road to Hell. This is new version from Road to Hell kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZovLop2miLyXqKc
