It breaks my heart that this song doesn't get the respect it deserves. It is one of the greatest songs of the 80's.

[@ryanwood1288]

I compare it to being the "Top Gun" or "Roadhouse" of songs of the 80's.

[@davewalker7775]

[@Frankcastlepunisher74]

John definitely deserves better!

[@guysumpthin2974]

John is the origional , The record industry was trying to avoid having people make the discovery that springsteen & band was just a copy , springsteens first two albums were kind-of forced , born to run sounded more like beaver brown

[@guysumpthin2974]

Bruce probably signed a contract to give up 40% , they promoted him so much

[@Slinginghotlead007]

Still one of the best soundtracks for a movie ever. Micheal Pere’ did a fantastic job as Eddie and the vocals matched his style perfectly. Absolutely underrated.

[@James_Lindgaard]

What hurt was Bruce Springsteen coming out right away with his version. If not for that this band might've received more recognition.

[@eeeeeeeeeevonne3897]

I was just a kid when I saw Eddie and the Cruisers. I thought Eddie was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. I still do. I couldn't believe it when I found out it wasn't him singing. His speaking voice sounds so similar.

The Wild Summer Nights bar scene filmed at Tony Marts in Somers Point NJ.

One of the best rock songs EVER! John and the gang should get a hell of a lot more respect. The rhythm guitar rocks, the bass is thumping harder than a trip hammer, and the sax is scorching. Everything to love and nothing disappoints in this song. Thank you guys for writing and performing this. A side note, I prefer the version of the video with the real band and not the film version. I always did get a hoot watching John do that one legged hop thing and you can see the band is having a good time.
