Song composed by Giorgio Moroder

I have met and had dinner with Kenny….and he is one of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting….salt of the earth for sure !

Top Gun!!! Awesome movie I can't hear this song without a woooop and yelling TopGun!!! 😳

"Danger Zone" was featured in the action scenes of the 1986 movie Top Gun, starring Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer. The film was a blockbuster and generational touchstone, and this song is intertwined with it, even though the movie title never shows up in the lyric. For many, the song still triggers a rush of adrenaline from the opening lines: Revvin' up your engine Listen to her howlin' roar After the movie came out, the US Navy flying program got a wave of applicants looking to be the next Top Gun. This was written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock, who also wrote "Take My Breath Away" for the movie. A year later, they wrote "Meet Me Half Way," which Loggins recorded for the arm wrestling movie Over The Top. Loggins was a movie soundtrack mainstay in the '80s, and had a #1 hit with the theme song to the movie Footloose two years earlier. Asked in 2007 about performing these soundtrack songs in concerts, Loggins said of "Danger Zone," "It's a good rock 'n' roll song, but I don't think it holds up that well." By the time Top Gun producer Jerry Bruckheimer tasked the songwriters to write the theme, 300 songs had been tested against various scenes from the movie and rejected. They needed something catchy and exciting for the opening sequence, and they needed it fast. Whitlock told Rediscover The '80s how the song came together: "'Danger Zone' came from the track that Giorgio cooked up for the opening carrier deck scenes. I wrote the lyrics and Joe Pizzulo sang the demo and they flew it against those opening scenes and it worked. In retrospect, I may have been a bit too clever (or obvious) with all of the allusions but it was fun nevertheless. As with most of the stuff we did in those days, everything was conceived and executed under pressure. Giorgio wrote a track and melody. Richie [Zito], Arthur [Barrow] and Brian [Reeves] recorded it and by the next day we were cutting a demo vocal with Joe." It took a bit longer to actually find someone to sing the tune because Columbia Records, who were releasing the soundtrack, wanted an artist from the label to perform it. It bounced around to Toto, Bryan Adams, REO Speedwagon, and Corey Hart, and Starship before it landed at Kenny Loggins. Mickey Thomas of Starship said the band loved the song but were uneasy about the movie's pro-military theme, which was allegedly the same reason Adams turned down the gig. While Loggins added his own touches to the tune, including some lyrics and chord changes, he wasn't credited as a songwriter. The singer told Rock Music History he was left off the roster so Moroder and Whitlock could meet an eligibility requirement for an Academy Award category. "Giorgio and Tom had written most of the songs for Top Gun, just the two of them, and there's a particular category in the Academies for songs, and if you have like six songs, you can be eligible for this Academy Award, provided it's the same writers," he explained. ("Take My Breath Away" ended up taking Best Original Song in 1986.) Loggins agreed to take a cut of the publishing instead, but that deal got screwed up when Moroder sold his publishing, and Loggins has spent years trying to get his due. Loggins said he channeled Tina Turner on the song's title lyric. "I think that's why I ended up singing DaaangAH zone," he explained on the movie's DVD commentary. (Songfacts.com)

Nice copy and paste Captain obvious. 🙄

I can confirm that this song has cost me a small fortune in speeding tickets. Totally worth it, though. 😆

Idk why y'all channel doesn't have more views. Your my favorite reaction channel. Keep up the great work. Much love

You were close Asia. Kenny Loggins does Footloose and Danger Zone.

Danger Zone was composed by Giorgio Moroder

Love Kenny Loggins, especially in this great tune, I never will forget watching Top Gun (the original) at the movies,and this tune sent the movie into the stratosphere, and that's no exaggeration,lol. Thanks Asia and BJ!

Asia, you would love the harmony of Kenny's duet with Stevie Nicks, "Whenever I Call You Friend". It's truly HEAVENLY! 💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙

Asia & BJ, you’ll love his “I’m Alright”, "Whenever I Call You 'Friend'" (with Stevie Nicks) and “Your Mama Don’t Dance”(Loggins & Messina)”!!!

The song was a great fit for the movie

That’s what I said. Sorry I kinda copied your comment. I didn’t see it before commenting mine oops

The #1 hit from our 2 TOP GUNS … Much love family ♥️🤗🤗♥️

Saw Kenny in concert at Virginia Beach about 10 years ago. Love him. Movie soundtrack king.

Kenny loggins meet me halfway. From one of the best 80s movies ever. Over the top with Sylvester Stallone. If yall haven't seen it definitely give it a watch and react to the song!

Asia you are too darned cute🤣 when BJ is quizzing you🤣

Guys,you have got to check out X Wing Danger Zone.Some genius has cobbled together a load of clips from Star Wars and put this tune to it and it works sooo well.Right here on KZread.Enjoy.

You should react to Don't Fight It. Kenny Loggins and Steve Perry duet. You would love it!

Loggins also sang the Footloose theme song. And Caddyshack.

From the 1986 Top Gun movie.

This song was the best in Top Gun it fit so well especially in the movie theater

another great movie top gun 1986

Well Footloose is a Kenny Loggins song too. So Asia gets a 1/2 point for that one. Another great driving down the road song you should react to is Golden Earring and "Radar Love".

The Top Gun Flicks got me completely hooked with this Song.

Don't know if it was intentional, but the perfect song for an aircraft carrier. You can't listen to this without imagining the footage from Top Gun. Same with "I'm Alright" from Caddy Shack.

Best 80S tune ever!!!!

How could mama get this wrong it’s top gun it had my favorite fighter jet in the F-14 tomcat

This song is also in top gun maverick

You guys haven't heard Kenny Logins until you listen to his stuff from they Loggins and Messina days. Listen to the live album ON STAGE from the early 70s to hear him and Jimmy Messina at their best. "Angry Eyes" is a banger.

🎶BOW-WOW-WOW-WOW-WOW...🎵

A truly global smash hit 🤟😜🔥🔥🔥

This the best 80’s soundtrack song

Need to see this in the official video - "jumpin' off the deck, shove it into overdrive" - visual: F-14 in full afterburner launching off an aircraft carrier

Ohh you need to watch the video of this song. Its on the Top Gun soundtrack and the video is AWESOME that goes w/ this song

Classic Top gun soundtrack

Top Gun was the movie

Is it Dirty Dancing??? Footloose???😏😏😏😅😅😅🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Iconic song mama c'mon MANNN. You all have to react to the sequel 💯💯💯👍👍👍

It’s always hilarious watching brother BJ getting down with his bad self with the moves & Asia’s looking at him like “Babe… What are y’ all doing??? What’s going on???” 😂😂😂

When this first came out I was blasting it on my brothers stereo just so into it and then I look and my Dad is standing there yelling "What the hell are you doing?" Rest in peace Dad, but you know you liked it.

80s movie soundtrack songs never disappoint 💚

This is a great song from a great movie, there is a good clip of Concorde set to this tune you should check it out! Concorde top gun.

Lol Bj jammin out and Asia thinking 🤔

I remember watching this movie while on deployment to Persian Gulf in 87. The movie was a big driver in alot of enlistments back then. I was on cruiser; this song in the movie made me and my mates wish we were on a carrier. Rock on

I bet Bj would love my 1969 c-10 Chevrolet truck. The 350c.u. engine died in it so my dad asked if I would like to put my 1972 Cadillac engine in it. I said heck ya. The Cadillac had a 472 c.u. engine and yes it fits, lol. It is still running today. It's the only automobile my dad ever bought new. I was 2 years old when he got it.

Psychostick did an amazing cover of this song, danger zone. Check it out

You would never expect the same guy wrote "The House On Pooh Corner." It's amazing.

Love the video!!!

Guys watch Alfred Hitchcocks The Birds made in 1963. Old-school but a classic.

Such an iconic song from Kenny and on the Top Gun Motion Picture Soundtrack. I do suggest you react to his song "Meet Me Halfway" from Over The Top Motion Picture Soundtrack starring Sylvester Stallone. Please react to that movie on your channel along with The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Condorman, Legend, Shipwrecked, 7th Voyage Of Sinbad, The Neverending Story, and Masters Of The Universe. Thanks yall!

Used to love hearing this one to man y'all bringing the good ol oldies

This is Kenny Loggins from the iconic 70's band, Loggins and Messina, who have a huge catalog, that you may want to explore.

Great driving song

This song had me hooked from the minute I heard it in 1986. Great guitar. Great singalong lyrics. And the rush of energy it gives you is better than a Red Bull. Now, you should check out some of Kenny's earlier work. First, a big hit with his old partner Jim Messina from his days 0f Loggins and Messina. The song is YOUR MAMA DON'T DANCE. The second is Kenny and his softer side on DANNY'S SONG. I remember these songs well from my younger days and haven't heard them in a while. Hope you will enjoy them the way I still do. And since I saw your reaction to Top Gun not long ago, maybe you could play the live in Japan version of TAKE MY BREATH AWAY by the group Berlin and singer, Teri Nunn. I think Asia will really love the close interaction with the fans. Enjoy.

Man that 🎷 sax yeauh

There is an adult swim cartoon character named Archer that is a secret agent. This is his favorite song, used many times in episodes of Archer.

Asia and BJ you really need to check out The Faint - Chameleon Nights. It’s an absolute banger. They are really an amazing group.

I don’t even think of this as a real song. It’s nothing but the theme for Top Gun. 😂

Same LMAO😂😂😂

I born and raised in San Diego where they filmed both Topgun movies. The first top gun movie was released a few months before I was born. The original naval base that the first top gun movie was filmed at was Miramar Naval air station. Miramar base is now a marine airbase. I used to have a job transporting documents for the federal government and one of the locations I would go to was the Miramar airbase. One day I was just listening to the regular radio when I was driving into the base as highway to the danger zone started playing. I started laughing and my coworker who was with me that day had no idea why I thought it was so funny. because he had never saw top gun As cute as it was to film the second top gun movie in San Diego, The truth is that the Topgun flight score is actually in Laughlin Nevada now.

This tune puts you in a Tomcat kneeling on Cat One, ready to be shot off the Deck and straight into some BFM against that Bogey from a faraway land...

Such a talented artist

You have to watch this with the movie scenes, makes it so much better with the visuals.

Top gun baby!! 😊👍

"B.J. drives like a little road gangster"....his reaction almost made me spit out my wine laughing!

This song is from the movie "Top Gun" & was when Kenny Loggins went solo. I am not sure if you have done any Kenny Loggins & Jim Messina. Love this duo from the 70's. I had their albums. They had a lot of great songs such as "Danny's Song", "House At Pooh Corner", "Your Mama Don't Dance", "Thinking Of You", "My Music", "Angry Eyes", "Be Free", "Watching The River Run", "Vahevala", "Lahaina", "Sailin' The Wind", "Pathway To Glory" etc.

Y’all gotta do “Loraine” by Kenny Loggins!!! 😁

Cool stuff yall

Can’t hear this song without think of the fx show archer. Lanaaaaaaaaaa, what archer gd it what… danger zone

Asia, if you ain't the lead dog the scenery never changes. Go go BJ go! Hope to see you in my rear view someday 🏁

Good beat 😊

This is about as "80's commercial pop music" as you can get. Electronic drums and all. Total 80's cheese. And Kenny Loggins was the 80's soundtrack king. He was definitely the "go to guy" when it came to soundtracks in the 80's (He sang theme songs for 80's hit movies Caddyshack, Footloose, Top Gun..etc..etc)

Hey Asia & BJ , im asking again from a fellow Texan , Please do a reaction to Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird (Live 1976 at Knebworth Festival) it will blow you away !!!

FOOTLOOSE??? Oh sweet lord, help me! LOL! I love ya' Asia, but my goodness. Haha. This song will get you revved up, like if you're taking off in an F-14 from an aircraft carrier.

👍👍 While I was watching this, I just got to thinking . . . In recent decades the songs from movie soundtracks don't seem to be a big deal or hold the same value they used to, when it seemed they would become wildly popular and soar to #1 when the movie was released. I wonder why that is? 🤔 Anyway, great reaction ❤

I'm sorry Asia, but the answer we were looking for was Top Gun, but thank you for playing

I love the song but you need to watch the official video with all the jet fighter action.

Kenny Loggins is one of my favorite singers from that time period. His best two songs are Make Me Lose Control and Danny's Song, but anything he sings is great.

He must not be much of a favorite of yours if you think Make Me Lose Control is by him. It's by Eric Carmen(Raspberries, All by Myself, Hungry Eyes). At least you didn't confuse him with Kenny Rogers.

I know yall did a reaction to Top Gun but I can't remember if you guys did Top Gun Maverick too. If yall haven't yet seen it will yall be doing it for the channel? I really hope so...great movie! A lot of ppl say it's a perfect sequel and better than the first and I most definitely agree.

Maverick and Goose all day! I feel the need...the need for speed!
