Tina and I saw this movie when it hit the theaters in February of 1984. Kevin Bacon’s ‘breakout’ role. How embarrassing is that? Mention Footloose and what immediately comes to mind is Bacon punch dancing out his rage in the abandoned warehouse (not done to the song Footloose, but rather to Never by the Australian band Moving Pictures). The scene has been spoofed too many times to count, including a hilarious version in the movie Hot Rod.
Not familiar with punch dancing out your rage? Check out the video!
Footloose, by Kenny Loggins
What memories does this song make you think of?
