Kenny Loggins ~ Danger Zone 1986 Extended Purrfection Version

Did you know that Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock wrote "Danger Zone" for the opening sequence of the movie "Top Gun" with Berlin in mind? Moroder thought better of it and traded that song for the ballad "Take My Breath Away" which gave Berlin a #1 Pop hit.

"Danger Zone" was then offered to Kenny Loggins who was golden when it came to soundtrack singles. Moroder took Loggins suggestions to improve the song and incorporated them into the final recording. The song was then released on May 10, 1986 at #85, peaking at #2 for one week. The song that kept him out of the top spot? "Sledgehammer"! It was released the same day as "Danger Zone" entering the chart at #89, four spots after Loggins but catapulted over Loggins and took over the pole position.

When I took TV and Video production, I was given "Danger Zone" to create a video as a project and was given footage of a military air show in the desert.
I put it together as I went along and it turned out great! I got an A on it.

Perfect music for a carrier operation somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

Kenny Loggins did really well when he wrote the lyrics - did he write the music as well, they fit perfectly with the film!

[johnnytadwell]

Perfect timing for this one.
Red light overload Maverick.

I saw Kenny Loggins in concert several years ago and he was as awesome as he still is today--I've always loved this theme from "Top Gun" and his song 'I'm Alright' from "Caddyshack" as well as his other theme 'Nobody's Fool' from "Caddyshack II".

Sweet! This is one of my Road Tunes (actually motorcycle playlist). Hopefully everyone went to see Top Gun: Maverick in the theaters. The opening sequence is awesome :)

I feel the need…the need for speed! Just like I feel the need to listen to this extended masterwork by DiscoCat. He put “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins into afterburner. You’re going to feel like flying with Maverick and Cougar as they mix it up with the airborne bad guys and give them a nad case of whoop ass, after which they have tons of fun buzzing the air control tower. My wife and I just got through watching TOP GUN and I remember that this movie turned Tom Cruise into a superstar, and he hasn’t looked back ever since. Made a lot of people want to join the United States Navy.

Lana, call Kenny Loggins cuz you're in the danger zone.
