Actually, the whole score of the movie was ill suited for the action that was on screen - 2 quick examples: the parachuting scene and the killing the sentries at the barracks scene.

I hate that song!!! I either spin over it to get to the film, or turn the sound right down until the film starts!! So, NO, you are certainly not alone!!!

I wore out my TWG soundtrack vinyl album replaying Joan Armatrading non-stop while playing soldier during my late childhood. Good times .

It's not just you. The song is painful. How she sells any records is beyond me.
