Your favorite song from the soundtrack?


My toss up is between I'm Alive, Xanadu and All Over the World. Don't get me wrong, I love Magic and Suddenly, but those first three just make you feel good all over :) I think I'm Alive might be the winner for me.

I don't speak whatever.

Personally, I really like "Dancin" but that's because of the sequence in the film. Especially towards the end when the two seemingly disparate musical styles mesh together perfectly with the two stages moving together at the same time.

**edit**Otherwise and without being visually influenced(lol), I'd say my favorite song is "All Over The World".

You will be missed Carleen(aka Cassavetes45). :(

They are all great songs but if I have to choose my 3 favourites are Dancin, Magic and The Fall but as I said I like them all.

"I'm Alive" and "Magic" get my vote. The former's lyrics and music are just uplifting, and Olivia Newton John's voice in the latter is so sultry and alluring -- and she is so feminine and emits "dignified sexy" at every turn. Can't say the same thing for more modern singers, even singers that got famous even four years later, since they chose the more vulgar route...

If I never saw the disco rollerskaing, "Xanadu" would be better off as a song. Still, (SPOILER ALERT), it was all a dream and "Xanadu" as the name of the place is a tie-in to a mythological paradise of sorts... the movie is dated, but I wholly and highly appreciate the concepts behind it.

It's a FANTASTIC soundtrack, all tracks are great, I'd choose "Magic".

Jake, My Jake!
