Oh the days of Big Hair Glam Metal bands like Cheap Trick, who let you know that I want you to want me. It was right in the middle of this era that the first feature length animated Transformers film came out. And for me it rocked! John, the dirty blaspheming ape can’t stand the movie, but since my namesake got to become the unsuspecting leader of the Autobots, and Rodimus became a nickname of mine all through highschool.
Shutup. It was cool back then.
You know what else was cool? The music. And while Stan Bush’s “The Touch” is still a heartfelt favourite of mine and the groovy metal updated theme song by Lion still gives me chills elevating the simple tv series to the big screen where robots can cuss.
Stan Bush made a few publicity attempts to get the attention of Paramount to get him on the Soundtrack but it just isn’t happening. Now Cheap Trick has offered up their version of the Transformers theme, and I think it wouldn’t have even been cool back then. I will stick with the one on the Transformers: The Movie Soundtrack thanks!
