Power of the And

80's movies week continues (Two-In-One Edition).

To stay true to Sword and Stone's soundtrack references, I can't resist throwing another OST this time from 1986, taken from the Gremlins riff Critters, into the cheerful movie round not without its raison d'être.

The simple, but by no means bad, contemporary and extremely catchy pop-rock earworm that we are talking about here doesn't really exist outside its own movie universe, but comes along with its own music video which is more or less interwoven into the plot of the movie and is therefore played often enough not to be forgotten so quickly. And what can I mean by that other than Power of the Night by Johnny Steele?

There is this small but succinct passage in Power of the Night, in which the last line of the chorus is melodically and dramatically prolonged, only for the last two words to be delivered with exaggerated masculine determination. The exact same description would also apply to a certain part in Sword and Stone.

(...)

Interestingly, Power of the Night's verse lyrics are not entirely unrelated to those of Gene's While the City Sleeps on Animalize, to put it mildly. But this is probably due to the fact that both While the City Sleeps and Power of the Night know how to make the best use of pseudo-dramatic clichés that would do a ham actor a credit.

In the process, when two stereotypically composed songs collide, something like this can surely happen, but, admittedly, I still like Johnny Steele's much better.
