I really like these two songs, and I'm glad they are featured so prominently in the movie. Whenever Vacation is on, I'll watch it just cuz!
I remember reading somewhere that Lindsey was apprached to do the theme song for Ghostbusters right after doing Dancin' and HR, and he turned it down.
Then, the suits just got somebody to write something that had that LB sound (yeah, right), and the result was that horrible Ray Parker, Jr. song!
I know Lindsey could have done something killer-rocking with that! I wonder what his reason for turning it down was?
Anybody ever heard? Did FM get in the way?
I think if he had really branched out into movie soundtracks he really could have received alot of critical acclaim and attention.
Who knows, because he seemd to have an affinity for it, and it would have made him learn to work against a deadline!
C'mon Linds! Drop date for the CD wanted! ASAP!
