I'm Drunk! Limahl - "The NeverEnding Story"

Posted by Rob Simonsen on Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 9:58 PM

How did Limahl's theme song for The NeverEnding Story end up in my head? Not even a luck dragon knows the answer to that question. But what I do know is that not only does the movie totally hold up (that very well could be the beer talking), Limahl's Giorgio Moroder-produced theme song should have been the reason he got famous—not the uber-boring "Too Shy" from Kajagoogoo.

OH man. this movie taught me how to feel life's most important emotions, including tragedy (when the horse gets stuck in the quicksand), lust (Atrayu in that leather vest! Grarr!), a sense of justice (Sebastian's triumph over those bullies--they got what was comin to em!!) and of course, notions of immortality (Falcorrrrr! the story never ends! And neither will our childhoods as long as we can watch this movie, again and again).
