🚜 One of the most over-the-top power ballads ever written was built for a tractor-chase scene.

When the Footloose team needed a galloping, pulse-racing number for a specific sequence, screenwriter Dean Pitchford brought in Jim Steinman — the man behind Meat Loaf's biggest epics — to write the music. Steinman knew exactly who should sing it: Bonnie Tyler, fresh off "Total Eclipse of the Heart." The result was "Holding Out for a Hero," gloriously excessive and entirely on purpose.

A runaway tractor inspired a song the whole world ended up singing. Did you know that's where it came from?
