Danger Zone is a rock song from the soundtrack to the 1986 American motion picture Top Gun. It was composed by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock, and performed by Kenny Loggins.
The second single released from the Top Gun soundtrack, "Danger Zone" was a massive hit, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song continues to be popular today, continuing in heavy rotation on Classic Rock radio stations.
[edit] Trivia
- "Danger Zone" became a running gag on the popular web series Yacht Rock. The series devoted several episodes to Loggins' other hits (including his other popular soundtrack hit "I'm Alright" from 1980's Caddyshack), and would often hint at "Danger Zone" by playing the opening riff to the song in the episode's closing moments. However, the series ended before the story behind "Danger Zone" could be revealed.
- "Danger Zone" was played on an amusement ride called Power Dive.
