Okay how many movies has this song been in anyway???? What is the guy's name that sings it??
I am really asking these questions because right off hand I do not know.
Why do I want to say Michael McDonald? I know that is wrong, I think.
Anyway it is an awesome dance song, if I am not mistaken it is from Flashdance. I haven't seen it since it came out probablly 20 years ago.
What do you guys think about this song? What are the answers to my questions above? Does anyone know?

Hey Jess!
Since I just watched Flashdance last week....I'll fill you in on what I know.
It's Michael Sembello "Maniac"
The other movie I know it's in is that insane idiotic 90's movie with Chris Farley doing his Jennifer Beals impersonation. Which you can't help but laugh.
I know it's an easy joke to pull cause anyone will know what your doing when you do the quick step feet together and bob your head...."maniac maniac" Sorry you can't help but laugh!
You haven't watched it in 20 years??? do it now...and report back. I made a post the other day and accidently deleted it when I meant to correct my post ooooops.....lol!

I don't know why I want to shy away from this one. I mean really I don't. I think I tend to shy away from those made in big cities becaue I sometimes feel that the characters get lost in all of the big scenery. Does that make any sense?
I know what you mean Muff about dancing around to it. I also remember Chris Farley dancing to it, pretty darn funny!!

The song once appeared in a TV commercial for the Blockbuster Video stores.

It was also in Gremlins, remember when the Gremlin was dressed up in the legwarmers and dancing around?
