A True Survivor

I have to give credit where credit is due.  I was never much of an 80's music fan.  Sure we all had our guilty pleasures like Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears, and New Order, but I really thought this fad was done and over once grunge made it's way into the music world.  However, 2015 proved to be quite the year for musical comebacks, especially 80's electronic music.  Go figure that a few decades pass and you can still create some catchy ass riffs.

Popular Kickstarter film Kung Fury was released on YouTube last night, and seems to be taking the internet by storm with it's epic action scenes and throwback setting.  The theme song for the film was released shortly before on April 16th, 2015, and performed by none other than David Hasselhoff.

Since it's release, the video has already gathered 11,000,000+ hits, and is considered by some to be one of the greatest 80's song ever written.  It encompasses everything of the 80's action; from car flipping, to dinosaur riding, and even kick some major Nazi ass!  Check it out below if you don't believe me.



Not too shabby eh?  I have probably watched this about a dozen times since last night (after watching the film) and will likely listen to this track a few more times before the day is done.  I am not sure why, other than the fact you really shouldn't Hassle the Hoff...plain and simple.



So how could this get any more epic?

Well, my love of rock/metal came into play for the second half of this post.  A duo by the name of Vale and Rocco posted a video on April 24th adding their own signature touch to the song with some shredding, and a great set of vocals (in my opinion).  Check it out below, and remember to be a True Survivor!
