THE GOONIES are 25 today!
Monday, June 7, 2010
The Goonies was released 25 years ago today. The film has been endlessly re-watched and analyzed by fans, but there's one small detail that's been puzzling them for a quarter of a century. In the scene near the end, the kids are reunited with their parents and Data blurts out that "the octopus was very scary." What octopus?
Originally the film featured a sequence where the kids fought a giant octopus, but the scene was cut for time. (It's since been inserted back into TV airings and it can be seen as a deleted scene on the DVD.) The scene featured Eight Arms to Hold You, a song recorded by a hastily assembled studio band called The Goon Squad. The song was later released as a single, and actually hit number one on the dance charts.
This is the charming (and not even slightly dated) music video, featuring an '80s babe and her doting claymation octopus pal. The song isn't much by itself, but paired with the video this is seriously cute stuff.
