Performed by Rick Springfield
It's a light-hearted movie, entertainment for his fans, and has a rockin' soundtrack, where Rick really shines.
Did I read correctly that another reviewer says he's a "no-talent"? Oh please. As the saying goes, he has more talent in his little finger than a host of other singers/actors/whatever have in their whole bodies! Very gifted songwriter, excellent performer (have you ever been to a concert?), and a d*mn good-looking man to boot! You can't ask for much more. Rick's been in the business for a long time, and may he continue for many more years!
Rock on, Rick baby! ;-)
