這是當時日本當紅小生玉女: 真田廣之, 藥師丸博子, 有時候第四台重播時, 還會看一下, 不過, 現在大概不大有機會看到了

Take my breath away: 捍衛戰士的主題曲,

當年找了如Tom Cruise(湯姆克魯斯)、
Val Kilmer(方基默)、Tim Robbins(提姆羅賓斯)、
Anthony Edwards(安東尼艾德華)以及
Meg Ryan(梅格萊恩,電子情書)…
這導演算是厲害, 如果晚個十年拍這部片找這些人
片酬恐怕差十倍有了, 劇情....單純到不行, 可是他的主題曲
真得是很好聽,

找著找著, 找到了 We are the world, 說到這, 就想到另一首義賣歌曲的始祖
(至少是我知道的始祖), Do they know it's Christmas?(他們知道現在是聖誕節嗎?)
每年到了聖誕節, 幾乎都會聽到的, 1984年, 英國發起的援助非洲飢民的募款
活動, 1980年代幾個知名樂團參與了這個活動,

There's a world outside your window
(窗外有另一個世界)
And it's a world of dread and fear

Where the only water flowing is the bitter sting of tears

And the Christmas bells that are ringing
Are clanging chimes of doom.
