John Rambo, the bowslinging one-man-army who kills for fun, has a thing for Italo Disco. Or at least, Italo Disco has a thing for him.
L-Vira made this fascinating tribute to John Rambo in 1985. It has hints of 'Relax' by FGTH, Art of Noise, and ultimate songwriting brilliance, and is too good to describe.
Deep in the jungle,
fighting for justice and freedom,
No one can beat him,
this fighting machine.
Sure, that makes sense. That's why we love the dude.
And then:
"No one can catch him,
if you know what I mean.
The strongest man I know."
Ha ha! Then a bunch of sample extravaganza from the movie, and a dude belching "RRRRAMBOOOUUUWW", and we got a classic!
Watch out though, the song contains spoilers as the singer explains what happens to poor lil' fightin' eagle Rambo when he is "betrayded" by Russians and Americans, so don't listen unless you've heard of this Rambo fella.

Stuff like this makes me so happy.
p.s. the producers did a bunch of other stuff, including an album with this spectacular cover art. I'm dying to hear it only because of the cover!

"Rrraammbooouuuuw...how are you Johnny, h-h-how are you Johnny..."
Hehe, I bet it isn't. I appreciate it as I'd still love to hear it, but don't go through too much trouble...there must be other quality records dying to be ripped.
