Movie Music Monday – One Crazy Summer

It’s hard to believe that Demi Moore is 62 today! Her career has included some big box office hits.  Those include Ghost, A Few Good Men, Striptease, GI Jane, Indecent Proposal, The Juror, and many more. 

With so many great movies and great soundtracks to choose from, I had plenty of songs that I could feature.  Instead, I picked a rather obscure one because it features Demi actually singing.

In 1986, she starred alongside John Cusak in a silly film called One Crazy Summer.  Is it a great film?  No.  The New York Times said, “In spite of the director’s flair for zany humor, this film is just absurd.”

Demi plays a rock singer who is trying to raise money to save her grandfather’s house.  Cusak’s character and his nutty friends promote one of her shows and it is a big success. At the show, she songs a song called “Don’t Look Back.”

The song has your stereotypical 1980’s sound, and the vocal actually isn’t bad.  If she had released an album … I might have bought it.

Happy birthday, Demi Moore!!

  1. never saw that one but I did like Demi back in the day. Just looking through her filmography, I didn’t realize she’d been in so many movies – I’ve seen perhaps 8, and most of them have been pretty good and she was watchable … to me about the only thing positive about ‘st Elmo’s Fire’ besides maybe the theme song
