Menudo performed that song.

But I woner if when they made the song they realised it was going to find it's place in history on the Cannonball Run 2 soundtrack..?

Must admit though, it was this flick that made me seek the song out.

Menudo did the Spanish version which shows up at the film's end.

They sure did.

Nice having two versions. Just like 99 Red Balloons... ;)

The song sucked, just like this movie.

Personally, I thought the song was pretty bad. It just didn't fit to me and left me feeling empty after finishing the movie. There was not rush or excitement in the song, which is a what a race pumped movie needs. Overall, the movie just wasn't that great at all.

That is sang by the popular Mexican group who were popular in the 80's is Menudo. They use to have Menudo perform on Saturday mornings during the 80's on ABC through out the morning with different songs that they sang.

It was like a video it seemed like.

Well thanks for letting us all know the correct place where Menudo is from. I remember on Saturday morning cartoons that they would show on ABC Menudo videos or songs back in the day. That was when Saturday morning cartoons were a lot better than what they show now for the kids.
