Billy Ocean - "When the going gets tough, the tough get going"

Billy's brought a very large backing band, so huge that we almost lose track of who is the star and who is the hired help.

Taken from the soundtrack to "The Jewel in the Nile", it'll go on to spend the next month at number one. They're probably playing it on Heart right now.
