"Danger Zone" is a song, with music composed by Giorgio Moroder and lyrics written by Tom Whitlock, which American singer-songwriter Kenny Loggins recorded and released in 1986. The song appeared on the soundtrack to the 1986 American motion picture Top Gun.
Dann Huff, lead vocalist and guitarist from '80s hard rock group Giant, performed guitar on the selection. The main instruments used in the track were synthesizers and not as commonly believed guitars. The bass line is a classic 1980's sound comprised in the main of a plucked bass sound from the ubiquitous Yamaha DX7 Synthesizer, with the drums being provided by the LinnDrum (a drum machine designed by Roger Linn) which also appears on hundreds of other 1980's pop hits.
A music video was released in May of 1986 to promote the single. The video was directed by Tony Scott and featured footage of Loggins singing, as well as clips from the film Top Gun, which Scott also directed.
I'm a sucker for extended versions of songs. So, since there never was one for this song, I took it upon myself to make one. Enjoy!
