AV Club took this video (and all of their old videos) down for some reason. I think everyone should have access to this amazing cover of Kenny Loggins' Danger Zone
Funny truth of the world, when people act pretentious they are often coming from a place of stupidity. Danger zone is a song with two meanings at same time. The obvious one is about fighter jets. The other is about something the incel interviewer will Likely never experience. So, the song slips one past the net of the censors while in a block buster movie. By all measures, pretty clever. This is the reason the composer is Kenny “friggin” Loggins and Calexico is a C list band with music that is forgotten even in the decade that it is played.
So they rewrote the song. At that point not a cover. When rewriting the song they use the melody from the song bad company by bad company in their version. So even their original version of the cover isn't original. Which they probably don't even realize they did since their musical world is most likely smaller than the state of Rhode island and have never heard the song bad company, while that song is quite known by the common person. Hmmmm gotta love hipster bands who are too cool or too good to cover cheesy pop songs, so they " make it their own" so it's pure enough for them as not to taint their musical purity. When in reality they are not even musically inclined enough to cover a"lame pop song" from the 80s.
@@sonofafarmer8414 cool. This video is from 2012. The concept of this A.V. Undercover series is that bands come in the studio and choose a song from a predetermined list. When a band chooses a song, that song is removed from the list. You better go music police every musician that's participated. Most of them played a cover in their style. Oh, the humanity! Calexico has been around for awhile. I promise you that they are well aware of Bad Company's butt rock music. Lucky for you, I don't think Smoke on the Water has been tampered with, yet! Dun-dun-dunnnnnnnn!!!!😱
Your futile attempt at elevating your status of coolness has failed miserably! Then again, I might be giving you more credit than what is due. Perhaps there is a different reason for your words, one that delves even deeper than the already pathetic version of virtue signaling in which you appear to engage. By carelessly slinging your words about so haphazardly, you have only manage to place your ignorance on display for those who have the awareness to realize what they are witnessing.

Calexico are hometown boys for me, and I love them.
But I got your six on this one!
God I love his voice. He can sing something this stupid and I'm still mesmerized.
Great cover👍 calexico is live always amazing❤
Nice to see these clips back up! Great cover, loved it...
Really cool approach at this song- some people totally just butcher the original arrangement.
It's amazing how they took one of the cheesiest, lamest songs of the 80's (that's really saying something) and made it truly beautiful.
Got dang
✌🏽
Excellent
This cover is second only to GWAR’s Kansas cover
Real musicians are magicians.
I just (painfully) listened to 50 seconds of the original, coming up with this is pretty amazing. Great job.
How do you not know Danger Zone??? Wow
They haven't had Top Gun inflicted...er.. shared with them? ;-)
No Archer-fandom apperently
LANA! Danger Zone !
Probably just don't equate this song with the crappy Kenny version.
why did they take those videos down??? Someone upload the Punch Brothers AV cover of Reptilia!!!
Uploading for you now mate. See my channel
OMG THANK YOU!!!
lana!
What a tremendous cover - far superior to the original in my opinion.
……… bro

Abomination. BUT, the band is quite good.
