Songinfo

Flash, ook wel bekend als Flash's Theme verscheen in december 1980 en werd na het succes van Another One Bites The Dust een bescheiden hit met een 18de plaats in de Top 40; in Engeland werd de 10de plaats gehaald, terwijl in de Verenigde Staten de single maar net de top 40 bereikte.

Trivia

Wist je dat? 1980 was een druk jaar voor de band. Ze werkten aan 2 albumprojecten en waren ook nog eens op toernee. De band was gevraagd om de muziek te maken voor de film Flash Gordon. De leadsingle was dan ook Flash, die eind 1980 de hitlijsten beklom. In de video zien we de band spelend tegen een achtergrond waarop beelden van de film te zien zijn. 6 jaar later zou de band opnieuw meewerken aan een film. De naam van die film? Highlander.

Songtekst

[Drums crescendo]
[Foreground]
Flash - aa-ah
Saviour of the universe.
Flash - aa-ah
He'll save everyone of us.
[Background]
[Newsspeaker] Seemingly there's no reason for these extr'ordinary intergalactical upsets.

[Man's voice] Hahahahahahahah
[Woman's voice] [anxiously] What's happening, Flash?
[Newsspeaker] Only Dr. Hans Zarkov, formerly at NASA, has provided any explanation.
[Foreground]
Flash - aa-ah
He's a miracle.
[Background]
[Newsspeaker] This morning's unprecedented solar eclipse is no cause for alarm.
[Foreground]
Flash - aa-ah
King of the impossible.
He's for everyone of us,
stands for everyone of us.
He'll save with a mighty hand
Every man, every woman,
Every child - with a mighty flash
[Background]
[Radar Officer] General Kala: Flash Gordon approaching.
[General Kala] What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
Open fire. [sound of laser-guns] All weapons. [sound of more guns]
Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body.
[Foreground]
Flash - aa-ah
[instrumental]
[Background]
[Man's voice] Gordon's alive!
[Foreground]
Flash - aa-ah
He'll save everyone of us.
Just a man with a man's courage.
He knows, Nothing but a man
But he can never fail.
No one but the pure in heart may find the Golden Grail
(oo-oh)
[Background]
[Woman's voice] Flash, Flash, I love you. But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth.
Flash
[Drums decrescendo]
