Tebow inspires John Parr to re-record '80s classic 'St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion)
http://www.tampabay.com/blogs/80s/co...ire-man-motion
Tim Tebow, meet the '80s. The '80s, Tim Tebow. A Denver TV station is reporting that the miracle-making Broncos quarterback and former Florida Gator has inspired '80s musician John Parr to re-record his biggest hit -- St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) -- with Tebow-tweaked lyrics. I can see a new horizon Underneath the blazin' sky I'll be where the eagle's Flyin' higher and higher Gonna be a man in motion All I needs my Broncos team Take me where my future's lyin' Tim Tebows Fire. Can this possibly be real? It sounds that way. And surely weirder things have happened to '80s classics. (Which was worse: Modern English's Melt With You being used for to pimp Taco Bell or The Human League's Fascination recruited to sell Kingsford Charcoal?) "I was inspired by Tim Tebow so I wanted to modify the lyrics...in his honor of the way that he lives his life as being a great example," Parr reportedly told FOX31 Denver on Monday. The original tune gained fame as the theme song for the 1985 movie St. Elmo's Fire, but it was originally written as a tribute to Canadian Olympian Rick Hansen, who at the time was traveling around the world in a wheelchair to raise money for his spinal cord injuries. It went on to be a No. 1 hit on the charts and scored a Grammy nomination. So it's not entirely a longshot to see it repurposed for Tebow, who has shocked football experts with his miracle comebacks for the Broncos, who beat the heavily favored Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Still ... is it real? Or just an Internet stunt? Take me where the future's lyin' |

i heard this morning the Broncos/Steelers game was the highest rated game since the super bowl last year.
like him or not, Tebow is good for the league. he's outshined all the Brees, Brady and Rodgers accomplishments in 2011.

Apparently John Parr has some bills he needs paying.

If this is for real then I'll kill someone. I love this song. It's not only one of my favorite 80's songs, it's one of my favorite songs period. The songs original meaning is really inspiring. The re-write would be an insult to Rick Hansen. Tebow has had to overcome nothing but the ire of non-Christians.
This angers me.

It just won't be the same now when I put on my leotard, put in my Jane Fonda workout video and jam out to St. Elmo's Fire.

Maybe Tebow can inspire a St Elmos Fire Cast reunion.
Because you can never get enough Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Mare Winningham |

Well, bright side I suppose is that at least he's in the AFC West, which can give some exposure to KC.

I have always feared a remake/part 2 version of St Elmos or Breakfast club ... don't think Hollywood hasn't considered it.

If Tebow ever needs to slay someone with the jawbone of an ass, luckily Elway's close by.
