"Playing with the Boys"는 미국 싱어송라이터 케니 로긴스(Kenny Loggins)의 <TOP GUN> 오리지널 사운드트랙에 수록된 곡으로 그의 싱글로도 발매된 곡인데, Kenny Loggins & Peter Wolf & Ina Wolf가 함께 만들었고, Peter Wolf가 프로듀싱 하였다.

 

 

빌보드 HOT 100에서 60위에 랭크되는 등, 슈펴히트를 했던 "Danger Zone"이나 "Take My Breath Away" "TOP GUN Anthem" 처럼 빅히트 하지는 못했지만, 적당한 사랑을 받았는데,

 

 

 

 

이 곡은 영화 <TOP GUN>의 그 유명한 파일럿들의 비치 발리볼 씬에 사용되면서 자칫 단조로울 수 있는 씬을 강한 비트와 신나는 멜로디로 역동적인 에너지를 불어넣어줌으로써 세기의 명장면으로 만들어 주었다.

 

 

후렴구의 멜로디와 Kenny Loggins의 힘있는 보컬이 잘 어우러져 여름에 듣기 좋은 에너지틱한 곡이 아닌가 싶다.

[Verse 1]
I'd say it was the right time
To walk away
When dreaming takes you nowhere
It's time to play

Bodies working overtime
Your money don't matter
The time keeps ticking
When someone's on your mind
On your mind

I'm moving in slow motion
Feels so good
It's a strange anticipation
Knock, knock
Knocking on wood

Bodies working overtime
It's man against man
And all that ever matters is, baby
Who's ahead in the game
Funny
But it's always the same

[Chorus]
Playing
Playing with the boys
Staying
Playing with the boys

After chasing sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playing with the boys

[Verse 2]
Said it was the wrong thing
For me to do
I said it's just a boys' game
But girls play too

My heart is working overtime
In this kind of game
People get hurt
I'm thinking that the people is me
If you wanna find me
I'll be

[Chorus]
Playing
Playing with the boys
Staying
Playing with the boys

After chasing sunsets
One of life's simple joys
(Is the boys)

[Bridge]
I don't wanna be
The moth around your fire
(With the boys)
I don't wanna be
Obsessed by my desire
(You're shining, you're smiling, I'll see it now)
With the boys
(I'm staying here)
You play too rough

[Chorus:]
Playing
Playing with the boys
I'll be staying
Playing with the boys

After chasing sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playing with the boys
Playing with the boys

Playing
(Playing with the boys)
Playing
(Playing with the boys)
Get up, get up
Playing
(Playing with the boys)
Get up, get up
Playing...
