I say again: I appreciate you kicking off the conversation by taking a strong position. I think it made for a better conversation (and you had good reasons).
After listening to a bunch of versions of "Danger Zone" I think I'm going to have it stuck in my head for weeks; but that's not too bad.
So many soundtrack songs of the 80s got passed around to many artists. These “coulda been” versions are always interesting to contemplate. Vocally, I feel like Corey Hart made sense here and it’s a shame we never heard that.

Feel free to post what you found here in the comments! I'd love to hear.
In addition to the one you shared, I'll re-post the Girogio Morodo version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EX81rq0jig
Someone arranged it for concert band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdvLfJk5PfU
There's also a recent Kenny Loggins performance, which isn't as good as the living room version, but fun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcvBP08IG-w
Also the version from Archer (which I think that the original collaboration that lead to the living room concert): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RPRVMrFoJw
Love all of these. The concert band arrangement took a bit of getting used to but it's fun. And I love the duet with Charlene!

I hadn't really thought too closely about that but now that you mention it, I'd love to hear a Corey Hart version.
