Q: I need help finding a song (and a movie). The movie was from the '80s and was about a friendly robot of some kind. What was the song that played during the chase scene at the end?
This is surely a proud moment in the history of "Short Circuit 2" (1988).
Most people remember the song "Holding Out for a Hero," by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler, from the movie "Footloose" (1984), a much more successful film that's now considered a classic. "Short Circuit 2" is not as fondly remembered (a sequel to a movie with a pretty limited premise: What if robots were sassy?).

You can tell I'm new to drinking because of what I order. I'm not one of those cool people who likes whiskey or scotch -- I like really sweet drinks like cosmos, fruit-flavored vodkas, the stuff that makes the bartender assume I got in with a fake ID.
