TOP GUN has a lot of awesome scenes, but this is by far one of the best. Set to Kenny Loggins “Playing With the Boys”, Maverick and Goose take on Iceman and Slider in an no-holds-barred beach volleyball match. Other than Goose — who’s in shorts and a arm-less t-shirt — everyone is shirtless and in bluejeans / sweatpants. That’s how beach volleyball is meant to be played boys.

Oh, and Slider, you stink!

A music video of Through the Fire, which was on the Top Gun soundtrack. Below are the lyrics:

I will take it to the wire now
Until every race is run
I’ll go straight into the fire now
Until every day is done
Voices say – break away
Live the night as if each moment
Was the only one

Through the fire
To the wire
When the night out of control
Is breaking your heart
Through the fire
To the wire
When the flames are burning hot
They take you higher
Through the fire.

There’s a feeling that I can’t ignore
Like a stranger at my door
So revealing that I cannot hide
When you settle up the score
Voices say – night and day
Live your life as if each second
Was the final one

Through the fire
To the wire
When the night out of control
Is breaking your heart
Through the fire
To the wire
When the flames are burning hot
They take you higher

I look for signs that you are here tonight
When the passion calls the pleasure to the pain
Then I ask you of the meaning when you talk of love
Would you take the leap of faith?
Would you throw it all away?

Through the fire
To the wire
When the night out of control
Is breaking your heart
Through the fire
To the wire
When the flames are burning hot
They take you higher
Through the fire.
Through the fire
To the wire
When the night out of control
Is breaking your heart
Though the fire
To the wire
