GI Joe movie theme song?

[RangerWickett]

Does anyone have a copy of this, or know where I can find it? I'm pretty sure there was never an official GI Joe soundtrack, so I don't feel bad getting a copy online (especially since I own the movie). I just want it on my MP3 list, so I can sing along and cry, "COBRA, coBRA!!!! COBRA, coBRA!!!!"

*grin*

Um.

I remember the theme to the GI Joe game on the C-64... does that count?

And GI Joe is there! G-I-Joe!!!

Oh, wait. That was the TV theme. There was a GI Joe movie?

The movie theme is the coolest! It starts with big, aggressive drums and tubas, and then this guy starts singing,

"Crashing through the sky / comes a fearful cry of / COBRA . . . . coBRA! / COBRA . . . . coBRA!!!

"Armies of the night / evil taking flight / COBRA . . . . coBRA! / COBRA . . . . coBRA!!!

It's great!

 

[Dark Jezter]

Crashing through the night
Comes a fearful cry
Cobra! Cobra!
Cobra! Cobra!
Armies of the night
Evil taking flight
Cobra! Cobra!
Cobra! Cobra!
No where to run
No where to hide
Panic spreading far and wide
Who can turn the tide?

GI Joe- A real American hero
Yo Joe!
GI Joe is there

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there

Can the world oppose
Deadliest of foes?
Cobra! Cobra!
Cobra! Cobra!
Joes will risk it all
To end the evil call of
Cobra! Cobra!
Cobra! Cobra!
They never give up
They never say die
Walking tall with banners high
They sound the battle cry-
Yo Joe! Yo Joe!

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe will dare
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there

Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there

GI Joe is the codename for American's daring, highly-trained special mission force. It's purpose, to defend human freedom against Cobra: a ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world.

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe will dare
GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
Fighting for freedom
Wherever there's trouble
over land and sea and air
GI Joe is there
Cobra! Retreat! Retreat!

GI Joe- A real American hero
GI Joe is there
GI Joe

Yeah, that was a pretty cool song. Wouldn't mind having it myself.

You're looking for GI Joe: the Movie from 1987. It had Don Johnson as Lt. Falcon, Burgess Meredith as Golobulus, Sgt. Slobber as um... himself, er, Slaughter, etc. Anyways, it should be on DVD so maybe you can rip it into an MP3 or just get real lucky and find it.

BTW, there was at least a couple other GI Joe movies like the matter transporter powered by 'elements' from the 4 corners of the earth and the 'Weather Dominator' that Destro built. Mostly it was an excuse to introduce even more toys.

Some trivia according to IMDB.com: Duke was supposed to die but instead it was changed to a coma. Had the movie gone to theaters (instead of straight to video) before the Transformers movie, Optimus Prime might have survived.
