"Danger Zone" is a rock song from the soundtrack to the 1986 American motion picture Top Gun. It was composed by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock, and performed by Kenny Loggins.

Overview

Moroder originally asked Bryan Adams to record this song, but he was said to have rejected it because he had disliked the jingoism expressed in Top Gun. The rock group Toto was also supposed to perform the song, but due to legal matters, it was passed to Loggins.^[1]

The second single released from the Top Gun soundtrack, "Danger Zone" was a commercial success, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song continues to be popular today, continuing in heavy rotation on Classic Rock radio stations in the United States.^{[citation needed]}

Dann Huff, lead vocalist and guitarist from '80s Hard Rock group Giant recorded guitar for the track.

The song was featured in the films Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, Sex Drive and 17 Again, the episode "Eight Misbehavin" of the television series The Simpsons and in the episode "Slutty Pumpkin" from the television series How I Met Your Mother .
