31 | !!Tropes in his works: |
32 | |
33 | * AdamWesting: Has made a habit of it in his later years, playing exaggerated versions of himself in things like ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' and ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV''. |
34 | * ChristmasSongs: "Celebrate Me Home" isn't much of one to start with, but has been on rotation on Christmas playlists given that one of the starting lines is "Home for the holidays". |
35 | * PepTalkSong: While "This Is It" is often taken to be a PleaseDontLeaveMe song, Loggins has clarified that "it's not a love song, it's a life song", with lyrics meant to encourage his father, who was going through major health problems at the time, not to give up. |
36 | -->You said that maybe it's over\ |
37 | Not if you don't want it to be\ |
38 | For once in your life, here's your miracle\ |
39 | Stand up and fight |
40 | * ThreeMinutesOfWrithing: Minus all the jet fighter footage, the music video of "Danger Zone" stars with him singing in a bedroom, then landing on his bed, then writhing around until the song climaxes ([[TheImmodestOrgasm and apparently, him too.]]) The HoYay apparently was too powerful to stay in [[Film/TopGun the film]] itself. |
