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.
