Am I really the only one that associates this as a big part of the Goonies?!
On a recent post about the Goonies, no one in the comment section seem to know about this
QuestionCame here to say the same thing. That music is burned into my brain.
Yes
Every kid in the 80s knew this
Lol yes we did
I'll be honest, I deliberately track down and watch this video a couple of times a year. It's a great song (and was used as the base for the soundtrack for The Goonies NES game) just in its own right, but the video really makes it special. It was such a product of its time.
Good enough!!
Aye ya ya ya yaaaaa
Wasn't this at the end of the movie on VHS?
if a person on the Goonies sub was a fan of the movie in the 80s then they absolutely know about this song and video.
Yes, I definitely associate the two and the old MTV logo fits right into my childhood.
I just realized recently that she also sang the theme song to Pee Wee’s Playhouse doing an imitation of Betty Boop.
Lol is Pee-Wee being her caddy on a putt-putt course???
The best part of this video was the intro with Roddy Piper
Dude the beginning is a who’s who of 80s wrestling superstars, there’s captain Lou, iron shiek, Nikolai vol kof amongst others
Piper just cracks me up when he picks up the cookie and the way he says cookies. But yeah, that was definitely my favorite part of the video with all those guys in it even classy Freddy Blasi.
Rock-n-wrestling
Do you remember the cartoon Hulk Hogan‘s rock and wrestling?
How?? This is, like, the first memory in my head when it comes to the Goonies.
Mikey: What are you doing?! It took him 376 lawn jobs to get that bike! It’s his most favorite thing in the world!
Mouth: Now it’s his most flattest thing in the world. 😂😂🤣🤣
so good. new found glory covered it and it rips
This I did not know
the album is from the screen to your stereo. even the neverending story theme gets handled. great album.
Nice, thanks. Have only heard the first track
cuz the goonies are good enough for me
Steven Spielberg is in it!
Great song :D
Lol, I’m really struggling to fit the syllables of “Goonies” into “Good enough” without it sounding really awkward. No wonder you weren’t exactly impressed.
As a kid I thought it was...
"Goonies are...for you and
Goonies are...for me and
Goonies are...good enough for me"
...which makes the syllables fit
On the contrary, 10yr old me loved it lol
Sounding it out now it was more like
“Goooonaaayys is for you”
Lol, I love it
I remember it. Why they decided to throw in WWF wrestlers for a movie that had nothing to do with them is beyond me.
I think that was more a Cyndi Lauper thing than anything else. For some reason, Captain Lou was a feature in a few of her videos. I believe there might have been a relationship between agents, and something to do with New Jersey natives, I have a vague recollection of hearing some combination of those things at some point.
I remember that, too. I just find it odd that they threw them into this music video. But then again, it was the 80’s and it’s stuff like that that makes us love it.
So I went out to Astoria one year. Stopped at the Goonie house and this song is the only thing I could hear in my head.
If they’re good enough for her, they are good enough for me.
What I didn't know for ages was there was a part 2.
Well, sure. You can’t end on a cliffhanger!
Watched this premiere on MTV - in stereo oooooo!
It’s good enough for me.
An incredible song.
Captain Lou Albano with the rubber bands all over his face always made me laugh.
There were 2 Goonies videos made for this.
I’m a big fan of the second one too.
It’s so weird, I wonder how many other songs had 2 distinct music videos for the same song (much less 2 videos of the same song that continue a story).
I do only because I grew up in the 80’s watching the goonies and listening to cyndi lauper
I remember mTV announcing that Lauper was singing for goonies and Duran Duran for the next bond film. As I was a bigger Cyndi fan, I remember wishing the news has been reversed
Captain Lue Albano mothafuckas
Cindy Lauper had the best videos back when she was running with Captin Lou.
So many wrestlers
I feel a little guilty. I love the Goonies. I saw it in the theater when I was 13. I like the song. This is the first time I’ve seen the video. Our cable didn’t get MTV until 1988.
I always thought was just common knowledge for fans of the movie, but hey, sometimes you just don’t know.
No way! Goonies for life!
It was a goonies song for sure.
Yeah, no shit. I assume you’re a bot?
I don’t remember the music video tbh, but I remember this song in the Goonies.
Good enough for me
I never forgot it, I would drink her bathwater
I remember this video. And I remember the hype for the The Goonies that happened. I remember how fun Lauper was then, and I remember the big craze she stirred up for Wrestling and the WWF following this video. Really fun times.
Don’t really remember this video, but the 8-bit instrumental version of the song was endlessly looped on a Goonies video game I played for many many hours. I 100% think of Goonies when I hear any part of this song.
