traceyk65 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Fritz Lang had a birthday yesterday too and while looking for tributes, I came across this series of videos. In the 80's a music promotor named Giorgio Moroder set Metroplis to pop music of the time. It's...interesting. Here's a sampling: "Love Kills" by Freddie Mercury: "Destruction" by Loverboy: "What's Going On?" by Adam Ant: "Cage of Freedom" by Jon Anderson: Dance scene: AND here's the link to the whole movie with the Moroder soundtrack: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us29EZ30nTc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
