OK, there was a song on the radio - definitely from the 80s - and it had the words of something like "hero" or "fighter" in it......I immediately thought of Top Gun, Rocky, Over The Top - But I'm pretty sure that it isn't from those movies.  I'm really counting on somebody to shed some light, but I remember no melody or any lines of lyrics from the song.......See what you can do!

Maybe this one?

Bonnie Tyler
Holding Out For A Hero


Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need



I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light
He's gotta be sure
And it's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life

Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet



Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there's someone somewhere
Watching me

Through the wind end the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood

No, it was a man singing actually - maybe a male group.......I've tried searching google and whatnot for lyrics, maybe a line or two will pop into my head sooner or later........

Err... This one?

Flash (Flash's Theme)
Queen

Flash - Ah - Saviour of the universe
Flash - Ah - He'll save ev'ry one of us
Seemingly there is no reason for these
Extraordinary intergalactical upsets (ha ha ha)
What's happening Flash?
Only Dr Hans Zarkov formerly at N A S A
Has provided any explanation
Flash - Ah - He's a miracle
This mornings unprecedented solar eclipse
Is no cause for alarm
Flash - Ah - King of the impossible
He's for ev'ry one of us
Stand for ev'ry one of us
He'll save with a mighty hand
Ev'ry man ev'ry woman ev'ry child
With a mighty Flash
General Kala Flash Gordon approaching
What do you mean Flash Gordon approaching?
Open fire all weapons
Dispatch war rocket Ajax to bring back his body

Flash - Ah
Gordon's alive
Flash - Ah - He'll save ev'ry one of us
Just a man with a man's courage
He knows nothing but a man
But he can never fail
No one but the pure in heart
May find the golden grail oh oh oh oh
Flash Flash I love you
But we only have fourteen hours to save the Earth

Are you thinking about "Jukebox Hero" by Foreigner?

Hmm - It wasnt hero from flashdance/footloose whichever movie......and it wasnt jukebox hero.......i dont think the song title had the word "hero" in it.......i dunno, it's just an overall triumphant song, probably fitting into the movie where the male wins the female or some personal battle.......you know how those movies work haha

i really appreciate all of your feedback , lets keep it coming!    :)

"Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor?

Quoting:

it sounds like the glory of love

"i am the man who will fight for your honour
i`ll be the hero that you`ve been dreamin of
growin together
knowing forever
that we did it all
for the glory of love"
