This is one of those "it seemed like a good idea at the time." Little did I know when I put these songs together as a medley that they would case me a lot of grief when I started writing the website. It's the one song I've got to go in and manually edit after the database system does it's magic. At some point, I'll go back and split them into two separate tracks and update everything so it'll re-generate automatically.

Anyway - both are good songs - as witnessed by What a Feeling winning the Academy Award for Best Song and with Maniac also nominated. Can't remember another movie that had two songs nominated.
