comes from the soundtrack to Toys, which remains one of my favorite movies for style points alone. And this track in particular wraps up so much of the soundtrack - they were already hinting at this by pulling the "HOO! HAH!" chants into Workers, but setting the climax of the film to Frankie Goes to Hollywood's Welcome to the Pleasuredome mixed with phrases from the rest of the soundtrack and a heaping helping of Hans Zimmer flair over the top of it (hey, remember when Zimmer did soundtracks that weren't just a foghorn? 😉)... might be one of the most Get Hype moments I've ever heard for what is ultimately a licensed song on a film soundtrack.
So there's a funny story to this tune for me.
I had a low-quality MP3 of it for years. I was trying to find the Toys soundtrack so I could make a HQ rip. I stumbled upon a copy at a thrift store, and was excited cause I could replace it with a better quality version!
Except the version I heard wasn't the one above, but a completely different mix:

Turns out I own a promo version of the soundtrack, which has a mix of this song unique to this version of the album.
The producer of this soundtrack album is Trevor Horn, a man who I swear makes like 500 mixes for every song he produces. (There's like a dozen different mixes/edits of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's biggest hit "Relax"! Good luck figuring out which one was the version you remember!) And naturally he did the same damn thing to this remix of a song from the 1980s, of which that has about a dozen different mixes too!
WHY CAN'T YOU MAKE JUST ONE MIX, TREVOR HORN
even funnier to me, about Trevor Horn: the fact that (as part of The Art of Noise) he released an album containing 8 different mixes of the same song. And that doesn't even account for all of them; I am aware of Diversion Eight and Diversion Ten existing but not being on that disc.
