"Right Now" was in the soundtrack for the videogame "Splashdown", which came out in ~2000. I heard the song and had the "...I KNOW this song...but from where??" moment...Google is my friend :-) After I looked up their version of 1985, the YouTube video linked to “Right Now” and I realized that I actually DO know SR-71. “Right Now” was in the soundtrack for the videogame “Splashdown”, which came out in ~2000.

They were a "1 hit wonder" from my high-school years, with the song "Right Now." But once I was in college they released the album I mention above, "Here we go Again" - and to this day it's actually one of my favorite albums!! Just something about it that keeps me coming back.<br><br>Nu Well, you're very welcome Coyote. Hope you enjoy them.

In the process, you've tipped me off to SR-71, a band which i hadn't formerly heard of. Not only is their name great (c'mon, a band named after a high-altitude recon. jet? Awesome.), but their music is equally awesome. Thanks a bunch for your post! I would sincerely like to thank you for your curiosity.

So anyway, I write to ask if it was “as easy as” getting in touch with Bowling For Soup's label, or did you they send you to SR-71 folks to get a lisence?

If you're curious in hearing “the original” recording, it's on SR-71's “Here we go Again” album.

I think I'm just going to buy a second hat to support this song??? I've gotta figure something out. :)
