It's POWER BALLAD time, my pretties!
Heart is best known for two songs: Barracuda and Magic Man, but in my fannish little heart, this song held supreme. Seriously, I have no idea why nobody's done a music vid of all the various OTPs to this song--Hutch carrying Starsky out of a burning building, old school Spock grinning at Kirk, the Professionals playing with their guns together, Hobbes yanking Fawkes out of traffic, Blake patting Avon on the shoulder while Avon gives him the fish-eye, whatever. I mean, for crap's sake, people; this is the chorus:
Allies,
With our backs against the wall
I will answer when you call
And take on the odds
For what we believe is true
Allies,
In a world of too much choice
I only need your voice
To tell me you care
I'll be anywhere for you!
ALLIES!
With only slightly over a thousand views, this isn't anybody else's favorite video. This was the best version I could find, and it's a kinda fuzzy, but stick with it to see the final hand porn.
Okay, shut up, THAT USED TO MAKE ME CRY! I can just imagine the casting notes for the guy with the sledgehammer: "We need someone who the audience will know is adorable and trustworthy and is really just the best guy ever the second they get a good look at his open, smiling face. And really built, so his silhouette is scary, if drool-worthy." HE IS SO HAPPY HE FOUND HIS OTP IN ALL THAT SCARY, BOMBED-OUT WRECKAGE, PEOPLE! The fact that they are all about to die of radiation poisoning means nothing, because they found one another and can die in one another's arms. Yeah, that really pushed my buttons back then.
Somebody needs to make me the Ultimate OTP vid to this song. And then they would of course dedicate it to ME, ME, ME because I found the obscure music for them, and I am The Wind Beneath Their Wings! Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now!
