My beautiful wife thought it was on the <em>Highlander<\/em> soundtrack.  I knew it was on the <em>Iron Eagle<\/em> soundtrack because some almost thirty years ago, a friend of mine played the song to pump herself up for softball games.  I thought perhaps Queen double-dipped and that it was on both soundtracks, but that is not the case.  It is on the <em>Iron Eagle<\/em> soundtrack.  But!  It is on the Queen album <em>A Kind of Magic<\/em> which also features a number of songs from the <em>Highlander<\/em> soundtrack.<\/p>\n<p>Another point of confusion: At the very end, Freddie Mercury says, &#8220;Gimmee fried chicken.&#8221;  I have told Mrs. Noggle and the little Noggles that perhaps this was because in the movie <em>Iron Eagle<\/em> they called downed bogies &#8220;fried chicken.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, last night, I reviewed the source material:<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/bsgfx\/ironeagle.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>But that is not the case.  According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/One_Vision\" target=\"_new\">Wikipedia entry for the song<\/a>, Freddie was just goofing around.<\/p>\n<p>Also, note: This is not the only Queen song on my gym playlist.
