I pray that they don't mean that god awful "The Touch:Sams theme" hahaha! I think Diggler's cover is even better than that horrible one!

Anywho, yeah, The Touch baby!

Click sig for comics!

Other than it being in the '86 movie...how is Dare to be Stupid a geek anthem? You'd think it'd be White 'n Nerdy instead.

Rightly so.

I remember my friend reading something about how awful it'd be if they played the Touch at the end of the LaM (Prime and Megatron's fight) or in the Forest scene in RotF (can you just imagine!!!) and he agreed! Clearly I'm the only smart one in that group as I think it would've just been amazing, in a bad sort of way maybe.

The Touch and Dare still cause me to tingle.......
