Piano Song from Tough Guys movie.

[psugrad98]

Does anyone remember the movie "tough guys" it is an 80s flick with Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas.

Well in one scene Burt's character is eating in his retirement home and this old lady is playing some upbeat piano song. I have it in my head for some unknown reason. Anyone know what this song title is?

It's by Wim Mertens, called Struggle for Pleasure.

One tough guy with a musical soul was Bob Mitchum. He co-wrote and preformed the title song of "Thunder Road" which is a ripping good little flick. The uber-hot Keely Smith is in it as well.

An excellent movie for Ford-lovers as well. Pretty damn cool.

Those two songs don't sound very similar to each other IMHO.

There's an App for that! I used my iPhone app Shazam and that's what came up. So far it's never been wrong. Maybe a different key or tempo? The old lady playing it in the clip was pretty bad....

To me it sounds a lot like Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home.

I gotta agree Slim, I think you nailed it.

Bingo!! I love Honkey Tonk Piano.

Very GOOD, Slim!!

I agree, it's also "Bill Bailey Won't you Please Come Home?"

Sorry I couldn't help you find the song but thank you for reminding of this movie! I haven't seen it in years.
