Covered by everyone from Gene Vincent to Kylie Minogue, it was No 1 in the Recording Industry Association of America's 'Songs of the Century'. Certainly a reprise of the song was trimmed from the final cut, but 'Rainbow' survived to become one of the most memorable anthems of the century. Legend has it that studio executives wanted to cut Judy Garland's 'Over the Rainbow' because it dragged out the downbeat Kansas opening. Fitting, then, that our number one contender is a cross-generic masterpiece (is it a jolly kids' singalong? A dark adult fairy tale? A subversive camp classic? Even a snuff movie?) which won Oscars for both original score (for Herbert Stothart) and best original song (Arlen and Harburg). So we'll be having none of this 'incidental scores only' snobbery in our list. Songs by Harold Arlen / EY Harburgįilm soundtracks are a broad church, encompassing classic orchestral scores and pop jukebox compilations, spoken word and sonic effects. If you think of it with regard to the '80s, well, it's probably here.Composer: Herbert Stothart. But the show's music is still completely in-tune with the vibes of the original films. Cobra Kai might find Johnny Lawrence ( William Zabka) and Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) 34 years after their Karate Kid days living in the 2020 (ok, 20) present. That doesn't mean the spirit isn't still there, though. But, damn it, Cobra Kaiis here, and through two seasons has managed to have a badass soundtrack full of '80s bangers, and somehow hasn't played that old theme song even once. It's hard to think of music from The Karate Kid without thinking of the classic theme song from the original, "You're The Best" by Joe Esposito. Check out every song featured in the series below.The series not only follows the events of The Karate Kid movies, but keeps with their spirit musically-the soundtrack is full of '80s jams that Johnny Lawrence would definitely love.The first two seasons of Cobra Kai are now streaming on Netflix.
