Limahl — Never Ending Story

Giorgio Moroder's synth-pop theme for the 1984 fantasy film The NeverEnding Story is broadly present across the global charts today, tracked across 56 country and platform charts after a brief lull. The song's modern second life traces to Stranger Things Season 3, where Dustin and Suzie belt it as a duet over a radio in the season's 1985-set finale — a scene that reintroduced the track to a generation that never saw the original film. Limahl, who fronted new-wave act Kajagoogoo before going solo, told People he had no advance knowledge of the Netflix placement. With Season 3 set on July 4, 1985, the timing of this resurgence ahead of the holiday weekend is no coincidence.
