Nerdvana: Friends by Dragon Sound

No, this  Nerdvana is not about the NBC sitcom. Rather, it’s another musical number from the 1987 movie Miami Connection, about martial artist Y.K. Kim and his merry band of karate kompanions who sing songs with the kinds of lyrics that one would expect to hear on a Saturday morning kids’ show and fight motorcycle riding ninjas. A legendary must see.  This song is an ear worm, but there are much worse songs that you could have stuck in your head. This movie makes me think about how much cooler the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers would have been if the kids’ had also formed a band. Let’s rock!

Nerdvana: Dragon Sound – Against the Ninja

Today’s Nerdvana is a rock-and-roll masterpiece from the camp classic film Miami Connection (1987 — the year we graduated high school!), about a band of shirts-optional orphans led by motivational martial artist Y.K. Kim who are also a band called Dragon Sound taking on drug peddling ninjas, a legendary must-see.

Wouldn’t it be great if someone made a rock song about exterminating ninjas with the powers of positivity and friendship? Thankfully, someone did. Enjoy “Against the Ninja”.

How is this a Nerdvana? It’s a rock song by a band of karate-kicking orphans about using unity, friendship and positivity to wipe out ninjas? The question you should be asking is how is this NOT a Nerdvana?
