Sticking with my Karate Kid theme from last week (because why not?), Peter Cetera's contribution to the The Karate Kid, Part II soundtrack was a Billboard #1 hit in the summer of 1986.At the end of the movie Daniel gets caught up in a fight to the death with Sato's nephew, the kid with no honor. Miyagi helps guide his student to victory (although no murder takes place; imagine if Daniel had killed the guy like he was supposed to? That would have been a surprising turn of events...) by playing a little toy drum. Supposedly the drum held the secret to karate passed down through generations of Miyagi's family in Okinawa.
I got one of those drums as a souvenir on a family vacation to Puerto Rico, which at the time made perfect sense to me.
