Summertime Blues Author -- Eddie Cochran, Jerry Capehart ------------------------ "Take My Breath Away" is the name of a love song from the film Top Gun (1986). The song, performed by the band Berlin, was written by Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song in 1986. Releases and performances The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and also topped the charts in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the Republic of Ireland and Belgium. The song was also featured in several of the band's best-of and remix albums: Best of Berlin 1979-1988, Master Series, Greatest Hits Remixed (which includes a "Mission UK Remix" version), Live: Sacred & Profane and Metro Greatest Hits. "Take My Breath Away" was one of the only songs not written by Berlin's John Crawford that they had performed on any album up to that point. "Take My Breath Away" was re-released in the United Kingdom in October 1990 to coincide with the first television showing of Top Gun (by ITV, on the evening of October 6, 1990) as well as Peugeot's new television advertising campaign for the 405 model range. The re-release reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. Music video The music video features scenes from the film Top Gun intermingled with Berlin's singer Terri Nunn performing the song in blue coveralls walking between pieces of planes in a windy aircraft boneyard (part of the Mojave Air & Space Port) at night. Bandmates John Crawford and Rob Brill are shown relaxing in the yard and then following Terri. This video clip can be seen occasionally in VH1 Europe's Top 10 Movie Soundtracks program. This video was re-released within the 2004 Top Gun DVD Collector's Edition. Cover versions American pop singer Jessica Simpson covered "Take My Breath Away" and released it as the third single from the album In This Skin in 2004. Her version was produced by Billy Mann. Simpson chose to cover this song because she felt that it was the theme song of her relationship with her then husband, Nick Lachey. Simpson's version was also included on the compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 16 (from the U.S. Now! series). The remix is seen on Much Dance 2005. It also received heavy airplay on Mainstream Urban stations. Hong Kong Singer Sandy Lam covered this song in Cantonese in 1987. Originally Martha Davis of The Motels was asked by Giorgio Moroder to make a demo of the song. Her demo version is available on The Motels' Anthologyland CD. A French-language version, "Le bleu des regrets", was released by Gérard Lenorman in 1986. An Italian-language version, "Toglimi il respiro", was released by Cristiano Malgioglio The Shadows covered the song as an instrumental in 1987 on Simply Shadows. The band Copeland performed it on their album of cover songs, Know Nothing Stays the Same. It was translated into Cantonese and covered by Sandy Lam. Diana Ross covered the song in 2007 on the US release of her album I Love You. Soda Club featuring Hannah Alethea's cover of the song reached #16 in the UK Singles Chart in 2002. The pipes and drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards covered the song for their 2007 album, Spirit of the Glen. My Morning Jacket has a rendition on one of its Early Recordings discs. It ends with a clip from the film Top Gun. British singer Sharleen Spiteri covered the song for her 2010 album, "The Movie Songbook" American R&B singer Lloyd sampled the song in his 2012 song "Do It Again" featuring US rapper Nelly. In their recent album f0reVer7, the Mexican pop group OV7 released their version of the song titled "Quedate otra vez (Take my breath away)" In 2012, Dianna Agron and Naya Rivera covered this song in the TV series Glee in the episode "Prom-asaurus" (as their characters Quinn Fabray and Santana Lopez, respectively). Indie rock band We Are Scientists included a cover of the song featuring steel guitar on their 2013 EP Business Casual.
