My wife insists that "The Touch" is made famous by Boogie Nights, but every worthy geek primarily knows the world's rockingest tune from Transformers: The Movie, and the epic battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron. Anybody who doesn't think of that when they hear this song is GAY, obviously, and should be shunned by society.
The latest rumor is that "The Touch" will be coming to Guitar Hero as free DLC, thanks to Stan Bush, the man responsible for the song. Bush informed a Transformers fan site that the song was coming, making this the greatest day in American history. We have no confirmation from Activision yet, but Stan Bush won't let us down. After all, he has the touch AND the power. Nobody's going to mess with him.
This event ranks up there with the Moon landing and Obama's inaguration. Humanity itself has been redefined.

You got the touch! You got the power!

just happy. happy. happy.
This is a defining moment in the history of the entire universe. I know now, together, as one race anything is attainable. Thank you Activision and Stan.
I know that's hyperbole, but I don't think it would be a good thing for Obama's legacy for just becoming president to be his greatest achievement.
I mean think about it. "Obama... was the first black president."
"And did he actually do anything?"
I hope he will do better. I just don't like jinxing it by acting as though this is already something huge.
Also, @Lord of the Night Knight: Get that political commentary outta here. Can't you see we have TRANSFORMERS to talk about?
I'll be over here hugging my Rock Band equipment hoping you'll see the light one day.
oh and prime dies like a little girl.
Okay, I'll shut up.
Also: Wasn't Weird Al Yankovic's "Dare to be Stupid" on this soundtrack?
It sounds like you have the dialogue to the movie memorized just like me.
"Open, dammit open!"
Well, good for those who like it.
Thank you, Jim!
A lot of the appeal comes from how it is used in the movie. Watch the scene here.
It should really be titled "Optimus Prime's Theme". A true hero. Neva 4get, or I'll "rip out your optics"
Also, 80's power ballads are always fun. Always.
You let your woman get away with that?
I would like never stop playing Guitar Hero, EVER if that happens.
Can we get Stan Bush's songs from the Bloodsport soundtrack, while we're at it? Maybe a Stan Bush track pack?
"Ku-mite! Ku-mite! Ku-mite! Ku-mite!"
