Yeah, but the theme from the 80s (can't remember if there was a TV show as well or just a movie) had the whole, "I want to live forever, I want to learn how to fly" bit with the big split jump. I always thought that was very skateable back then when I was little and hadn't ever seen an ice rink!

How about Flashdance from a similar sort of era?

Slightly off-topic, but yes, it was a TV show - a bit more soap-opera-ish than the movie, but still worth watching.

If you don't want to do a broadway musical thing, how about a folk or country ballad? Or even a pop song. I did Puppet on a String once, and also
Rolf Harris' Jake the Peg, which was great fun (but had the problem, with which I am still wrestling, of How Do You Follow That?).
