Song #67: Kenny Loggins - "I'm Alright"


Song #67: Kenny Loggins - "I'm Alright" (1980)
Caddyshack: Music from the Motion Picture
"I'm alright...I'm alright...I'm alright; just let me be."

Whether you're hungover, tired, or simply not in the mood for interactions with people, I find that Kenny Loggins' addicting song "I'm Alright" makes for a fitting theme song. The song was my theme song sophomore year in high school, when I started to slowly but surely make a name for myself in the halls of my high school, but still didn't want to be consistently bothered by hearing about my strange physical and social attributes.

"I'm Alright" is your quintessential pop/rock song from the eighties, making its claim to fame in the comedy classic Caddyshack, and boasting everything from an infectious chorus to a damn-honest attitude about just wanting to be left alone and left to your own work. Loggins has consistently inspired me, with his presence on the soundtracks of several successful eighties films, from Footloose to Top Gun, consistently bringing a wonderful and addicting anthem to the table to go along with a fun, silly film. "I'm Alright" not only effectively brings that to life but also provides for a song that can really fit many peoples' moods throughout a day at work, school, or life in general.
