The Girl Gets Around was performed by Sammy Hagar for the soundtrack to Footloose, the 1984 dance film about a teenager challenging a ban on dancing. Written for a scene built around youthful rebellion and attraction, the track became one of the album's upbeat rock cuts alongside its hit singles. Online the short hook circulates as a ready made entrance theme, reused in edits, memes and tribute clips for its clear lyric, retro feel and instant association with confident, music driven movie moments.
