Lost song in closing credits of 80's movie
This is challenging! Please help name the song that plays as the closing credits roll in an 80's (90's?) movie which I also can't recall! I've asked all my musician & trivia friends, even the director of programming at our classic rock radio station! All I have is the lyric, "Love... means... nothing in tennis!" Neither the song nor movie are obscure by any stretch of the imagination. The song is well produced, performed & has a male vocalist. It didn't seem to reflect the plot of the movie, but had to be given "top billing" in the closing for a reason. Please help! Thank you!

Sorry everyone if this seems overly vague! The song itself is up tempo & fun. The lyric is definitely tounge-in-cheek, giving it a Warren Zevon vibe. The instruments are well played, with electric guitar featured prominently after the lyric. I just wish I remember any other lyrics! It's definitely the first song in the credits! Thanks again!

caspare,
Thank you for helping! Unfortunately, I don't hear the lyric in there which is very prominent in the production from my memory. I was really hoping it would be a movie like that (don't think I've actually seen it!) or an artist like Kenny. I've loved him since Loggins & Messina! I've listened to my Elvis Costello & checked track listings on my Warren Zevon albums but haven't found it. I've stopped short of checking every potential soundtrack I own, trying not to be obsessed! I wonder if it's a Randy Newman song? The pacing of the lyric spaces "Love... means..." then connects quickly "nothing in tennis." This is more challenging than I imagined! Thanks again!

What makes you think neither the song nor movie are obscure?
