Flashdance is a 1983 American romantic drama film directed by Adrian Lyne. It was the first collaboration of producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, and the presentation of some sequences in the style of music videos was an influence on other 1980s films including Top Gun (1986), Simpson and Bruckheimer's most famous production. Flashdance opened to negative reviews by professional critics, but was a surprise box office success, becoming the third highest-grossing film of 1983 in the United States. It had a worldwide box-office gross of more than $100 million. Its soundtrack spawned several hit songs, including "Maniac" (performed by Michael Sembello(, and the Academy Award-Winning "Flashdance... What a Feeling" (performed by Irene Cara), which was written for the film.

First when there's nothing

But a slow glowing dream

That your fear seems to hide

Deep inside your mind

All alone, I have cried

Silent tears full of pride

In a world made of steel

Made of stone

Well, I hear the music

Close my eyes, feel the rhythm

Wrap around, take a hold of my heart

What a feeling

Being's believing

I can have it all

Now I'm dancing for my life

Take your passion

And make it happen

Pictures come alive

You can dance right through your life

Now I hear the music

Close my eyes, I am rhythm

In a flash, it takes hold of my heart

What a feeling, being's believing

I can have it all

Now I'm dancing for my life

Take your passion

And make it happen

Pictures come alive

Now I'm dancing through my life

What a feeling

What a feeling (I am music now)

Being's believing (I am rhythm now)

Pictures come alive

You can dance right through your life

What a feeling (I can really have it all)

What a feeling

(Pictures come alive when I call)

I can have it all (I can really have it all)

Have it all (pictures come alive when I call)

(Call, call ,call, call, what a feeling)

I can have it all (being's believing)

Being's believing (take your passion)

(Make it happen) Make it happen

(What a feeling) What a feeling.
