Sammy Hagar - Winner Takes It All (1987) (From The Movie "Over The Top" Soundtrack) WIDESCREEN 720p

This is the official music video for "Winner Takes It All" by Sammy Hagar, taken from the Sylvester Stallone movie "Over The Top" soundtrack released in 1987.

This is a re-upload but has been enhanced, deblocked and remastered to 16:9 and 720p.

John Wetton, lead singer of the rock group Asia, sang "Winner Takes It All" for the movie, but after performing the song, it was felt that his voice wasn't "mean" enough, so the song was offered to Hagar, whose version, featuring a bass guitar solo from Hagar's then-bandmate Edward Van Halen, ended up being the one on the soundtrack.
Hagar and Eddie Van Halen wrote this with the help of songwriters Giorgio Moroder and Tom Whitlock.
Stallone appears in the video for "Winner Takes It All," wrestling Hagar at the end of the video. Hagar says in his video commentary on the DVD "The Long Road To Cabo" that he wasn't crazy about the song. Hagar says that Stallone gave him his black cap at the end of the shoot, both signed it, and the cap went to charity, fetching around $10,000. (wiki)

Winner Takes It All lyrics:

I, watch with open eyes
'Till it's time
To take it all the way
Every day
The game is ours to play
Oh tell me why
There are no alibis
Winner takes it all
Loser takes a fall
Fight to the beginning of the end
Winner takes it all
'Til he breaks the fall
In time he'll make it over the top
Hey
You listen when I say
There's a dream
Oh that's comin' true today yeah
Never turn away
When the challenge is alive
The choice is yours to make
In every chance you take
'Cause the winner takes it all
Loser takes a fall
Fight to the beginning of the end
Winner takes it all
'Till he breaks the fall
In time he'll make it over the top
First the mind-then the soul
And when the heart
Gets pumped up for the goal
There's no defeat-you'd sooner die
It's man to man
As we stand eye to eye
Winner takes it all.........
