Christopher Cross - "Arthur's Theme" (#11 of 1981)

From the film "Arthur", this hit for Christopher Cross won the Academy Award in 1981 for Best Original Song. 

The original video was a performance of the song with scenes from the movie woven in.  I was unable to find it, so here is a rare video done for the Western Germany TV show "Bananas".  Very hokey special effects with a nearly comatose performance by Christopher Cross.  (Not that he's usually all that exciting of a performer.)
