View this post on InstagramOne of the film’s most memorable moments comes near the climax when Samberg's Rod and his crew rally for an impromptu “feel-good” town parade that spirals into an almost apocalyptic riot. As the chaos unfolds, John Farnham’s 1986 power ballad, “You’re the Voice,” swells in the background, creating an iconic and humorous contrast between Farnham’s anthemic optimism and the sheer absurdity on the screen.
But Hot Rod helped introduce the song to an entirely new generation. Thanks to the film’s long-running cult status, the moment has become one of its most enduring pop culture calling cards, turning an '80s power ballad into an unexpected comedy punchline.
Hot Rod is streaming on Prime Video.
