We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome) - Tina Turner - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"We Don't Need Another Hero" is a song by Tina Turner, released on July 8, 1985, as part of the soundtrack for the post-apocalyptic film, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, in which Turner also starred. The song was penned by Graham Lyle and Terry Britten, and produced by the latter. Musically speaking, "We Don't Need Another Hero" combines soft rock instrumentation with a subtle layer of synthesizers, driven forward by Tina Turner's soulful vocals and a prominent saxophone line. The lyrics evoke the war-weary theme of the film, as Turner's character, Aunty Entity, longs for a world without heroes and battles, reflecting the universal desire for peace and stability. This emotionally-charged anthem resonated with audiences, securing its place in 1980s pop culture. The track was a commercial triumph, peaking at Number 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and reaching the top spot in Canada and Number 3 on the UK Singles Chart. It garnered a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song and was Tina Turner's second biggest hit after "What's Love Got to Do with It."
