Unbeknown to many

It is a little known fact that Patrick Swayze sang one of the numbers on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack - the hit 1987 movie in which he starred as Johnny Castle alongside Jennifer Grey (Frances 'Baby' Houseman).

Johnny Castle must be one of the funnier 'sounds-cool' movie names that we've ever had.

Incidentally, roman-nosed Jennifer went on to have a nose-job which promptly ended her career as nobody recognised her. Fact.

Jennifer Grey, before and after committing career suicide

Back to the point of the article, Patrick Swayze actually sang the song "She's like the wind" on the soundtrack. You should have another listen to it because it is nothing short of hysterical. You might remember the first line, "She's like the wind, through my tree".

THROUGH MY TREE !!!! Brilliant Paddy!

Anyway, here are the lyrics for the rest of the song - get hold of it, you have to have a listen.

Patrick Swayze - the man - the icon

SHE'S LIKE THE WIND
PATRICK SWAYZE

She's like the wind through my tree
She rides the night next to me
She leads me through moonlight
Only to burn me with the sun
She's taken my heart
But she doesn't know what she's done

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

[SOLO]

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

Feel her breath on my face
Her body close to me
Can't look in her eyes
She's out of my league
Just a fool to believe
I have anything she needs
She's like the wind

Feel your breath on my face
Your body close to me
Can't look in your eyes
You're out of my league
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
(She's like the wind)
Just a fool to believe
(Just a fool to believe)
She's like the wind
(Just a fool to believe)
Just a fool to believe
She's like the wind

(Just a fool...)
(She's like the wind)
(She's like the wind)
(Just a fool...)
(She's like the wind)
(Just a fool...)

Outstanding
