Step 1 : Introduction to the question "In the iconic “Risky Business” dance scene, what song is Tom Cruise dancing to?"
On this day in 1983, the comedy film Risky Business, starring Tom Cruise in a breakout performance, opened in U.S. theaters. In the film, Cruise played Joel Goodsen, a suburban Chicago teen who has a series of misadventures when his parents go out of town and leave him home alone. Risky Business featured the now-famous scene in which Cruise’s character lip-syncs and dances around his house in a dress shirt and underwear to the accompaniment of Bob Seeger’s hit song “Old Time Rock and Roll.”
