We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)

"We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" is a power ballad performed by Tina Turner. It was released in 1985 as the theme song for the film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, in which Turner also starred as Aunty Entity.

The song was written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle. Its lyrics explore themes of disillusionment, searching for guidance in a bleak future, and questioning the conventional notion of a "hero." Instead of a typical savior figure, the song suggests a need for empathy and connection.

"We Don't Need Another Hero" was a major commercial success, reaching number one in several countries, including Australia, Spain, and Switzerland. In the United States, it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. It also earned nominations for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

The song is characterized by its soaring vocals, anthemic chorus, and prominent use of a children's choir. Its music video, featuring footage from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, further contributed to its popularity. "We Don't Need Another Hero" has become one of Tina Turner's signature songs and remains a widely recognized and celebrated track. It is often associated with the Mad Max franchise and the 1980s pop music scene.
