The official music video for Michael Sembello's song "Maniac" features clips from the film Flashdance, with Jennifer Beals, as, Alex working out.
"Maniac" is a song performed by Michael Sembello. The song was used in the 1983 film Flashdance. "Maniac" appears during an early scene in Flashdance and is used as the backing track of a montage sequence showing Alex (Jennifer Beals) training strenuously in her converted warehouse. The song was included in Flashdance after Sembello's wife accidentally included it on a tape sent to executives at Paramount Pictures who were looking for music to use in the film.—Peter-Patrick76 (peter-patrick@mail.com)
