Goon Squad was a dance music group assembled by producer Arthur Baker. Their song "Eight Arms to Hold You" went to number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1985.[1] The song was used for the movie The Goonies; although the scene it was used in was deleted, it was still included on the soundtrack. A follow-up single, "Powerdrill", peaked at number thirty-one.[2]
