I had long forgotten about this movie until I ran across a post over at Stuck in the 80's and so I just had to take a look at the video "Electric Dreams" by Human League lead singer Philip Oakey and producer Giorgio Moroder... from the very forgettable movie "Electric Dreams," here is Moroder and Oakey with "Together in Electric Dreams"...
