Yeah, that song really needed a remake. Now it will be stuck in my head just like My God Is An Awesome God. And I just finished Rob Lowe's book too. Full circle moment...
Tom Brady's got a big fire engine that's gonna put out Tim Tebow's fire Sat night. I hope. If he doesn't well damn Tim Tebow to hell for all eternity
'St. Elmo's Fire' singer reworks 1980's hit for Tim Tebow

DENVER -- What happens when you combine one of the most popular songs of the 1980’s and one of today’s most popular athletes? A runaway Internet hit.
British rocker John Parr has re-recorded his 1985 #1 song “St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion),” with lyrics inspired by Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.
“Tim Tebow’s Fire” had more than 230,000 hits on YouTube Wednesday evening, just 48 hours after it was first posted on the FOX31 Denver YouTube Channel and Facebook page.
“I can see a new horizon, Underneath the blazin' sky,” Parr sings in the sweeping chorus. “I'll be where the eagle's flyin' higher and higher.”
“Gonna be a man in motion, All I needs my Broncos team. Take me where my future's lyin'
Tim Tebows Fire.”
Parr explained his decision to essentially parody his own song.
“I was inspired by Tim Tebow so I wanted to modify the lyrics...in his honor of the way that he lives his life as being a great example,” Parr told FOX31 Denver on Monday.
“St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion),” which Parr wrote and recorded for the Brat Pack-era movie of the same title, reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in September 1985 and received a Grammy nomination.
Parr originally performed 'Tim Tebow's Fire' live on ESPN in October 2011 and later released a full studio version. He also recently recorded a new song titled 'Just a Man’ - a completely original song about Tebow, although Parr never directly mentions him by name.
