    My daughter and I were discussing some of the popular songs that've been remade recently - seems like they're running out of new material - lol. Anyway - Rascal Flatts remade the song 'Life is a Highway' that's on the Disney movie 'Cars' soundtrack. I said Billy Squire sang the original back in the early 80's --- but dd said she doesn't think so, but couldn't say who did. I was so sure of myself and tried to look it up on Lyrics.com, but they don't have even one Billy Squire song listed, so of course I thought of asking here - you guys know how to find anything, if no one knows off-hand.

    What do you think?

    Thanks!

    It was Tom Cochrane with Red Rider. And it was in 1992

    Yup, Tom Cochrane. But I think that was in 1991.

    It looks like you're both correct. It was a hit in 91 in Canada and charted in the US in 92.
