Beth Andersen (born 1954) is an American singer[1] and voice actress fromLexington, Kentucky.
Andersen's first notable release was the song "Dance Dance Dance" which appeared in the 1983 filmScarface as well as onits soundtrack. "Dance Dance Dance" became iconic in the following years due to its use in the scene where Octavio the Clown is gunned down. The song also appeared on the US 7" version ofDebbie Harry's single "Rush Rush", another song from theScarface soundtrack. "Dance Dance Dance" was also featured in the 2006 video gameScarface: The World Is Yours.[2]
Andersen performed background vocals forLimahl's No. 1 (in Norway, Spain and Sweden) hit "The NeverEnding Story", the theme song for the 1984eponymous film, though she was not credited as a featured artist. Her lyrics were recorded in America separately from Limahl's[3] and accordingly she did not appear in the music video. One of Limahl's back-up singers, Mandy Newton, lip-synched Andersen's lyrics for the music video. Limahl and Andersen only performed the song together on a few occasions, including on the TV seriesSolid Gold andAmerican Bandstand.[1]
