Behind the scenes

Each song appears in The Goonies as incidental music. "I Got Nothing" is played during the movie's intro, while Andy instructs a group of cheerleaders to form a pyramid at school. "Wherever You're Going (It's Alright)" plays while Mikey mopes at home, and "14K" and "She's So Good To Me" play later when the other Goonies and Irene Walsh arrive to the house. "Love Is Alive" plays in the background of the scene where Troy, Stef, and Andy are out on a joyride in his Ford Mustang. "Save The Night" and "What A Thrill" play while Troy and his friends hang out around the Moss Garden Wishing Well.

The title track, "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough", plays as diegetic music in the form of a music video Brand is watching while the Goonies trap him against a sofa chair; the video shown in the movie is not the real music video made for the song. The song also plays during the film's credits.

Track two, "Eight Arms To Hold You," was included in the octopus scene that was ultimately removed from the final movie.
