Great work James! I can't stop re-viewing this excellent film. Today I looked up the song in the second half (after the Eye of the Tiger, first half). "touchin you, touchin me" turns out to be a song by OMD called I Believe In A Thing Called Love.
I had never heard of it (the song, not the actual emotion
) so it was very exciting for me to hear it during those fabulous visuals. A love song about catamaran sailing; that's my kind of film!
Here's the lyrics to the song by Orchestral Manuevers in the Dark, OMD. Very exciting music with the vocalist extending to falsetto and indeed, absolutely screaming out the words. Pardon my excitement here, but not having ever heard it, combined with hearing it while looking at the best cat video I've seen, ....
is just purely terrific!

my heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steerin wheel,
touchin you,
touchin me,
touchin you cuz you're touchin me....
i beleive in a thing called love,
just listen to the rythm of my heart,
there's a chance we can make it now,
we'll be rockin till the sun goes down,
