Midnight Madness is a 1980 comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and starring David Naughton, Stephen Furst and Maggie Roswell. The film is about a group of college students who participate in an all night puzzle solving race. It is Michael J. Fox's film debut.
Leon (Alan Solomon), a genius, summons five college students to his apartment and challenges them to participate in his latest game creation: The Great All-Nighter. He tells them about his game and instructs them to form teams. At first, the leaders refuse to play. However, rivalries between them lead all five to change their minds by the game's start time.
The game works like this:
Leon, as "game master," keeps track of the teams locations with a giant map, and various radio equipment. The teams are supposed to call and check in at each clue (though many of the teams end up skipping at least one location).
Starting at sundown, the five teams meet and are given envelopes with the first clue. They travel around Los Angeles, deciphering new clues in various locations, including the Griffith Observatory, a piano museum, the Pabst Blue Ribbon brewery, a restaurant, a mini golf course, the Los Angeles International Airport, and a video arcade. The first team to reach the final destination, a room in the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, wins the game.

Love you baby and I always will,
Without you, I've just got time to kill,
Day and night, night and day,
I look for trouble, find a sure fire way.
Come back baby, give me give me one more chance, 'cause I love, I love you.
Got me walkin', put me in a trance, 'cause I love you.
Like a prisoner caught in my own own dream,
I used to worry 'bout what might have been.
Love was here, now it's gone,
I found out too late, you're the one.
Come back baby, give me give me one more chance, 'cause I love, I love you.
Got me walkin', put me in a trance, 'cause I love you.
Around midnight my feelin's start to show,
Wind me up 'til I can't take no more.

Dee-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo...{Dave scat}

Midnight madness gonna turn me around ....'round!
