Scarface (Push It to the Limit)

Scarface (Push It to the Limit) is a classic song performed by Paul Engemann which can be summed up as a musical ode to the world’s greatest badass, Tony Montana, aka Scarface. This iconic track is from the equally iconic 80s movie “Scarface” which starred the legendary Al Pacino as the titular character.

The song serves as a fitting tribute to the gloriously chaotic life of Tony Montana; a Cuban immigrant who clawed his way to the top of the Miami criminal underworld, leaving a trail of blood, guts, and cocaine behind him. The lyrics of Scarface (Push It to the Limit) are riddled with the kind of macho bravado that Tony Montana would surely approve of.

The chorus, which demands that one push it to the limit, seems to suggest that the only way to truly live life is to constantly challenge oneself and never back down from any challenge. This is, of course, the exact ethos that Tony Montana lived by, and it ultimately proved to be his downfall.

The video for Scarface (Push It to the Limit) is filled with enough cheesiness to make any 80s action movie fan feel giddy with nostalgia. We see Paul Engemann belting out the song while surrounded by a group of gyrating ladies in glittery, skin-tight outfits.

All in all, the song Scarface (Push It to the Limit) remains a cult classic to this day, and it’s easy to see why. It’s impossible to listen to it without feeling pumped up and ready to take on whatever life throws at you. So, in the words of Tony Montana himself, “Say hello to my little friend!”
